It's not a woman thing, though. It's just a her thing!
The first thing I need to make clear is that I love and support women. I am eager to see more women rise to positions of power. Hashtag pink wave! Hashtag pink hat!
But I have to say, I’m a little frustrated that we keep putting forward this specific woman who really grinds my gears. Not because she’s a woman. I would know if that were why. It is not that. It’s just — ugh, her, you know? She just doesn’t excite me, and I feel that she is too compromised. That’s not a woman thing, though. It’s just a her thing. I would have that issue with anyone who had her baggage, that same difficult-to-pin-down sense that something about her was fundamentally tainted.
But it is just this one woman in particular. And can I say how glad I am that we are at a point when we are able to judge women on their merits, as people, and find them inexplicably, inevitably wanting, as people? But definitely all women do not do this. There are plenty of women who do not make my teeth go on edge in the way this one lady does. My mother, for instance. My daughter, for another instance. And others I could name! Oprah, in her current capacity, though I hope she stays in her lane.
In general, I am excited to vote for a woman, maybe even in 2020, though I do, I have to say, worry that maybe other Americans are not so ready, and we wouldn’t want to make that mistake in a year with such high stakes. Not me — I was born ready! I was given birth to by a woman. So it’s clear where I stand.
That is why I am so frustrated with the specific women who keep being put forward. Like, Nancy Pelosi? I want women to lead everything! I want them to stare down charging bulls on Wall Street, and I can’t imagine anyone other than a lady being Wonder Woman, but — this is the House we’re talking about, and… ugh, Nancy Pelosi.
You see what I’m saying here. I am flabbergasted and upset that each and every one of the women being talked about as front-runners are the specific women who have already alienated me. I am as frustrated by this terrible coincidence as you are, believe me! Believe, women!
What I want is not impossible! I want someone who is not tainted by polarizing choices in the past, but who also has experience, who is knowledgeable but doesn’t sound like she is lecturing, someone vibrant but not green, someone dignified but not dowdy, passionate but not a yeller, precise but not mechanical, someone lacking in off-putting ambition but capable of asking for what she wants, not accompanied but not alone, in a day but not in a month or a year, when the moon is neither waxing nor waning, carrying a sieve full of water and a hen’s tooth. Easy!
That’s why I’m so worried about our current slate of choices. A woman, sure, but — Kamala Harris? Elizabeth Warren? Kirsten Gillibrand? There are specific problems with each of them, entirely personal to each of them, all insurmountable. We need someone fresh. Someone without baggage. Joe Biden, maybe. But female! If you see.
I can’t wait to vote for a woman in 2020. A nameless, shapeless, faceless woman I know nothing about who will surely be perfect.
Orange County, the California collection of 34 cities and 3.2 million residents described by President Reagan as where “all the good Republicans go to die,” died Tuesday. It was 128 years old.
“The death shocked everyone who hadn’t bothered to pay attention for decades.”
could u explain the whole john/roman/marlena love triangle/history? you seem to most about 80s dool haha
oooh boy ok i do know most of their history but not specifics like i do in my true major of study aka bo and hope but i’ll try my best!!
Okay so Roman and Marlena fell in love when Roman was assigned to protect Marlena from a serial killer. They were in love and raising Carrie and were happy BUT then Roman was framed to be a serial killer himself (when Marlena was pregnant with Sami and Eric rip) by Stefano. With the help of Bo and Abe and Eugene he cleared his name (it was Andre who was the killer but i digress)
Marlena popped out the twins and they were happy for like a month. Roman then set off to save Bo and Hope and other 80s characters no one cares about anymore except me bc their plane crashed on an island bc Andre hijacked the plane I think?? Anyway Roman and Stefano had a fight on the island on a cliff and Roman fell and died in Bo’s arm …BUT DID HE?
NAH BITCH HE’S BACK…kind of. A man in bandages shows up and new guy in town Victor Kiriakis has an interest in him….so he hires Bo’s stalker/ex bff Steve Johnson to watch over him. They call him the pawn or whatever and the pawn doesn’t know what the hell is going
eventually he’s out and about without bandages and now is the guy who calls himself John Black bc he saw the name on the Vietnam War Memorial plaque i think.
BUT fast forward to a lil while John and Marlena becomes besties but he’s a lil weird but she’s cool with it i guess. except she thinks he’s Stefano bc he has a phoenix tattoo but Marlena sees “proof” that Roman was surgically made to look like…John So then they go to an island or something i don’t remember but long story short John and Marlena like reunite on the island with Bo and Hope and Shane who followed them bc they thought John was Stefano. Also Russians were there bc Bo accidentally aided the Soviet Union but that’s a different storyline
Anyway John shows up now as Roman and everyone kind of accepts it kind of easily ?? lmao everyone but Carrie and Bo but they warm up to him and everyones happy till Marlena gets kidnapped by Orphesus. “Roman” rescues her and they’re happy for a week or two and then Marlena gets hit by a fucking plane.
“Roman” is depressed but goes on. He’s top cop he falls in love with a wonderful girl named Isabella and then bam! Marlena’s back but then bam! Roman’s back and then bam! I guess John Black is back??
Roman’s fucking pissed, John is depressed and having a crisis, Marlena is confused, Salem is confused, I’m confused
Well Marlena and Roman get together bc it’s the right thing or smth bc Roman’s life been fucking hell and also I THINK Isabella gets pregnant around this time and her and John marry
Isabella pops out lil Brady and they’re happy but John still a lil thirsty for Marlena but he has other problems bc Isabella is dying!! and then in the saddest dool scene ever Isabella dies in John’s arms. Yikes!! John Black can never win
Except he can!! him and marlena have sex on a plane and baby Belle is conceived. But everyone think it’s Roman baby bc Sami changed the results, Sami eventually kidnapped Belle (lol) and admitted to it all. Roman left and died again in 1997 but he came back it’s fine
anyway this is as best as i can explain this lol im sorry
