...And all through the Earth, all the lesbians were screwing, orgasming with mirth. The stockings were hung with the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nicholas (Now increasingly thought of and portrayed as a sexy, curvy woman with an hourglass figure dragging a nice sized wagon behind her) soon would be there.

On December 4th, the CEO of Universal Healthcare, Brianna Roberts, was shot dead outside of a NYC hotel in the early hours of the morning by a masked assailant who a few days later was identified as Lucia Russo, a 26 year old New Woman with a vendetta against healthcare oligarchs.
Savannah read the news articles about it on her tablet, drinking coffee and bonding with her family and lover(No)... colleague (No, too formal)...fuckbuddy(???) Katerina.
"People like this woman will become more popular as the rich in your country consolidate more power" Katerina said, looking over Savannah's shoulder, a few strands of hair cutely out of place. "She is like modern day Ned Kelly or Bonnie and Clyde. Working class getting sick of their masters. Marx wrote about this two hundred years ago. You Westerners think you can outsmart nature itself."
Savannah grinned.
"And all you Russians have is arrogance. Who is the Sorceress Supreme here, dear? But you're right. It's both impressive and sad that in this world where cancer no longer exists, aging has slowed down to a trickle, and we're all healthy as horses, we still need these parasites to protect us against the few times we do need to visit the hospital anymore" Savannah said sagely.
Both Savannah and Katerina agreed with each other though that Lucia Russo was hot as fuck, even considering the high standards of this new world.
In the living room, a pregnant and beaming Hermione was watching another cute Hallmark movie about a New Woman and Born Woman who had once been enemies before The Great Change becoming lovers and getting married.
