Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it

'Six AM', 1930 - William Wolfson

[ID: a black and white lithograph of a person mopping the floor in an otherwise empty room or hallway, a bucket standing next to them. the streak of water coming from the mop makes the mop almost look like a scythe. the previous streaks create an “X” shape on the floor. the person’s stance and expression suggest it is hard work. the scene is dark, the only light coming from the windows in the background, emphasising the early hour the title implies. /end ID]

This is how I feel describing most of my personal favorite characters.

My favorite quote from any movie critic ever is from Roger Ebert, who once said “The Borg Queen looks like no notion of sexy I have ever heard of, but inspires me to keep an open mind”

i thought this was a joke, but. uh. nope.

It feels taboo as a childfree person to admit this but I actually do have concerns about who is going to take care of me when I'm old. The elder care system in our nation relies A LOT on the unpaid care labor of adult children. I just don't think that's a good reason to have kids.

"But you'll have more money!" does not completely put this to rest for me. Neither does "Buy care insurance!" Even if I can afford direct personal care, who is going to advocate for me to get it? Who is going to navigate bureaucracy for me when I'm 80?

"If you do have kids, there's no GUARANTEE that they'll take care of you when your old!" That's true, but doesn't solve my problem.

I think childfree people get very defensive about this question because its used as a kind of "gotcha!" against us, but I actually do not feel we can afford to be in denial about this reality. Based on current trends of more people in their 30s stating they intend to be permanently childfree, we are going to see a huge wave of childfree adults hitting the eldercare system at once in a few decades. Childfree people in their 30s should be advocating around eldercare NOW.

We desperately need to cultivate a society in which everyone, even the most bitter, unlikeable, miserably lonely person in the world, has a social safety net that they can rely on from the day they're born to the day they die, and that includes their elder care.

We are not going to achieve this meaningfully under capitalism. :')

"But you'll have more money" PFFFFFT I live on SSDI I aint going to have shit and imma die in a state run care facility probably getting abused and neglected idk what planet some of y'all are on. Like, having kids would have given me a chance at having someone to help out. Not that I regret my decision, I super do not, but this is an area where the problem is very very real.
