I need to do better about coming here instead of that awful bird app, so popping by just to say I’ve discovered the delight that is vermouth and bourbon in root beer. Cheers

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’m not sure what cosmic deity is out there or what I did to them to have this amazing reoccurring “joke” where everywhere I go, every job I’ve had, people are constantly calling me Melissa instead of Michelle. And I mean like moments after I tell them my name. Kind of hilarious tbh

Well I’m currently in a soul-sucking finance job but I’ve been low key dying to work with animals my whole life, so I took a leap of faith and just got offered a position as a dog groomer trainee!! On paper it’s a wild move but it makes my heart happy
