Pandemic stage: Child eating a bowl of clem...
We are finally watching WandaVision and I got one of the offspring to watch with me
Thinking about Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie as 60s tv shows where extremely powerful magical women were partners to ad execs and astronauts
I dream of Jeanie had the element of “born sexy yesterday” trope
I follow an evolutionary psychologist who recently asked his followers if they had to pick a wife and mother for their future kids from movies who would they pick and an outsized number of the responses were born sexy yesterday characters
Leeloo, Olivia Wilde in tron 2 all featured heavily.
There is a male equivalent in pop culture...Tom hanks character in Big and Edward Scissorhands
The backstory of the Scarlet Witch is murky (check Wikipedia, it keeps changing!) but Vision is almost certainly Born Sexy Yesterday so....
Did the writers of wandavision completely perversely reverse the born sexy yesterday trope on purpose? By using a million old fashioned TV tropes?
Sometimes gender studies and pop culture is really interesting.

My favorite podcast voice has to be Laura Beil @LJBeil from Dr. Death.
lots of updates since I listened, so I’m restarting from the beginning. By myself, because it is too gruesome for the rest of the family. Chuckling at the idea of the hospital hiring a marketing guy for the new spine surgeon (they can’t run psychiatrists out fast enough)
Wonder if my dad heard this story when my mom was getting spinal surgery he asked me to research the doctor and dig up any dirt I could find. (Well trained surgeon and everything went great fortunately)

When I came downstairs my husband was watching Altered Carbon season 1...and can I just thank the nutritionist, chef, make-up and personal trainer on this show because everyone is so gorgeous.
Forgot how great this show was. Never watched season 2 because I was afraid it wouldn’t hold up.
There is a long drawn out Bond villain ending

Easter morning grooming
Usually Vanilla comes up around midnight and jumps up to sleep at the foot of the bed. Last night there was a whole pack of coyotes howling in the back and she slept curled up tight to my side after she was done barking at them.
I guess she feels snuggly Vanilla and the cat sleepin...

I can tell you there is almost no possibility all long Covid cases can be attributed to psychogenic factors. I know Alan likes to be kind and tolerant to discussion but GTFOOH
I see psychogenic physical symptoms all the time. I went to med school due to an interest in this, my supervisor in residency was a Harvard Professor due to his research as a world expert in psychogenic manifestations of illness.
I am referred complex cases specifically due to my expertise in this area.

We fired Cigna because they often refused to pay claims, and we would get checks from them for 4 cents interest on delayed payments of claims because they lost a lawsuit. They would spend 40 cents on a stamp to send us a 4 cent check.
Lordy I’m going to have to dig up my old bank statements cashing 4 cent checks when Cigna threatens to sue me for this tweet
Of course we cashed the checks we’re not made of money.

We are in a race with the virus, literally. It’s a matter of weeks of still being more careful.
Poland has a somewhat lower vaccination rate than the states and their more infectious (and probably deadlier) B117 is 52% not 40%...this is why I say it is literally a race
Not trying to fear monger...just saying opt out of maskless indoor meetings with 29 of your best friends for another 6 weeks, and anyone vulnerable who had not been vaccinated is probably facing some of the riskiest weeks of the pandemic besides the first month, so be careful.
