Oh, I have.

The ad campaign (with its unfortunate grammar/usage error*) for this vaccine came out right around the time my daughter turned 11. The doctor recommended it and I didn’t hesitate: YES. In fact, if the doctor hadn’t recommended it, I would have asked for it.

Clearly this is a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

Ugh, Shelton. I grew up there. Luckily my parents moved to a slightly less horrible Connecticut town before high school.

In the case of Hobby Lobby, I think (please do correct me when I’m wrong) that the company is self-insured. That is, they do not go through Blue Cross or Kaiser Permanente or whatever: they have Hobby Lobby Insurance Pool. Is that right?

I definitely have (unearned) thin privilege, and it's definitely not because I "eat right and exercise." I do neither, actually. And, you know, I never really thought about it. I had friends and family who struggled with weight, but I never knew what that was like. Every holiday party, at least one aunt or cousin…

We've never interacted much if at all, but I've always loved reading your stuff. Godspeed!

No shit? Wow!

Surprised me too, but there it is.
