Prince Harry: My dad is a dick. My brother is a dick. They’re all dicks. D-I-C-K-S!

Since it's International WORKING Women's Day, just a reminder from your favorite union maid: there's quite possibly nothing more feminist you and your co-workers could do but get together and organize for a collective voice in your workplace. Under a union contract, you can negotiate an end to gender wage gap/gendered pay disparities, diversity in hiring, paid family leave policies and flexible scheduling that benefit caregiving women (not just mothers, but caregivers of family members too!), non discrimination clauses, grievance procedures that protect people who are harassed at work, the right to have a union rep with you in such situations, ETC. ETC. ETC. A woman's place is in her union, y'all! UNIONS FOR ALL.

I'm kidding. I need you know that I'm kidding. This is a joke.

“It still haunts me. It’s this photograph someone had sent me. We had to go to an official event at the Royal Albert Hall, and a friend said ‘I know you don’t look at pictures, but oh my god you guys look so great’ and sent it to me. I zoomed in, and what I saw was the truth of what that moment was, because right before we had to leave for that I had just had that conversation with Harry (asking for help/her suicidal thoughts) that morning. We had to go to this event and I remember him saying, ‘I don’t think you can go,’ and I said ‘I can’t be left alone.’ We went, and that picture, if you zoom in, what I see is how tightly his knuckles are gripped around mine. You can see the whites of our knuckles because we’re smiling and doing our job, but we’re both just trying to hold on. And every time those lights went down in that Royal box I was just weeping, and he was just gripping my hand.” - Meghan Markle

“Women don’t need to find a voice… they have a voice. They need to feel empowered to use it, and people need to be encouraged to listen.” - The Duchess of Sussex

“Being in Dagenham is incredibly profound. Because as you can see with Geraldine and the other women who had the strength to really stand up for something that they knew needed to be done. This is the best example of no matter how small you might feel, how low you may feel on the ladder or the totem pole, no matter what colour you are, no matter what gender you are, you have a voice, and you certainly have the right to speak up for what is right.” - The Duchess of Sussex
