babes....they've planned a national MONTH of mourning for when she dies. all programming shifted to mourning the Queen, and god knows it'll be tory brainwashing.

a funeral costs around 12 million for a prince!! how much is it going to be for a Queen!! a new coronation's price???

the things this black hearted government will cut, or shove through parliament, under the guise of mourning?? the martyring???

energy bills are predicted to rise to £7700 ($8800) a year, do you understand how this can be twisted? inflation to 24%? they're already using the war in Ukraine as an excuse, but this??? gold mine for them.

What I am bothered about, amongst my joking reblogs and meming around, is the economic cost to us right now should she croak.

The last state funeral for a Queen was in 1901 for Queen Victoria. That funeral was... Huge. I can't find the cost of it anywhere online but wiki gives a breakdown of what what involved in it here. Her funeral also literally set the structure for subsequent state funerals which, of course it is. She even made it so the day of her funeral, the British public basically had to Stop Everything And Mourn. London came to a standstill for her funeral—something that has repeated with every state funeral since btw. The funerals of the last three ruling monarchs have followed the same pattern of Victoria's as well (Edward VII in 1910, of George V in 1936 and of George VI in 1952) aka:

Conveyance of the body to Westminster Hall. 

Lying in state in Westminster Hall. 

Conveyance of the body from Westminster Hall to Windsor. 

Funeral service and burial in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Alongside state funerals, Royals often have Ceremonial Funerals which they bear some of the cost of if they're not heads of state. Princess Diana and the Queen Mother both had Ceremonial Funerals when they died; since they were not born into the Royal Family and thus weren't eligible for state funerals when they died. Queen Elizabeth II however, is a ruling monarch, and thus is eligible for a state funeral... Which will be paid for by the tax payers not by the Windsor Family.

Back in 2002, the Ceremonial Funeral of the Queen Mother cost several million pounds (an estimate by the way) with the police coverage costing somewhere in the region of Two Million Pounds alone! With a state funeral... Well...

Winston Churchill's state funeral in 1965 cost something like £3 million in todays money. So yeah... And that was for a Prime Minister. Thatchers in 2013 cost around £3.6 million. Ruling monarchs are more expensive simply because they get a bit extra like a 21 gun salute instead of a 19 gun salute.

And, of course, Bank Holidays, month of mourning, etc etc...

So yeah.

He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.

I am absolutely fucking serious. The original meme, without the big red denial, is someone's attempt to fucking kill people.

There is NO SAFE DOSAGE of pennyroyal oil. Even Mother Earth News says there's no reason to use pennyroyal essential oil for ANYTHING, even topically or as a fragrance, for fuckssake! That should give you some idea about how dangerous it is!

Pennyroyal tea, plant matter in hot water, is a traditional abortifacient. It is *incredibly* dangerous, induces abortion by bringing the body close to organ failure (and frequently pushing the system right over the edge, because dosage is impossible to meter), but I would drink a gallon of it before I took a half-teaspoon of pennyroyal essential oil.

Two teaspoons, taken across 48 hours, has successfully killed someone.

Three teaspoons taken as a single dosage killed the consumer within THREE HOURS.

There is NO SAFE DOSAGE! FOR PENNYROYAL OIL INTERNALLY! NONE!

There is no antidote for pennyroyal oil poisoning.

Their stuff is cheap, they don’t really uphold their obligations for their productions; they’ve cheated numerous people out of their dice pledges and produced foggy, low quality dice — the dice making game has gotten so much better over the years and I have a list ( as a dice maker myself ) that you can support more independent and amazing dice makers!

DISPEL ( more bigger and mainstream but they have nice high quality dice with their own store opening late May 2022 )

GAMETEE ( they have all sorts of lovely stuff for table top in general, but a lot of beautiful themed, sharp edge and gemstone dice too! )

EVERYTHING DICE ( they’re about to have a Kickstarter for dice boxes and they have very beautiful sharp edge dice! )

JUICE BOX

KHOPPER DICE

SPELLCASTER DICE

ARTYDICE

THE DICE DJINN

DREAMYDICE

SLEIGHT OF HANDCRAFT ( they have dice commissions )

YANIIR ( less frequent updates, and more Patreon exclusive sales, but very beautiful high quality dice, jewelry, and tabletop accessories )

ALKONOST DICE

HELLA STRANGE DICE

DRUIDIC DICE

HADRIANS STALLAU

XOLOTL DICE

ASTRALNAUT DICE ( my dice work! I take requests in small batches and plan to make sets for sale soon! )

DARK ELF DICE (made my current fav dice which have little koi resin figures inside, theyre adorable)
