A Quick Guide To Key Issues In US Ballot Measures By State/Territory (leftist perspective) - UPDATED WITH RESULTS

EDIT: Post-election I've been through and updated with results or likely results. Will probably do this again in a few days once things are final. Positive results are in CAPS, BOLD AND ITALICS

I get really frustrated how little I see about ballot measures. So despite not even being in the US, I spent literally all day going through https://ballotpedia.org/2024_ballot_measures#By_state and writing up a summary.

Ideally, if you're able to vote in the US elections then you should do your own research on all applicable ballot measures and vote on them all accordingly. However, if you're not able to do that, I hope this post can help you. Ballot measures are worth voting on regardless of if you're voting Harris, Stein, write-in or spoiling your presedential ballot.

I've covered statewide ballot measures on what I'm calling "key issues", such as abortion and drug legalisation. There's also an alarming number of ballot measures based on purported concerns about non-citizen voting - these tend to replace constitutional language stating "every citizen" can vote with "only a citizen" can vote. I find that deeply concerning as it implies to me the possibility of not every citizen being able to vote.

Not covering something as a "key issue" doesn't mean it's not important - but it does mean I don't feel qualified to comment. I've skipped states without "key issues" to keep the list short. This is not exhaustive. Not-but-should-be-states are at the end.

Alaska:

Ballot Measure 1: MINIMUM WAGE: A YES would raise the state minimum wage to $15/hr and require paid sick leave. LIKELY TO PASS! 57% yes with 76% counted at time of editing.

Ballot Measure 2: RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: A NO would prevent the repeal of the existing ranked-choice voting system in Alaska. Toss-up at time of editing, no sadly at 49% with 76% of votes in, but that could change.

Arizona:

Proposition 133: OTHER: Seeks to constitutionally require partisan primaries, currently required by state statute. A NO on this amendment would make it easier for open top-four/similar primaries to be introduced. FAILED!

Proposition 134: OTHER: Seeks to restrict citizen-initiated ballot measures by imposing electoral-college-style requirements. A NO on this amendment would prevent this restriction on citizen-initiated ballot measures. FAILED!

Proposition 136: OTHER: Seeks to allow ballot measures to be challenged as unconsitutional prior to elections - the practical effect would be to allow nuisance lawsuits making ballot measure campaigns more expensive. A NO on this amendment would prevent this restriction on citizen-initiated ballot measures. FAILED!

Proposition 138: MINIMUM WAGE: This is a tricky one, as it reduces the minimum wage for tipped workers slightly but only on the condition that their total take-home pay is $2/hr above standard minimum wage. Currently tipped workers in AZ have a reduced minimum wage but their total take-home pay only has to equal the standard minimum wage. Generally republicans and restaurants are supporting YES, democrats and worker groups are supporting NO. FAILED!

Proposition 139: ABORTION: A YES on this amendment would provide a strong right to abortion before fetal viability. PASSED 62:38!!

Proposition 140: RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: A YES on this amendment would introduce open top-X primaries, with the legislature to choose the number, and require that candidates receive >50% of votes to win - potentially leading to ranked-choice voting. However, it could lead to top-two open primaries without ranked-choice voting. Failed.

Propositions 311, 312, 313 and 314: COP NONSENSE: a NO vote on all of these would prevent assorted cop nonsense. Sadly all passed.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

California:

Proposition 32: MINIMUM WAGE: A YES on this would provide an $18/hr minimum wage by 2026, rather than stagnating at $16. Currently narrowly behind (48:52) but with only 54% of the vote counted.

Proposition 34: OTHER: Appears to be a set of alarmingly specific and stringent regulations designed to target the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for their broader activities, like providing housing and supporting rent control via Prop 33. A NO would prevent this nonsense. Currently narrowly ahead (52:48) but with only 51% of the vote counted.

