Meet meet Merry Mary Mary Hail Mary .. Hail to the Cictors hopefully we really are The Leaders and the Best (at Michigan Football) and for once this year, 2024 in Pasadena, CA, at the Rose Bowl, but I’m not at Mass unless it’s an Author Reading at and my secret Adara star name is Yed, or hand, meaning I can’t help but stick my nose🤧🤥🐽👃🥸🚅👌🤭🤞🤙🤘🖖🫰🫢👫 in all sorts of political and university and Latin and Greek texts by the Jokers and the Prankers and the Clowns and the Class Clowns, some of which haves lived in my luxury condo while I was in Beverly Hills in 2019 shopping on Rodeo Drive which is no Wrangler National Finals Rodeo but a shopping mecca where young women wait on you like a queen and suggest you buy Escada, a German luxury brand, leather pants and a silk blouse (that I will immediately stain as it’s mostly white and pink and Lord, that dry cleaning bill) and on sale they are $1500 and originally $3,000… and I told my Long Beach welder 🧑‍🏭 who I met in in Phoenix… he’s an Irish immigrant from Northern Ireland who may or may not have been joking when he said all his remaining Northern Irish relatives in Ireland are in prison for being IRA bombers in the Troubles there… and one holiday he suggested I watch a PBS series on the Troubles there … and President Clinton had maybe something to do declaring that the Troubles were now over, but because of frequent done by this founder of the Secret (political) Society of Badass Blondes, first, then all folks with a P***y or in a Diversity Equity or Inclusion (DEI) group using, their brains, pu***es, c***s, etc ge****ls to misbehave with firefighters, cops, veterans, badass blondes, brunettes, Beyounce, Madonna - The Celebration Tour and and gay hairdressers and founder and some nasty friends like that social worker Kristy Frieden and the Republican and Democrats of the Red Rocks in the Easy Valley and Sedona and a housewife or two and Jackie, Sister of Perpetual Servitude to the (Firefighters, cops, veterans of the Military Settler Colonialist) Patriarchy and and and and and all the fire marshals, AED-CPR trainees, important against what Britney Spears warned about in her song and her song about the Holy Trinity or that song 3 that her song about a made me think of whose now a billionaire like a “Tricky Dick pic sender” Jeff Bezos and his fiance or wife, a sexy LatinxXOXOXO, who probably doesn’t drive the paramedics choice the or and Lauren Sanchez, left her Hollywood based media talent agency husband for Bezos who, according to possibly fake news reports, bought her a yacht for an engagement gift, and the news media didn’t say what it’s name was, but I am sure it’s called: p2 or 🐈🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🙀😹😹😹😿😻 and something is fishy at my Tempe apartment as I had to ask half the complex and then a guy if he knew where Apartment P259 was. Hmmm🤔🤔🤨🧐🤔🤔🤔 there is no building P but the apartment leasing staff, all Latinas including Alejandra very similar to my Alejandro in my screenplay, a Hit Hit 🥵 firefighter AED-CPR trainer, and I tell everyone my age, despite my friend or DeDe telling me a woman who will tell her age will tell everything… Well, as all my Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram multiple accounts and of Arizona, a bipartisan group know, I write novel length posts on social media as i am told nobody reads but ASU staff, librarians and independent Changing Hands Bookstore patrons, writers and ,

12/12/2023

Follow Yassamin Ansari she’s running for Congress for the seat vacated by Ruben Gallego, who is running against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and I am voting for the women in these races and will probably vote Republican for the presidency, possibly Nikki Haley, unless the Biden-Harris ticket fixed the Airline industry that screws all the nation’s travelers when they travel on holidays to be with their friends and families; fixes Obamacare that is ridiculously expensive for most Americans who don’t qualify for the subsidies, and American voters deserve the kind of healthcare that the federal government employees and the old men in Congress and the Presidents and all those out of touch, uneducated President-Trump and other Republican presidents appointed because of their skin color or gender or fake religion or knowing that they would be quiet, well behaved blacks or women, yet they are just greedy liars, lawyers and justices who are not public servants but enrichment specialists. That’s why I’m voting No! on any judge on any ticket, and I am only voting for and and and hope once again as I have for almost my entire voting life funded, promoted with boots on the ground, sweat equity, time, money when I was poor… the Democrats but our hospitals even the nonprofit ones are completely messed up and understaffed — just like the US Airlines on holidays and their CEOs of these companies are getting bonuses and insane salaries for doing a crap, f’d up jobs of — like the wealthy feds who keep pleading for our declining paychecks under rising gas, taxes, mortgages, buying power… well, Americans are fed up, fed up with being well-behaved and quiet about a completely useless justice system that mostly and perhaps it was designed by our US Founders who were, of course, wealthy white privileged slave owners and women were beaten, abused in private, treated like property of men, enslaved with domestic duties unless they had lots of money to buy hired helpers and no birth control so forced to be “baby breeders” and the blacks, indigenous and people of color and economically disadvantaged… well so many men And especially women were just treated like crap. But folks, as the late Cowgirl from Arizona, Sandra Day O'Connor Institute For American Democracy discovered after she left the US Supreme Court to care for her Irish American husband with Alzheimer’s.. just as I did in 2020 to care for my Dad, Ralph Young, another Irish American but a social