#Betty Farrington

[huntinclowns2024]

Following our inquiry, we discovered that Melissa May Farrington, an American, is the owner of the troll account Clown Hunter, which has the @Clown22500580 handle and targets black individuals and minorities. An elderly white woman runs who runs the clown troll account was born in 1956.

Farrington has assumed the identity of a predator for her troll account. A monster that resembles a clown. She has a very large nose in real life that resembles a vacuum cleaner. Suggesting that AI was utilized to synchronize her real face with the clown's.

A social media post that we came across claims that she used to be a Betty Boop impersonator in her younger years. As of 2020 she is a clown and lives in a circus tent according to her bio on social media.

She might delete her hate account but we have archived it and most of her posts.

It is said on her anonymous troll account that she is an attack dog. She lacks intelligence because she most likely didn't know that pestering others online could have negative effects. Most likely, May Farrington is a narcissist. Because of her narcissistic nature, she is likely to believe herself to be the victim when she learns that she has been unmasked.

She is hardly a victim because, in actuality, she has been intimidating others on social media for the entire time. Like she's got the right to. however, she was unaware that she had left a digital paper trail.

Although Farrington is from Tacoma, Washington, she poses as British and uses a fake British persona. This is a symptom of Asperger's or autism. People who have those conditions usually do not harass people online.

Upon investigating, we discovered that someone Farrington had bullied online had claimed that Farrington suffers from Asperger's condition. That still does not justify what Farrington does on social media.

MissMay03, LadyMay, and MissMay03US are the troll's other aliases.

https://www.youtube.com/@missmay03ushttps://www.flickr.com/photos/missmay03/

We are merely alerting. In order for people who have been targeted to know who is behind the account. So if she harasses or bullies someone under the guise of anon, people can face her directly.

Farrington has harassed more than 100 people on social media, but she hasn't singled out one person. This is a result of no one finding out what she has to say. Rather, she made the decision to turn into a troll and spread hate. This is a meant to be an intelligent individual. It appears that she is not a particularly kind person.

We made the decision to identify the owner of this hate account. A white American woman in digital blackface is the person behind the clown troll account.

She frequently cites her non-white ethnicity as an explanation. She is obviously a white woman, though. Additionally, she makes fun of her employment by claiming that her employer will never be aware of her social media activity. She works for a company as a writer but is also self employed.

Since the troll had been harassing individuals for more than three years under the alias, we decided to get all of her information in order to identify who she was. She uses numerous social media accounts. She possesses more than only Clown Hunter. We thus tracked her online whereabouts.

She foolishly used her own identity in the email she used to harass individuals. We used third-party search engines to perform a reverse search. And during a search, she surfaced. Regarding this person, some information has already been posted.

At first, we weren't sure if the two people were the same. But it was proven when we noticed that she had posted frequently posted anti Betty Boop posts. Her primary posts consistently express her dislike for Betty Boop's race as a black woman.

Farrington dislikes Betty Boop essentially. Helen Kane, her Facebook profile, is similar to Betty Boop in certain ways. She does not like the other Betty Boop, despite her fondness for the first. She seems to have an interest in a real life Betty Boop.

Farrington hunts for what she thinks are clowns. However people she hunts are random people who have no idea who she is. So she is technically harassing random people that she does not know.

By bothering others, she is attempting to control what they share and what they don't. The majority of people choose to ignore her and go on. She anticipates getting into arguments with strangers on social media. May doesn't seem to have a personal life, a family, or pals.

Farrington never succeeded in her attempts to be a scholar. She went to Technical College at Clover Park.

Her account, now known as X, is used to harass and abuse black people on Twitter. She is a graphic designer with extensive Photoshop knowledge. She writes for Radio Tacoma as well.

She oversees multiple Helen Kane webpages. She assisted by a gang of people who all joined in 2020 to torment others. The individuals are elderly people from in her group.

Farrington is likely mentally ill and paranoid. She would not be hiding if she didn't believe she was at fault.

If anybody has experienced harassment from Tacoma, Washington's May Farrington on any of her troll accounts. Farrington also runs other troll accounts, including several on YouTube. She is insane in addition to being racist.

A thorough background check was conducted on the male and female residents of Farrington's home, and the results were alarming. She ought to think about her own life and the lives of others around her before harassing others.

