Here’s a page from the spa treatment list in the hotel we’re staying in. I don’t understand why anyone would…want this???? I just keep coming back to the fact that you might be told it’s gotta stay up there for TWO HOURS, gathering max infections while you “relax”

It’s wild how many people seem to think that teachers and nurses are easily replaceable. I think there’s a sense that these are “girl jobs” that anyone can rock up and just…do. Even if they were jobs that didn’t require years of training as well as a particular constitution, the people who do them would still be valuable. We aren’t required to treat workers as fungible. But this way of seeing feminized jobs as easy is leading us to a long-term crisis.

Welp, it’s still 3 weeks away and we’re already stranded. IcelandAir has just told us, see ya, bye Josephine and I can feasibly stay until the end of February if we need to, but my partner needs to get back by early February and that’s not feeling great right now if they’re already cancelling flights that are weeks away
