Ioneven get to smell like romanticized scents when I go to bed.

I gotta smell medical grade hypoallergenic lotion and fragrance free creams and I'm fairly certain the new face moisturizer I have to use (ever since Cetaphil betrayed me by changing their formula) p.much smells lightly of fish/castor oil to some people (I am one of those people) but it may work rly well for me so that's a real treat innit?

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Gonna assume the queen dying sucks kinda in the same way it would have sucked if Trump died while he was the president in the sense that we'd all be meme-ing about it all to hell but every official news outlet and all the politicians even ones who hate him and shit would be forced to treat it like this Horrible Somber Event and talk about how unpatriotic celebrating is and how we have to be nice cuz he was the president and then he'd basically become this untouchable martyr and it would overshadow every shitty thing his government had ever done and was continuing to do until they could basically get away with whatever

But like 8000000% worse

like full sympathy to the uk working class bcs if I had to listen to a single person say "this is bigger than politics we have to come together as americans to mourn our leader" I'd immediately go commit arson so yeah I am so sorry you're gonna have to put up with an infinitely worse version of that

The hideous and egregious amount this will effect our economy by paying billions for both a funeral and a coronation as well as destroy news on far more important events is honestly hard to wrap my head around However I still have to celebrate the little thinigs while I can do for today I will feel joy Tomorrow will be time for wrath

There's a wikipedia page dedicated to QE2's personal jewelry, which you can get to by linking from a page of all the jewelry owned by the monarchy, and people are running gofundmes to pay for their heating.

Austerity has meant that people have been declared 'fit to work' when they are incapable of doing so, and they have died to save the English government money.

And that's not even *slightly* touching the ongoing colonialism.

So yeah. Crab rave.

anyone else think the timing of this whole queen dying shit is a little bit convenient considering if she actually kicks it all the media is going to be talking about for the next however many months is her funeral and the new monarch instead of. yknow. the fact the government is in the middle of taking our human rights away. anyone else feel like this just a little bit too perfectly timed to not be blanket coverage

(EDIT) y'all are doing my fucking head in in the notes lmao like you really missed the point here, just ignore my mostly joking accusation of staging the queen's death for a sec here and maybe think about how even if they didn't do that, they are definitely going to take advantage of the situation as much as possible to distract from the fact that millions of poor brits will starve and freeze to death in their homes this winter whilst what little money they have will be spent on her solid gold coffin. if it's not a conspiracy already it's going to become one. they will take any opportunity they can to make sure the media and the government and by extension WE don't have to talk about the worst cost of living crisis in decades and our increasingly fascist leadership. they WILL make sure this is all we hear about as they continue chipping away at our rights and our wallets throughout autumn and winter and beyond. making jokes and celebrating her death is all well and good and we should be glad she's dead but this is only going to make matters worse for the poorest and most vulnerable people in our country. the tyranny she oversaw and was complicit in will not end just because she's dead. they'll use it to get away with even more shit

No but in all seriousness, memes aside, much love to all my friends in the UK right now. I know shit's about to be chaotic and nationalistic and shitty, and I hope the media circus ends as quickly as possible.

Yeah, no, fuck that. I'm glad she's dead, and my sympathy goes to the impoverished people of the UK who deserve warm homes, bountiful food, and the complete removal of the parasites that call themselves the monarchy, but who are about to go through a period of forced mourning for someone who was genuinely evil. Money is about to be funneled into a massive display of British nationalism, and it's disgusting.

Fuck the queen, I hope she burns in hell.
