a thread of how marilyn monroe actually looked in real life, in honor of her 98th birthday

Shall we start by bringing back not having alarms on cheese and then work up from there?

Most surreal photos you'll ever see - thread 🧵 1. Eruption on Mount Etna gives the illusion of a Phoenix in the sky

If an employer went against an occupational health assessment to force you back to work, you would get your union onto them. And that's exactly what unions need to do when it comes to this - the worker, and only the worker, has the right to decide if they're well enough to work