Proposition 36: COP NONSENSE: A NO would prevent more aggressive criminal penalties for various (mainly drug) offenses, which would otherwise worsen mass incarceration. Sadly, expected to pass (70% yes with 54% counted)

Proposition 3: MARRIAGE EQUALITY: A YES would formally remove a ban on same-sex marriage from the California Constitution. EXPECTED TO PASS! - 61% with 54% counted

Proposition 6: PRISON LABOUR: A YES would remove language permitting forced labour as punishment from the state constitution. Currently narrowly behind (45:55) but with only 53% of the vote counted.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Colorado:

Amendment 79: ABORTION: A YES on this amendment would provide a nonspecific right to abortion, and remove a section of the Colorado Constitution that prohibits the use of public funds for abortion. LIKELY TO PASS - currently 62:38 with 75% reported, needs 55%!!

Amendment J: MARRIAGE EQUALITY: A YES would formally remove a ban on same-sex marriage from the Colorado Constitution. LIKELY TO PASS - currently 64:36 with 73% reported, only needs 50%!!

Proposition 128: COP NONSENSE: A NO would prevent this proposition from imposing further arbitrary restriction on parole for violent crimes that are already difficult to get parole for. The proposition has been criticised as a giveaway to private prisons. Sadly, likely to pass.

Proposition 130: COP NONSENSE: A NO would prevent an arbitrary allocation of even more money to cops. Sadly, likely to pass.

Proposition 131: RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: A YES would bring in ranked-choice voting for state and federal offices. Likely to fail.

Proposition KK: OTHER: A YES would bring in a tax on guns with proceeds going to crime victims, mental health services, school security etc. LIKELY TO PASS - currently 54:46 with 75% reported!

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Connecticut:

No-Excuse Absentee Voting Amendment: VOTING RIGHTS: A YES would allow absentee voting without having to provide a valid excuse. LIKELY TO PASS - currently 57:43 with 57% reported!

Florida:

Amendment 3: DRUG LEGALIZATION: A YES would legalize and regulate limited recreational weed. Received 55% yes, short of 60% threshold, with 95% counted.

Amendment 4: ABORTION: A YES would provide a strong right to abortion, "before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health". Received 57% yes, short of 60% threshold, with 95% counted.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

HJR 5: NONCITIZEN VOTING CONSPIRACY THEORY: A NO would prevent an alteration that's at best unnecessary, and at worst could invite future restrictions on the rights of citizens to vote. Likely to pass.

Proposition 1: RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: A YES would bring in ranked-choice voting and open top-four primaries for congresspeople and some state offices. Likely to fail.

Iowa:

Amendment 1: NONCITIZEN VOTING CONSPIRACY THEORY: A NO would prevent an alteration that's at best unnecessary, and at worst could invite future restrictions on the rights of citizens to vote. Passed.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Constitutional Amendment 1: NONCITIZEN VOTING CONSPIRACY THEORY: A NO would prevent an alteration that's at best unnecessary, and at worst could invite future restrictions on the rights of citizens to vote. Passed.

Maine:

(no "key issues" as far as I can tell, but check out the flag vote!)

(flag vote failed, maine flag is staying the same)

Maryland:

Massachusetts:

Question 5: MINIMUM WAGE: A YES would raise minimum wage for tipped employees to be in line with the general minimum wage. Failed.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Missouri:

Amendment 3: ABORTION: A YES would provide a strong right to reproductive freedom including abortion and reproductive healthcare. PASSED! 52:48

Amendment 6: COP NONSENSE: A NO would prevent this weird constitutional "more money for cops" measure, which appears to be looking to reestablish dodgy practises declared unconstitutional in 2021. FAILED 39:61!

Amendment 7: RANKED CHOICE VOTING: This is an anti-ranked-choice measure, a NO would help leave the door open for ranked-choice voting in the future. Passed.

Proposition A: MINIMUM WAGE: A YES would bring in a $15 minimum wage plus strengthened employment rights. PASSED 58:42!

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Montana:

CI-126: RANKED CHOICE VOTING: A YES would require top-four open primaries for congresspeople and some state offices, going hand in hand with ranked-choice voting. Failed.

