I don't think it's at all a coincidence that this is also Nurse's Week and all I'm getting on my timeline is more romantic bullshit about how "caring" and "compassionate" and "superhuman" nurses are--all while I have phone conversations across the nation with nurses who have nuclear-level PTSD on the level of combat veterans from COVID-19 and hospitals are STILL abusing the shit out of us.

Women and AFAB people are literally *not allowed* to have trauma, sadness, agony, pain, fatigue, needs WHATSOEVER. And I'm getting fucking tired of it. We need a general strike for those of us with uteruses--yesterday.
