As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.
My father worked for the Pulse Polio program.

Realised this week (after 20+ years of writing) that I work better/get more immersed in a script if the dishwasher is running. Guess it’s the in-house domestic version of ‘pink noise’ / rainforest soundtracks some people use? #misophonia #writing #ASMR
