Reine #30: Conversation Hearts

A design of candy hearts that say "split rent with me" and "be my emergency contact" and "retirement polycule" And then there are two friends sorting out the hearts, and they say that romance is dead because no one can afford it in capitalism. One friend says they will be a bachelorette forever because of disability benefit restrictions.

  1. I always thought that marrying for health insurance sounded like a good plan. But now mine would definitely be “Want 2 coparent?”

  2. “Can’t marry my partner because disability benefit restrictions” hits home lol. Because obviously if we were married, we would only eat as much as a person and a half, right? 🙄