worker, not a lawyer like the O’Connors, who became lawyers not to enrich themselves but to reform the corrupt, discriminatory and sick US justice system, but, like my Dad, who drank too much and gobbled down toxic foods to relieve the stresses of trying to save all the women, blacks, indigenous, people of color and economically disadvantaged and marginalized communities, like the one he grew up into in Detroit, Michigan where he found how corrupt universities were only catering to rich New Yorkers, rich people from the suburbs of Michigan and Illinois and, of course, Los Angeles and lots of California students and all the mostly Republican donors or rich Beverly Hills or Manhattan donors who have increasingly funded US universities as the State governments— both Republicans and Democrats afraid of not being re-elected by voters if they gave more money to universities hiring mostly liberals as they have paid their highly educated and intelligent staff like me, a genius, who has throughout my life scared other women as I have never behaved like a “good, quiet, well behaved girl or boy or human” and that frightens in particular smart, well behaved in public but greedy and nasty in private or hurtful to those closest to them, as they are angry about failing to achieve their dreams of a better future for their kids, for themselves and American society generally…and so a record number of people - voters, black and white, brown and Chinese, indigenous and economically disadvantaged or formerly poor, good police trying to reform a toxic justice system from within as First Responders, just like the good nurses and doctors on the Frontlines, the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus and the leaders of the ASU Library and the ASU State Press and the administration and President Michael Crow and ASU PR Media& Publication and the great and accomplished students who are afraid of the toxic, hostile environment and nation and US Congress and US Court systems they need to transform by voting and reforming the systems from within but our climate, particularly in Arizona as this state is like a First Responder in the climate crisis as we’re literally as one of my favorite songs says “Burning Down the House” with our toxic institutions by literally leaving our poorest citizens—completely marginalized and likely too busy trying not to burn 🔥🔥🔥up and die in a city that’s getting Hot Hot and Hotter every summer and even our winters are Hit Hot 🥵— and the First Responders, especially the heroes like the and the Yassamin Ansari doing her best to fix everything and getting some minimal help from who looks like he wants to die, but due to his great name recognition and voters not liking to vote for anyone they don’t really know too well -and that not just Democrats but also Republicans— newspapers cost money we don’t have these days paying for gas and groceries that keeps rising more than our annual pay increases and having to drive a lot as we can’t afford to live close to our jobs or we work in toxic cities full of homeless people continually assaulting me at gas stations so that even when they are just asking for help from an obviously rich person who has money to spare, I forget that the homeless and mentally ill are more of a danger to themselves than others… but sometimes the criminals are hiding among the homeless, killing innocent and generous people like me, an entertainment entrepreneur, actress, activist, part of a group of Comedy or Improv performers for social justice of Arizona, a bipartisan g Improv performers for social justice of Arizona, a bipartisan group that is going national with blue collar men, feminists, expert Jewish TV executives and screenwriters like my and the fabulous football players, temporary Michigan coach and the member and myself an member — and told us they needed leaders, not honorary leadership society members selected in an elitist university system but as the late great leader and founder told us leaders: If you’re going to change the nation’s messed up justice system, the toxic war machines of the historical colonialism that is the CIA, FBI, Pentagon etc, fight sexism, racism, elitism, classism etc, you’re going to have to engage the youth at US Universities to vote out the bastards, and to do that your going to have to work within the US University system that is also corrupt and toxic, if there’s any hope for a better future, nation or world… but I was at ASU and while it’s doing a great job with its students and making college affordable, it’s enslaving and abusing like a battered woman, like a black man shot by a toxic masculinity culture in the police and fire departments that are naturally run and staffed by men due to their superior physical qualities just as women work in the low-wage university system as do nurses work in the embattled hospital systems and try to fix everything while the hospital system is run by a clueless, highly paid male CEO who has all the power… and it’s the same at my family’s Catholic Church where nuns do all the work and there’s some good priests trying to reform the system within and the Franciscan branch of the Catholic Church is more accepting of g**s and the LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community and its LA-based nuns are awesome leaders, but like President Crow and his they are living out of touch in rich areas surrounded by the highest percentage of materialists and out of touch with poor students, families etc and the rich will corrupt you with materialist values which many but not all are beat down feds who have given up trying to do good and go on vacation or if they are writers and intellectual people… they have to go live abroad like black singers Tina Turner or James Baldwin or me, I just want to go back to Paris, go to Pere La Chaise (sp??, no longer speak French much and wish I had 15 years of Spanish that I could actually use now) Cemetery in front of grave and party with his fans there, asking them: How can we save the great American singers from killing themselves as Morrison and ??? Then, I would read a gay author’s Changing Hands Bookstore perhaps and his book about growing up as a gay Asian man in Detroit, where and my late father grew up, but while Eminem almost killed himself with and and grew up in a fatherless home with an addict Mom raising him and no real decent role models to help him live, let’s hope as a survivor of the Ghetto of Detroit and Toxic Masculinity Culture that he, the good realtors like and of Phoenix and the brilliant educator and leader and her outstanding books trying to reform toxic corporate and university systems and the librarians at and all universities and all public libraries nationwide can get people to read, think critically and

