Here's another link that should work a few times: https://wapo.st/3DBKxTf (BTW, Anne, it's nice to see WaPo is figuring out where the value lies with its subscribers.)
The problem people are experiencing is that the Washington Post started requiring recipients of a gift link to register in order to access articles about six months back. It means that 90% or more of recipients who click through won't read the article.
This effectively blocks off a large chunk of the population from the news — which suits Bezos really nicely because people who don't access the news are much more likely to vote for Republicans.
Oh dear. I am Defcon Six level Anne Lamont devotee but cannot open the link without subscription. I know it is the usual treat for heart and soul. Thank you for your writing, it is good medicine.
Absolutely love your writing, but when Jeff Bezos blocked the Kamela Harris supported editorial, I was disgusted. I will never give WaPo my email. Bezos is another billionaire Trump supporting bro who only looks after himself and his interests; damn the consequences.
As a similarly-aged reader since your Hard Laughter (with erratum slip!), I was pleased to see your work made available on the WaPo platform in the last years. If you see this, Anne, take a moment to think about when the right time to say “no longer in the Post” might be. Your actions carry weight.

I’m rereading your books as an escape to sanity and calm.
