Another installment in is it #MAGA or the #Onion (or #Portlandia): "Casey Means, a “wellness” influencer President Donald #Trump nominated to be surgeon general on Kennedy’s recommendation, has rejected pasteurization requirements. Instead, she has argued that women should “form a relationship with a local farmer, understand his integrity, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide” if the milk is safe."

Prices at #Disney, company that supports #fascism, depending on the day you go range from ~$100 to ~$200 per day. Parking is $35.00.

#3GoodThings (the California edition) 1. Watched Tropic Thunder with kid. 2. Took BART to SFO -- easy-peasy. 3. My husband took good care of garden while I was away and the plants made it; in fact, the alyssum looks even better than when I left.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes and the impossibility of understanding your healthcare plan (if you are fortunate enough to have one). #MedicalSlogansOrMottos #HashTagGames

#3GoodThings 1. Power point ready to go for a Zoom talk I'm giving on Fri (I'll post the link when I get it) as part of a series on SDGs (Sustainability Development Goals). Mine is on SDG8, which is about work and, of course, Moby-Dick plays a prominent role! 2. Started working on a Shirley Jackson paper for PAMLA (Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association). 3. Thinking about my gardening memoir. Surrounding flowers w/rocks is a new aesthetic for me.

"In 1954, national testing began on 1 million children, ages 6-9, who became known as the Polio Pioneers. On 4.12.55, the results were announced: the vaccine was safe & effective. In the 2 yrs before the vaccine was widely available, the average # of polio cases in the U.S. was more than 45,000. By 1962, that # had dropped to 910. . . . #Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any $ from his discovery, preferring it be distributed as widely as possible." https://www.salk.edu/about/history-of-salk/jonas-salk/ #RFK #USPol