On the death of my heroine Sandra Day O'Connor Institute For American Democracy I would like to share that former ASU Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication Dean Christopher Callahan, both of us award-winning political and investigative journalists, treated with disrespect by ASU PR Media& Publication or brand marketing hub or or or at the time its marketing hub leader. I for posting that contrary to the new phx law school on the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus Nov. 2 wasn’t the next election date to be promoted as civics program’s engagement press release for the new ASU Law School all were touring that day, nor has it been since they made a single voting date for all federal elections. So I posted Nov. 4 is the actual date, but the highly paid ASU marketing staff and its editing staff aren’t apparently engaged with the state, local or federal government so don’t know the federal date to vote — on my social injustice Social Media Accounts that Callahan had helped educate me and so many ASU students, staff and faculty about in the monthly speakers series featuring the nation’s top journalists or former journalists like me, yes I worked at almost 20 years and applied for and jobs but didn’t always mention all my powerful and accomplished Michigan Daily Alumni , and and or local, state and federal political friends or thousands of social media followers or how many key donations I made to women, indigenous and all people of color Democratic Party leaders over some 50 plus years of life on this planet… and now like my other heroine, ASU School of Social Work Alum, I have become an Independent at age 59, but Independents can’t vote in presipresidential preference primaries. Thus, soon I will register as a Republican like and try to and them all on my own or perhaps a bunch as I already am well aware of many students of color and once poor Democratic donors and activists and immigrants and once BIPOC donors and voters and activists and intellectuals like me and even some and who are voting or in the upcoming federal elections to make the greatest difference and most certainly at Elections overseen by my friend, ally and second in command of Arizona behind my longtime legislator to whom I have more often than not financially even when I couldn’t afford it and promoted on my social justice social media and Comedy or Improv performers for social justice of Arizona, a bipartisan g and improv comes website and performances and my Tempe Improv's New Faces of Comedy performance in 2019 that received rave reviews from my ASU Library at DTPC in and and and and where I have shared my shows-improv comedy material from a feminist and also non-feminist but always social justice minded as a formerly poor social worker and psychologist daughter perspective: and and on Instagram and Jacqueline (Jackie)Young on LinkedIn thanks to a firefighter-paramedic from who taught me the power of and that I had somehow forgotten despite growing up in the home of the great union that boosted all other great unions in and and at and and I became for a time until my Late father Ralph Young, who grew up in Detroit in the same area as and made me watch that movie and now I ❤️ the music of that first white male rapper almost as much as I like the first female rapper and serving as its lead media relations spokesperson before my Dad needed my care as like and her husband he had and died in 2022 of and that year my union and social media teacher was layed off suddenly from his job after 25 some years with little notice and I found out later that year in my training course that I passed, completed and discovered my leadership style was very rare and that it’s the same one shared by who seems to have overseen a major shakeup of the department as its required safety training website didn’t work, no one seemed anymore to check our library fire extinguishers or safety protocols or or care about the safety of us in a window-less basement library… I asked the and leadership trainer and she said to ignore the ASU safety training part of the course due to the shakeup in that department that apparently hadn’t in like more than 7 months and by Nov. 1, 2023 been fully addressed and I retired from feeling exhausted at trying to tell leadership with huge salaries and mostly all men how to keep myself and others safe from physical and emotional harm in what I now realized thanks to my kind and caring former and former spokesman and ASU Safety Team members had previously warned me was an unsafe and an outside ASULibrary black female activist librarian had previously concluded ASU Library was a particularly for that ASU Fire Marshal-Firefighter-Paramedic, me, all who used all and particularly those in categories like me, the fire marshal and many and and that’s why I had served on yet no progress there, fought for reform from within by helping spread word of the power of the great to transform and and help my at the time single Irish Catholic relative Shelagh and others in my home state and now her fabulous and handsome husband Jeremy Morse of the
