Infinite Life at Altantic Theater

Did they kiss?

No. Sofi (Kirk) and Nelson (Simpson) did not kiss, although there was a proposal of kissing that was not taken up on because Sofi likes to get to the airport really early. However, there were some dirty messages left and some very specific declarations of characters' desires. The other characters did not appear to be romantically or sexually interested in each other, although one could argue the ladies shared an intimacy of a different kind.

Should they have?

No, it was good that they didn't kiss. The relationship between Sofi and Nelson is not about personal connection and more a way to explore desire, and at least for Sofi, desire is a way that she attempts to have some control over a body that feels like it controls her, to give pleasure to a body that is filled with pain. So for her to have control in the last moments of the play to say no to the proposed tete-a-tete, as tempted as she was, felt important to witness. Also, it really is so important to get to the airport early. Sofi does ask for and recieve a picture of Nelson's colonoscopy which, weirdly, did feel like a consumation of their "relationship".

The most intimate moment in the play was when Sofi lifted Eileen's (Burke) legs to give Eileen a moment free from pain. That was very tender, sweet, and simple, like the best kisses are.

Infinite Life written by Annie Baker directed by James Macdonald produced by the Atlantic Theater and the National Theatre (UK) starring Marylouise Burke, Mia Katigbak, Christina Kirk, Kristine Nielsen, Brenda Pressley, Pete Simpson Infinite Life runs at the Linda Gross Theater from August 18 – October 8, 2023.

Usa, deputata risponde con una poesia alle offese razziste di Trump: “Puoi spararmi con le parole, ma io mi solleverò” Di Marco Nepi “Puoi spararmi con le tue parole, puoi tagliarmi coi tuoi occhi, puoi uccidermi con il tuo odio, ma ancora, come l’aria, mi solleverò” Una poesia su Twitter per rispondere alle offese razziste di Donald Trump: lo ha fatto Ilhan Omar, deputata Usa, rifugiata dalla Somalia e americana dal 2000, presa di mira dal presidente per le sue origini e invitata ad abbandonare il Paese. Omar, nata a Mogadiscio nel 1981, scappata all’età di 10 anni con la famiglia dalla guerra civile, è una delle quattro deputate americane che l’inquilino della Casa Bianca ha definito anti-americane invitandole a tornare “nei paesi corrotti e infestati dal crimine da cui sono venute”. Insieme a lei Trump ha preso di mira anche Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley. ...I sostenitori di Trump durante un comizio in North Carolina, rivolgendosi proprio a Ilhan Omar, e proprio su invito del presidente a “farsi sentire”, hanno urlato di “rimandarla indietro”. Così lei, la deputata, ha deciso di replicare con i versi della poetessa afroamericana Maya Angelou. Quella della deputata è la storia dei rifugiati che riescono a rialzarsi dopo anni di sofferenze. La famiglia di Omar arrivò negli Usa nel 1995. Nel 2000, a 19 anni, lei divenne cittadina americana. Ma la convivenza nel nuovo Paese non fu semplice inizialmente. Da ragazza è stata vittima di bullismo per il suo hijab. Negli anni ha ottenuto il suo riscatto, con lo studio e l’impegno civile. Nel 2016 è diventata, con l’elezione alla Camera dei rappresentanti del Minnesota, la prima donna di origini somale musulmana eletta in una carica negli Usa. Ora è amatissima. E seguitissima.