  Ruth (Allison Brie) in a fantasy GLOW match in Sam’s (Marc Maron) head.

GLOW is very much like an action movie. When there is fighting you are engaged and kind of like “Wow, look at them.” However, when the leads start talking about their problems, you begin to understand why Netflix is probably the only company which would greenlight something like this.

Summary

It’s the 80s and women still have to fight for a decent role. That is, unless they are satisfied being the woman behind the man, at a desk, or the wife. Something Ruth (Alison Brie) isn’t really trying to be. She wants to be in front, the strong role and flourishing. But local casting agent Mallory (Amy Farrington) doesn’t see her for that. In fact, she only lets her audition to show directors they don’t want real women like her.

Enter Sam (Marc Maron) and his eccentric producer Sebastian (Chris Lowell). They plan on creating a wrestling show: GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) and Ruth wants in. Thing is, Ruth is the thespian type and this gets on Sam’s nerves. But with time, he sees her as an asset. For if there is one thing Ruth does more than the rest of the girls is observe. She partakes in learning the wrestling moves as well, but also observes what Sam does and eventually becomes someone he can lean on. Especially as the drama of the ladies unfolds.

Now, being that there are a lot of minor characters who the show gives not one care about, we’ll just cover the major ones. First and foremost is Debbie (Betty Gilpin), who Sam makes into his star. After all, she is blonde, tall, thin, and it is the 80s. Pretty much that is a go to. Alongside her is Cherry (Sydelle Noel), who has worked with Sam for years, and even slept with him once. She also holds Sam down as he tries to figure out what the hell to do with all these untrained women.

Lastly, there is Carmen (Britney Young). Someone who stands out the most of the unknown actors since she is given an actual storyline which develops. She begins as perhaps the most skilled thanks to her father being a famous wrestler. However, between her father calling women’s wrestling a joke and her chickening out of her first match, it seems like the dream may never be realized. But, when the cameras are rolling she steps up and has the type of triumph which almost shadows the two actors whose names you probably know.

Leaving us, ultimately, with a show about maybe a dozen or so women of which less than half get developed. Yet, through stunts, many of them got trained on the job for, you are left something decent. Not a show you could imagine any other network fighting for the rights over, but it’s okay.

Highlights

You Have To Give Props To The Actresses When It Comes to The Stunts

As part of being on this show, the actresses had to do their own stunts. These people who probably worked out just because they are in a sexist industry, now had to up their game to be able to safely fight another person. Can you imagine that? Having a grown ass woman, from a top rope, lunge herself at you? Having to hit a hard, barely giving, canvas again and again? Much less, then do your line and still emote?

I mean, I may not have been fond of the show and whined throughout the experience, but props are due.

It Has a Handful of Comical Moments

Arthie (Sunita Mani) giving Justine (Britt Baron) some alone time with her pizza delivery guy crush.

Though the majority of the cast, meaning anyone whose name wasn’t Marc, Alison, or Betty, weren’t paid mind too much, they made the most of it. Mostly in the form of being the comedic element of the show. Tammé (Kia Stevens) is perhaps the prime example for her character was the “Welfare Queen.” An offensive stereotype, yes, but wrestler turned actress Stevens makes the most of it. Arguably not necessarily making this into a breakout role for her, but definitely something which should lead to more work.

Low Points

It Neglects The Majority of Its Cast

Something which, for two characters, gets answered.

One could argue Alison Brie is very likable. She usually has a certain presence and wit about her. That is stripped of her for this program and she challenges herself. Something which requires a bit of getting used to and it may not really click to the end. But, unfortunately, you are forced fed her, Maron, and Gilpin whether you like it or not.

For, when it comes to the rest of the ladies of GLOW? This show goes by the Netflix model of Quantity over quality. Which isn’t to imply the actresses are bad. More so, enough were hired to make a full wrestling card but the quality of development given is just not there. Which isn’t to say we don’t get glimpses here and there. Melrose (Jackie Tohn) has a moment early on, Sheila (Gayle Rankin) is given some chance to shine, alongside the aforementioned Cherry, Carmen, and Tammé. However, it isn’t at the level where you can feel like this is an ensemble cast. More so, it seems like Brie and the ones they want you to see and know are the leads were given a break. So they just throw one of these women in front for a bit.

