RANDOM REMINDER
house chores, errands, laundry, cooking, mowing, care-taking, repairs, schooling, all domestic activities are work and as such, LABOR.
there's so much talk about #tradwives these days, it bears repeating: #capitalism completely devalued the labor of housekeeping, turning it back to its original condition as a form of, if not slavery then, domestic servitude.
the Wealth of Nations is built on the Stolen Labor of Home keepers. yet another reason for #UBI and #Medicare4All
@blogdiva The estimated value of a homemaker’s services is about $180,000 per year
It was my job for 7+ years, and it’s a hard one. I miss it a lot… it can be very rewarding (which is another reason why it’s undervalued — you’re supposed to love it and you will be judged poorly if you don't)
