KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.
Japanese weather officials have declared Tokyo's cherry blossom season has begun. They checked the benchmark cherry tree on March 19 and found 61 flowers, marking the start of the season.

@vinted Hi there, I joined your platform on Saturday and today have been “permanently banned”. Please can you explain why? It appears your customer service doesn’t believe me about some trainers I’m selling. Permanently banning me seems a bit OTT
@Elizrael@TheAtlantic What a great article. How you were able to find moments of levity in the depths of such hell is astonishing. The bad guy strawberry vape smoke during your "immersive field study" - brilliant. Sending all the very best to you.
@JulieAMcDowall just started reading your excellent book - I can’t believe you watched Threads that young! I was a bit older than you during that era but remember being terrified all the time about nuclear bombs. Fun times 😱