Overall: Mixed (Stick Around)

In retrospect, the problem with GLOW is that it is what should be an ensemble show which focuses on the people audience members would recognize. People who have spent most of their career as either supporting characters, guest stars, or sharing being the female lead. With that, you see a lot of growing pains. Especially because, in the case of Brie, she isn’t allowed to rely on her strengths or what got her this far.

But, in the long run, the real issue with GLOW is that there is some feign attempt to be a dramedy but it fails. Sort of like Daytime Divas, you see a sort of weak comedy which includes dramatic elements in an attempt to add depth. However, it seems the actresses just can’t deliver something which doesn’t feel forced. Thus leaving you with just a handful of comical moments and you being in awe these women, many of which who have no wrestling experience, are really performing some potentially dangerous moves.

#GLOW: Season 1 - Summary/ Review (with Spoilers) GLOW is very much like an action movie. When there is fighting you are engaged and kind of like “Wow, look at them.” However, when the leads start talking about their problems, you begin to understand why Netflix is probably the only company which would greenlight something like this.

The Eerie Fashions of WWII Europe

I discovered some of these images while I was doing visual research to costume Caryl Churchill’s play Far Away, a dystopian vision of a world fragmented into factions, with every aspect of the environment both human, animal, and elemental at war with each other. These images explore European women’s fashion during World War II, when the Blitz bombings required that people wear gas masks when out in public, resulting in an other-worldly clash between the routine and the apocalyptic. Fashion quickly caught up, and a handbag which included a respirator was issued for the discerning woman who didn’t care to carry her respirator in the typical cardboard box with a string. The siren suit, a front-zipping jumpsuit which could be quickly put on over pajamas or a nightgown should the bomb siren sound at night, became popular. Though men’s style siren suits were similar to a traditional jumpsuit, women’s styles were more figure-flattering and fashion-forward, while children’s suits were often knitted and adorably elfin. 

What draws me to these images is their distinct ominousness; the way in which the obvious crisis of mortality has been seamlessly folded into the comings and goings of everyday life and repackaged as a commodity. I’m intrigued by the retro-futurism of the siren suits, which turn the women who wore them into a hyper-stylized blend of a manual laborer, fighter pilot, and biohazard cleanup team. Here again we see the fashion world rushing in to soothe the consciousness of a woman in danger of being ripped out of bed in the middle of the night by a bomb threat by selling her vulnerability to her as an opportunity to showcase her personal style and taste. Capitalism to the rescue again! But I take their point. To don a piece of clothing provokes an innate emotional response; the right outfit can feel like a supersuit, and if that’s what these women need, then bring on the designer siren suits. 

In these images I sense a prevailing attitude that appearances must be kept up no matter the circumstances-- life goes on! Stripped of their context, though, they make for a disorienting and dystopian sight, speaking to our chilling capacity to adapt to ignore what is right under, or on, our noses.

Let me just educate you for a little bit on the Salem Witch Trails of 1692: (which every witch should know about)

small note: I used multiple sources along with old family stories passed on from my ancestors. Also please take in account that it is 4am and I spent over an hour gathering this information and even woke my mom up to ask questions. Ignore all grammatical errors. Thank you.

Quick Brief Explaination

The trails were triggered from fear, the fear of the Devil. It was said that witches would worship him and do his bidding. Christians believed that the devil was constantly trying to find ways to infiltrate and destroy Christians and their communities. This created panic and hysteria which resulted in a witch hunt. Although, the slave Tituba’s confession was the main reason as to why the Salem Witch Trials ended up happening. While the colonists had accused and convicted people of witchcraft before, starting with Margaret Jones in 1648, no one had ever actually confessed to being a witch before or ever stated that there were other witches out there. This resulted in adding more stress onto the colonists. The environment in Salem was extremely tense from multiple factors, which made the colonists believe that the devil was to blame for all of their issues.

The actual trials began in the spring of 1962, after a group of young girls who fell ill after playing a fortune-telling game in Salem Village, Massachusetts filled claims that they were possessed by Satan and then accused local women of witchcraft. The girls later came to be known as the ‘afflicted girls.’

