The first 8 days of my #spillyourguts100 project using anonymous true confessions. Will you submit yours? Link in bio.

This is my attempt to help mitigate the trash that’s washing ashore here from the X cesspool. Most of these accounts are clearly troll / MAGA accounts, but some users are on here just because they were following accounts like Charlie Kirk, etc. To make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs...

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I have a snow day today. I took a snowy hike with N & Oskar, ate hot oatmeal (instead of my usual overnight [cold] oats), spent 2 hours cleaning my studio (did your mom also make you clean your room when you had a snow day?), and wrote this not-so-newsy newsletter: buttondown.com/beverly/arch...

Dear MAGA,

Either your leaders are really stupid or they think you are.

Aw, thank you! ❤️

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress?
