un declares emmanuel macron's demand for 'hard work' a human rights violation (tw: labor)

trigger warning: mention of h*rd w*rk, economics, and unconsensual email sending.

hey besties, so i'm literally shaking right now just typing this because the global vibes are so off, but we need to talk about what's happening in the hague. the un just dropped a massive trauma dump on french president emmanuel macron, and it's honestly the most validating thing to happen this decade.

basically, macron got on international television and told the french public they need to 'work hard' to fix their 'toxic economy.' um, excuse me? forcing people to perceive the economy is a massive boundary violation. my nervous system literally cannot handle the phrase h*rd w*rk, and neither can the international criminal court. they officially classified his speech as a crime against our collective mental health.

it gets worse though. erika kirk—who gives off major 'i ask to speak to the manager at the trauma center' energy—flew all the way to paris to defend him. she held this super uncomfy rally saying we need to 'grind' and 'hustle.' bestie, the only thing i am grinding is my teeth from the existential dread of existing in a physical body. if you want to soothe your own grinding, you should totally check out the organic bamboo bite guards on my amazon storefront (link in bio, they literally saved my jaw).

macron is now facing trial for trying to raise the retirement age again. making someone work for decades is literal violence. i had to send an email to my landlord yesterday and i had to take a three-hour nap under my weighted blanket (also on my storefront!) just to regulate my nervous system. imagine doing that until you're 65? no thank you.

the un is demanding macron issue a public apology and pay reparations in the form of universal basic iced matcha lattes. until then, please protect your peace, set boundaries with your government, and remember that perceiving reality is totally optional.