Afflicted Girls: Elizabeth Booth Elizabeth Hubbard Mercy Lewis Betty Parris Ann Putnam, Jr. Susannah Sheldon Abigail Williams Mary Walcott Mary Warren

“The first of the girls to start experiencing symptoms was Betty Parris, followed by Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam Jr., Mary Walcott and Mercy Lewis. Shortly after, Elizabeth Hubbard, Susannah Sheldon, Mary Warren and Elizabeth Booth all started to experience the same symptoms, which consisted of suffering “fits,” hiding under furniture, contorting in pain and experiencing fever. Many modern theories suggest the girls were suffering from epilepsy, boredom, child abuse, mental illness or even a disease brought on by eating rye infected with fungus. In February, Samuel Parris called for a doctor, who is believed to be Dr. William Griggs, to examine the girls. The doctor was unable to find anything physically wrong with them and suggested they may be bewitched. Shortly after, two of the girls named the women they believed were bewitching them. These women were Sarah Good, Sarah Osburn and a slave named Tituba who worked for Reverend Samuel Parris. These three women were social outcasts and easy targets for the accusation of witchcraft. It was not difficult for the people of Salem to believe they were involved in witchcraft. On March 1st, Tituba, Sarah Good and Sarah Osburn were arrested and examined. During Tituba’s examination, she made a shocking confession that she had been approached by Satan, along with Sarah Good and Sarah Osburn, and they had all agreed to do his bidding as witches.” Which as I said before her confession is what triggered the fear that lead to the massive witch hunt. It had also silenced any opposition to the idea that the Devil had infiltrated Salem.

Quick Facts

It’s a common myth that the Salem Witch Trials victims     were burned at the stake. The fact is, no accused witches were burned at     the stake in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem was ruled by English law at the     time, which only allowed death by burning to be used against men who     committed high treason and only after they had been hanged, quartered and     drawn.

Bridget Bishop was the first convicted “witch” that was     hung, that year on June 10, 1692, at a place that is now called Proctor’s     Ledge. She had been accused of witchcraft years before, but she ended up     being cleared of the crime. She was accused by five of the afflicted     girls, Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam Jr., Mercy Lewis, Mary Walcott and     Elizabeth Hubbard, who stated she had physically hurt them and tried to     make them sign a pact with the devil. 

“I am innocent, I know nothing of it, I have done no witchcraft …. I am as innocent as the child unborn…” -Bridget Bishop during her trial

Many of the people accused of and punished for being     witches, actually weren’t witches. The actual witches stayed silent and     laid low before eventually fleeing Salem.

Not everyone in Salem actually believed in witchcraft     or supported the trials. There were many critics of the witch hunt, such     as a local farmer John Proctor, who scoffed at the idea of witchcraft in     Salem and called the young girls scam artists. Critics such as Proctor     were quickly accused of witchcraft themselves, under the assumption that     anyone who denied the existence of witches or defended the accused must be     one of them, and were brought to trial. Proctor’s entire family was     accused, including all of his children, his pregnant wife Elizabeth, and     sister-in-law. 

The trials were held in the Salem courthouse, which was     located in the center of Washington Street about 100 feet south of Lynde     Street, opposite of where the Masonic Temple now stands. The courthouse     was torn down in 1760 but a plaque dedicated to the courthouse can still     be seen today on the wall of the Masonic Temple on Washington Street.

Many of the women accused were unpopular social     outcasts.

Spectral evidence, evidence based on dreams and visions     was the most common evidence and the easiest evidence for accusers to     fake. Other evidence used in the trials included confessions of the     accused, possession of certain items such as poppets, ointments or books     on the occult, as well as the presence of an alleged “witch’s teat,” which     was a strange mole or blemish, on the accused person’s body.

Finally, on September 22, the last hangings of the     Salem Witch Trials occurred.

Two victims include two dogs who were shot or killed after being suspected     of witchcraft.

30 Years Later, ‘The Golden Girls’ is Still the Most Progressive Show on Television

“I had to write ‘Golden Girls’…I’ve never gotten excited about a network idea before, but this was compelling. I could write grown-ups.” — Susan Harris, creator of ‘The Golden Girls,’ September 1985

Picture it: Hollywood, 1985. The first episode of The Golden Girls airs, introducing the world to Blanche Devereaux, Rose Nylund, Sophia Petrillo, and Dorothy Zbornak. The show attracted more than 25 million viewers, becoming the highest-rated program of the week and consistently ranked in the top 10 sitcoms during its run. Over the course of seven seasons, the show racked up 68 Emmy nominations, 11 wins, and is one of only 4 shows in TV history whose principal actors all won Emmys for their roles. Despite Hollywood’s obsession with youth, The Golden Girls is still beloved by audiences thirty years after its premiere.