Nancy "Jo" Morris

Nancy Josephine Morris, 89, fondly known as Jo to all of her friends and family, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 23, 2019 after a lengthy illness. Jo was born on July 24, 1930 in Charlotte, NC and was the daughter of the late William Cyrus and Mamie Hagler Long. She was a loving and devoted wife of 63 years and was predeceased by the love of her life, Dowd Wilson Morris on February 24, 2015, and her daughter, Denise Ann Morris, on September 30, 1984. She began her banking career in 1950 at Wachovia Bank in Charlotte, North Carolina. While she enjoyed having a career, a move to Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1964 focused her attention on raising her family. This role as wife and mother was her greatest joy. By nature, she was a nurturer and a caretaker, and always served her daughters and husband with great love. She took immense pleasure in sharing her passion for cooking, especially baking with the people she cared about. Her favorite pastime was hosting others. This is the way she showed her love. She had the ability to care for and love those around her by welcoming them into her home. She will be remembered by all who knew her as a loving, caring, and nurturing wife, mother, and friend. She is survived by her daughter, Donna Morris, son-in-law, Lothrop Morris, and granddaughters Emery and Rowan Morris of Palm Beach, Florida. She is also survived by her sister Betty Kabas of Greenville, South Carolina. The family wishes to thank Eden Terrace Assisted Living for the compassionate care they extended to Jo. A special thanks to Becky Allen of Integrys Caregiving, Hospice Care of South Carolina, and especially to Rena Huskey who was her true friend and guardian angel for the last 5 years. They would also like to express their deepest gratitude to the amazing caregivers that have helped Jo over the years: Ginger Bowen, Annie Littlejohn, Bridget Smith, Eva Brown, Dianna Floyd, and Teretha Pressley. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date at the Reserve at Lake Keowee, Sunset, South Carolina. Floyd’s North Church Street Chapel from The JF Floyd Mortuary via Spartanburg Funeral

Trump contro deputate democratiche, è guerra di tweet

Per il presidente #Trump se non ti chiami John Smith non puoi esprimerti sul suo #governo

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez di New York, Rashida Tlaib del Michigan (prima donna islamica a venire eletta al Congresso), Ayanna Pressley del Massachussets e Ilhan Omar del Minnesota, nata a Mogadiscio e giunta negli Stati Uniti a 10 anni, di cui è ufficialmente cittadina: queste sono le quattro donne esponenti della sinistra al centro delle polemiche del presidente degli USA.

Welcome to our Election Update for Thursday, Oct. 25! Democrats currently have a 5 in 6 chance (84 percent) to flip the House. That’s a little lower than Monday’s mark of 87 percent. Their average gain is 38 seats.

Many of those gains will be because of women. Women appear poised to vote for Democrats in record numbers this year, and many of the candidates themselves are women. The 116th Congress could have a record number of female legislators; at present, the historical high-water mark is the 107 women (84 in the House, 23 in the Senate) currently serving in the 115th Congress.

Our model agrees that it’s likely that a historic number of women will serve in the next Congress, but how many female legislators can we expect? Using gender data that we collected with Ballotpedia earlier this year, we identified 238 women from major parties (186 Democrats, 52 Republicans) running for the House. Then, using our House forecast,1 we compiled a list that’s impressive for its length: all the women favored to win2 a House seat this year.

The races with a chance of winning at 100 percent are uncontested.

Source: Ballotpedia

If every woman currently leading a district were to end up winning, there would be 100 women in the House, plus 24 in the Senate.3 That totals 124 women in Congress, which easily blows past the current count of 107.

But this kind of seat gain isn’t guaranteed. Women could gain dozens of seats — but they might also add only a handful. For example, say we limit our forecast data to women with 3 in 4 chances of winning or better; there would be only 115 women in the next Congress. That would still be a historic high, with 92 female representatives compared with 84, but it would mean no gains for women in the Senate4 and only eight more seats overall. On the other hand, let’s assume that every woman with at least a 1 in 4 chance ends up prevailing. In this more optimistic scenario for women, there could be 120 congresswomen and 26 female senators on Jan. 3, 2019. That total of 146 women would be a 36 percent increase over the current number — but it’s worth noting that, even under this scenario, Congress would still be nowhere near gender parity.

As my colleague Perry Bacon Jr. has written, progress in electing more women to Congress has come mostly on the Democratic side of the aisle. As you can see in the chart below, the number of Republican women in Congress has plateaued since the 1990s (when the first “Year of the Woman” in 1992 was also Democrat-fueled), while Democratic women have made steady gains even as the number of Democratic men has shrunk.

Our forecast suggests that trend will continue: Assuming all 100 forecast leaders win their House races, 83 of the next session’s congresswomen will be Democrats, compared with just 17 who will be Republicans. Currently, of the 84 total congresswomen, there are 61 Democrats and 23 Republicans; that means that the gain would be among Democratic women, while the number of Republican women would actually decrease. If our model is correct, the ratio of Democratic congresswomen to Republican congresswomen will the be highest it has ever been.
