I've often begun sentences with, "When I am Imperatrix Mundi..." about what I wish the state of the world to be. But what if I actually were Imperatrix Mundi, with practically unlimited governmental power? Why, I'd be a benevolent but not entirely reasonable dictator dictatrix. Here, in my beloved bullet form and in no particular order, is what it might be like:

  • Medical care for everyone who needs it - not to be confused with medical insurance. This includes mental health care. This of course includes trans-specific care. It also includes evidence-based addiction treatment, i.e. not twelve-step programs. Health insurance company executives shall be made into fertilizer. Mm, nitrogen.
  • House the homeless already. It's known to be cost-effective. Homeless folks with mental health or addiction issues can't make progress on them without - wait for it - a warm, dry place to sleep. ETA: And put them where rich people can't avoid seeing them.
  • Rape & domestic violence prevention will actually happen. I'm talking about law enforcement that actually does what it's already supposed to do, in addition to education efforts.
  • Any babymen - you know who I mean, the tantrum-tossers and anger addicts - remaining after the above will be given a choice: complete feminization or swift death. If everyone thinks you're a woman, tantrums are unlikely to get you what you want.
  • The Imperial Institute of Mad Scientist Ladies will be looking into eliminating the reproductive necessity for men. If they succeed, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
  • Something like the Advanced Placement curriculum would be the default for everybody, with the additions of media literacy, financial literacy, and basic statistics.
  • Speaking of media, anyone claiming to be providing news, or even widely perceived to be providing news, shall be under the following stricture: you lie, you die. And it will not be swift or humane.
  • This global warming shit? The IIMSL (See what I did there?) will be on it 24/7.
  • Gosh, lots of death in this list, but I will, of course, ban the murder machines: that's automatic or semi-automatic weapons and handguns. I don't have a problem with hunters.
  • Sex work will be decriminalized. To use the sex workers' language, this does not mean that they will be technically legal but placed in the control of corporate entities. This means that sex workers can make their own arrangements without fear of law enforcement action.
  • What WA and CO have done for cannabis I will do for MDMA and LSD. I'm honestly not sure where I stand yet on meth and opioids.
  • If you poison your neighbors through pollution, my henchpeople poison you.
  • My henchpeople will also trawl for racists. They'll be fish in a barrel, and they'll get gutted.
  • Queers shall be able to make out on any street corner on the planet unmolested.
  • There will be a dress code.
So vote [personal profile] sistawendy for Imperatrix Mundi! Oh wait, that's not how that works.

ETA: When I am Imperatrix Mundi, all the club nights and parties that I want to attend will be scheduled so that they do not conflict.
