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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
