Dear Tomi

Please Stop Talking

Dear Tomi

Oh my how the cookie is crumbling, America. Donald Trump is the President of the United States of Conservatives, Tomi Lohren is still talking, and Bannon/Putin are running the show in America. Thankfully, in the small glimmer of good news that we the people received this week, is that Beyonce is pregnant with twins. I mean, honestly, if you are not screaming about this, please call your Uber and see yourself out.

While watching the Super Bowl (and at the time of writing this the Atlanta Falcons are kissing Patriot ass, which makes me a little deflated), I actively browsed Twitter. I mean, look, it is a late Sunday night, I’m sick, and Lady Gaga brought life to the LGBT+ community in a time where we are basically waiting for Trump and his small hands to sign an executive order that is the inspiration by a future Stonewall Inn like event.

Mark my words, it could happen. But while on Twitter, I came across a tweet from conservative “talk show” host Tomi Lohren, we reacted like quite the snowflake at the Audi commercial in this years Super Bowl that promoted the idea of gender equality, that women are equal to men.


Lohren, born and raised in a military family and a graduate of UNLV, shot back at Audi for having the balls to suggest women aren’t already equal to men. You know, just months after the most qualified female candidate for any elected position lost an election to an orange cheeto. Literally. According to Lohren, just because The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963, which means obviously, that every women gets paid the same amount of men.



Honey, I don’t know what alcohol you are drinking that makes you this delusional but you need to sober up. Women are non stop advocating on social media, in traditional media, in campaigns of all sizes that they do not get equal pay for equal work in comparison to their male peers. According to a study that you can find here, “…that in 2015, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 80 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 20 percent?...At the rate of change between 1960 and 2015, women are expected to reach pay equity with men in 2059.” So congratulations Tomi, in approximately 42 years we MAY have equal pay for women. God willing you won’t be on television then, but if by some unfortunate act of God you are, then at the very least I hope you get equal pay.

But seriously, I hope you are not on television by then.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