Beyond the fact that the show is extremely well-written and well acted (thanks to Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, Rue McClanahan, and Betty White), The Golden Girls also stands out for being one of the last sitcoms where progressive values were part of the show’s DNA.

In an interview with Out Magazine, show creator Susan Harris explained, “We liked to tackle — not outrageous issues — but important issues. Things that I knew that people went through that hadn’t been addressed on television.” Harris was no stranger to shows that incorporated political story lines, having previously worked on Norman Lear’s groundbreaking All in the Family, and having written the historic abortion episode for Maude, which won her the Humanitas Prize — an award for film and television writing that promotes human dignity, meaning, and freedom. It is not surprising then that Harris brought this tradition to the writer’s room of The Golden Girls each week. The following are just some of the reasons why, after 30 years, The Golden Girls is still the most progressive show on television.

A Feminist Show

The very premise of The Golden Girls — four women navigating life after marriage and finding companionship in one another — is feminist in nature.While the women exchange quips and get into fights, the overarching message of the show focuses on the importance of chosen family, and women supporting other women. Further, we see the women enjoying life after marriage. Over the course of the series, we see the characters focus on career ambitions, new hobbies, and more often than not, their unapologetic enjoyment of sex. So much so that the blog Refinery29 recently tallied how many men each character slept with (naturally, Blanche had the most at 165). What made their love lives particularly important was the fact that television shows rarely portray older women as sexual beings.

The very premise of The Golden Girls — four women navigating life after marriage and finding companionship in one another — is feminist in nature.

“Television is always several steps behind life. When do you see passionate older people on television?” Susan Harris told The New York Times in a 1985 interview shortly after the show’s premiere. “There is life after 50. People can be attractive, energetic, have romances. When do you see people of this age in bed together? Eventually on this show, you will. It’s kind of pathetic that this show is television’s baby steps.’’

And the impact this had on audiences was clear. During an episode of The Phil Donahue Show, an adoring caller thanked guests Bea Arthur and Betty White for making her “feel 52 and gorgeous.” And the Winter 1989 issue of Media & Values magazine included survey responses from middle aged viewers of the show, such as one woman who responded, “I like this program because it gives me hope that there’s life after 50!” Beyond the message of female empowerment, the fact that the characters were older was significant in and of itself for the unprecedented portrayal of aging on television.

Portrayals of Aging

“Probably the single most effective product to come out of Hollywood in terms of turning around the cultural stereotypes about older women was the hugely popular and successful television show The Golden Girls in the late 1980s and early 1990s,” activist Ai-jen Poo wrote in her book Aging with Dignity. “Those four women, each with her own distinct history and personality…shattered the silence and the invisibility around aging in the most hilarious and endearing ways.”

While the entertainment industry pressures actresses to go to great lengths to maintain or restore their youth, The Golden Girls embraced aging and all the humor, wisdom, and vulnerability that comes with it.

This is evident in the episode “Rose Fights Back,” when Rose is cut off from her deceased husband’s pension plan and must find a new job. She is soon faced with age discrimination and the fear of not being able to make her rent. In a poignant scene, Rose discusses often seeing an older woman digging through the trash. She tells the other ladies, “I wondered, what did she do to get herself into a fix like that? I thought, well, she must be lazy, or she must be pretty stupid to let something like this happen to her. The truth is: she’s me.”

In another episode, Sophia makes a friend, Alvin, at the Boardwalk, but soon discovers that he has Alzheimer’s disease. She tells Dorothy, “people think if you live to be my age you should be grateful just to be alive. Well, that’s not how it works. You need a reason to get up in the morning and sometimes even after you find one, life can turn right around and spit in your face.”

While the entertainment industry pressures actresses to go to great lengths to maintain or restore their youth, The Golden Girls embraced aging and all the humor, wisdom, and vulnerability that comes with it.

