@raglandwrites I went to a conference where the (male, childless) organiser put up a speaker to share their productivity hacks: the male, childless speaker said to get up, go straight to exercise, then breakfast, then work ... I asked where feeding the kiddos & school run fitted in - no reply!

@DANNYxSULLIVAN @Culture_Crit Yep last time I saw this posted someone pointed out that the flats which got ‘healed’ were lived in by ordinary families whereas the new version could only be afforded by the wealthy.