Gay Rights

While the show’s message about women and aging is tied to its premise, The Golden Girls was often ahead of its time on other social issues. Twenty-four years prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic ruling on marriage equality, The Golden Girls defended same-sex marriage before it was a mainstream position. In this episode, Blanche’s brother Clayton pays a visit and announces that he is engaged to his partner, Doug. In one scene, Sophia perfectly explains marriage equality to an upset Blanche:

In an interview with Vulture, show writer Marc Cherry recalled, “We were young writers, and we got to say a little something about gay rights and how gay people see themselves. It was about two men getting married, which is something people at the time didn’t talk about. And it was a really funny episode.”

Off the screen, the actresses were dedicated to advancing the cause of gay rights. At the height of the AIDS epidemic, which tragically hit the gay community, Estelle Getty was a staunch AIDS activist. In a 1989 interview, she explained, “I’ve been in show business all my life, and the majority of my friends are gay…A lot of my friends have died from AIDS.”

The show tackled the stigma surrounding AIDS head on in the episode “72 Hours,” and worked to counteract the myth that it was a gay disease or punishment. In the episode, Rose finds out she may have contracted the disease from an operation, and grows increasingly scared and angry. In one scene she exclaims, “This isn’t supposed to happen to people like me…I’m a good person!” Blanche argues back, “AIDS is not a bad person’s disease, Rose. It is not God punishing people for their sins.” The scene manages to be both humorous and raw.

Confronting Race

Much like the show did with gay rights, The Golden Girls confronted issues related to race in honest ways, rather than the imaginary “post-racial” interactions many sitcoms favor today. In one episode, Dorothy’s son Michael announces he’s getting married to Lorraine, a black singer in his band. The news causes Dorothy to cringe and cry out “Oh God,” but she recovers to explain that her race doesn’t matter. The scene portrays the complexity of prejudice, and dispels the idea that racism is something only “bad people” are guilty of — a recognition that is necessary in order to truly overcome prejudice.

Rarely is America’s complicated history with race woven into a sitcom storyline, much less as part of a white character’s backstory.

In another episode, we are introduced to Blanche’s “Mammy” from growing up, Viola Watkins. When Viola reveals that she had an affair with Blanche’s father, she explains, “In another time and place, we would have been married. But at that time in the South, it wasn’t an option.” The episode highlighted how often white children grew attached to their black caretakers, while underscoring the racial animosity that existed around them. Rarely is America’s complicated history with race woven into a sitcom storyline, much less as part of a white character’s backstory.

Disability Visibility

One subject matter that most television shows ignore altogether is disability. The Golden Girls, however, had multiple episodes revolving around characters with disabilities, usually as part of the women’s love lives. In these episodes, the women are forced to confront their own prejudices and misperceptions around what it means to be a person with a disability.

According to Lawrence Carter-Long, an expert on disability and media, “The best writing about disability focuses on character. Not a rehash of the same two-dimensional tragic or heroic movie-of-the-week stillness we’ve all seen a hundred times before.”

This sentiment is perfectly demonstrated in the episode “Stand By Your Man.” Blanche is nervous about dating Ted, a man in a wheelchair, played by Hugh Farrington, an actor who was paraplegic in real life. In the episode, Blanche gets past her prejudices and discovers that Ted is no different than anyone else, for better or worse. After learning that he has a wife, she says, “It never dawned on me that you could be a jerk in a wheelchair.”

In another episode, Rose is dating Jonathan Newman, a doctor at the grief center where she works. Rose is initially embarrassed to reveal their relationship because Jonathan is a little person, but she is determined to make it work. In the end, however, Jonathan breaks things off with Rose because she isn’t Jewish.

Fighting Poverty

Finally, as someone who does research and advocacy around fighting poverty, I am often frustrated by the myths and stereotypes that persist in film and television. The Golden Girls is not one of those shows. On many occasions, the show discusses poverty, but there is no better scene that demonstrates how well they did on the subject than in the episode “Have Yourself A Very Little Christmas,” when the ladies volunteer at a church to serve Christmas dinner to the homeless. They soon discover that Dorothy’s ex-husband, Stan, is among the people in need. The Church’s Reverend goes on to perfectly explain how poverty is an experience (rather than a moral failing, which is often the message), how public policy plays a role, and closes the scene with a direct jab at then-President Ronald Reagan:

REVEREND AVERY

You’d be surprised how many people are only two or three paychecks away from being on the street. The suddenly poor are all around us. Once you’ve been knocked down like that, it’s very hard to recover.

DOROTHY

What’s going to happen to all these people?

REVEREND AVERY

I don’t know. There’s no affordable housing, the rents keep going up and up, and the minimum wage has been held down.

ROSE

Seems so unfair.

REVEREND AVERY

Well, that’s because it is. There are three million homeless, hungry people in this country.

BLANCHE

What bothers me is, those people out there are being fed today because it’s Christmas, but what will they eat tomorrow?

REVEREND AVERY

When the great communicator talked about his vision of a city on a hill, I wonder if it included people sleeping on gratings in the street.

Over the past few years, many politicians have credited television for advancing their views on gay rights. And a growing body of research confirms that “as we grow emotionally attached to characters who are part of a minority group, our prejudices tend to recede.” In other words, television has the power to change the world. This makes what The Golden Girls accomplished even more critical. While the show wasn’t perfect on every issue, particularly on perpetuating hurtful plot lines around trans characters, The Golden Girls was an unapologetically progressive show. The show gave visibility to older women while using this unique platform to champion a number of progressive ideals that often go untouched by television shows. Not only is this level of progressivism unmatched on the small screen, the entire show was made possible by the understanding that older actresses have value and women can be funny.

The strength of the characters, the incorporation of storytelling, and punch lines delivered with a simple facial expression are among the many devices that make The Golden Girls one of the funniest sitcoms of all time. But it’s progressive message makes it one of the most important.

As a loyal fan, I’ll be celebrating the show’s 30th anniversary with my favorite episodes and a slice of cheesecake.

It’s onerous to think about now, within the age of the Web, that after upon a time, within the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, pin-up fashions had been the topic of many males’s fantasies. These classic pinups could possibly be could possibly be seen adorned on the partitions of many males. Therefore the title pin-up since you might show these pictures wherever you’d like. Pin-up fashions consisted of glamour fashions, trend fashions, and even well-known actresses. These pictures might had been seen in publications like magazines or newspapers, or had been pictures from postcards or chromo-lithographs, and even on calendars. Pin-up fashions had been idealized variations of what a specific time interval would assume can be its optimum stunning lady. Whereas pin-ups began on the finish of the 19th century, they didn’t rise to prominence till the ’40s.

Most of the starlets who appeared on the large display like Brigette Bardot, Natalie Wooden and Rita Hayworth, had been classic pin-up fashions. In truth, when you ask your grandparents, they’d be more likely to bear in mind who their childhood crushes had been and it’s doubtless that lots of them are on this checklist.

 Nancy Joyce

Nancy Fulmer Joyce departed this world on August 1st following a courageous three-year battle with plasma cell leukemia. During that fight, she maintained her famous sense of humor, laughing loud and often, never whining about her fate.

           Nancy grew up in the Syracuse, NY area. She was a lifelong learner furthering her education and receiving various degrees from Elmira College, Syracuse University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Appalachian State University and UNC-Greensboro where she earned her Doctorate Degree. She worked in the Wilkes County Schools for more than 30 years as a teacher (receiving a "Teacher of the Year" award), psychologist, administrator, and school principal (receiving a "Principal of the Year" award). After a short hiatus, she hung out her shingle and practiced psychology. Her focus throughout her career was on "the child", whose cause she always championed.

           She was active in the community, served on various boards, volunteered at Hospice, and was a member and past president of the North Wilkesboro Rotary Club. She was a faithful member of St. John's Catholic Church and taught Sunday School and served as a lector for many years. During her illness, in the comfort of her sunroom, she was grateful to share religious thoughts, while drinking Irish tea, with Sister Janis McQuade, SSJ. She played bridge, drank wine and giggled with her buds to the end.

           Mostly, she loved her family- husband Dennis, sons Pat and Sean, her sisters, brothers and all other kith and kin. But she was wildly, deliriously happy to spend time with her beloved grandchildren, Connor, Ansley, and Emmett- Pat and Nikki's brood. It is beyond a shadow of any reasonable doubt, Pat can attest, that she treated her grandkids far better, nicer, kinder and gentler than she did her own sons ("poor babies") and her wonderful husband.

           A Mass of Christian Burial was August 6th with Father John Hanic presiding. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a gift to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of Nancy F. Joyce, P.O. Box 98018, Washington, DC 20090-8018. Their website is: www.lls.org