CI-127: RANKED CHOICE VOTING: A YES would require a voting system where the winner gets >50% of the vote - in practice, likely to be ranked choice - for congresspeople and some state offices. Failed.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

Nevada:

Question 3: RANKED CHOICE VOTING: A YES would bring in top-five primaries and ranked choice voting for congressional and state elections. Failed.

Question 6: ABORTION: A YES would provide a strong right to abortion before fetal viability. PASSED!

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

New York:

Proposal 1: ABORTION and TRANS RIGHTS: Though relatively vague and ambiguous in wording, a YES on this proposal is touted as theoretically protecting abortion rights. It also explicitly protects trans rights. PASSED!

North Carolina:

Citizenship Requirement for Voting Amendment: NONCITIZEN VOTING CONSPIRACY THEORY: An AGAINST on this amendment would prevent an alteration that's at best unnecessary, and at worst could invite future restrictions on the rights of citizens to vote. Sadly, passed.

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

(other measures skipped as not "key issues" as far as I can tell)

South Dakota:

Amendment F: OTHER: This amendment seeks to impose a work requirement for medicaid, forcing recipients to show their participation in "work-related activities" unless they're diagnosed with physical or mental disability. The UK benefits system does this for unemployment benefit and it's both cruel and counterproductive. A NO on this amendment would protect people who need healthcare under medicaid from this meat grinder of institutional cruelty. Sadly, passed.

Initiative 83: RANKED-CHOICE VOTING: A YES on this measure would establish ranked-choice voting for elections in DC, and also create a semi-open primary system. Passed!

Puerto Rico:

Statehood, Independence, or Free Association Referendum: OTHER: This is a non-binding refurendum, but asks once again if Puerto Rico should become a state. Once again returned a vote for statehood.

5 times Sonny tried to propose

Sonny Carisi knew he wanted to marry you within a month of knowing you. Your first date was adorably perfect, ending with the most tender of kisses, a week full of texting and midnight phone calls before your next one, your schedules were a little wonky due to his detective work and your work as a nurse.

The first time you meet the Carisi clan he’s smitten, he knows, his Dad knows, his sisters are already teasing him about ring shopping and his Mom’s already asking when she’s going to get some more grandkids

The first time he tries to propose, he’s cooked your favourite, most elaborate dinner for the two you, there’s candles on the table, a soft jazz playlist playing through the apartment, a trail of rose petals leading down to the bedroom, a heart made out of them on the bed. He’s got the biggest speech all planned out and ready to go, though he’s nervous as FUCK about it. He’s nervously pacing back and fourth through the kitchen, knowing that you’re about to come through the door any minute. He jumps a half a foot when his phone goes off, you’re on the other end, apologizing, saying you’re going to miss dinner, a mass casualty came in and it’s all hands on deck at the hospital. It’s not long after that his phone goes off again, Liv calling the squad in to help out on the law side of things. He leaves dinner in the oven (turned off of course) and scrambles to get rid of all the rose petals. He ends up sleeping at the precinct that night. When you finally collapse into bed you find a solo petal half shoved under the pillow and are confused, but toss it aside and completely forget.

The second time he tried was Christmas. He kept glaring at Bella for constantly dropping hints, asking you about wedding dresses, venues, what your dream ceremony would be like, she even had you on Pinterest oo-ing and aweing over things, but you figured she just wanted your opinion on her own upcoming nuptials. Finally, you had a moment to escape, a moment to yourselves as everyone gathered in the living room for presents and christmas movies. Sonny pulled you out onto the back porch where the snow was gently falling and everything seemed perfect. You were wrapped in his arms, nuzzling deeper into him, murmuring how much you loved him, wishing every moment could be like this. He kissed you softly on the head, cupping your cheek as he starts to pour his heart out to you, how much he adores you and loves every second he gets to spend with you. His free hand is in his pocket, toying with the ring box, his heart thundering in his chest about to bend down on one knee when a very loud “UNCLE SONNY” breaks the moment when one of his nieces comes racing outside, he thinks he can manage to save it, nodding enthusiastically about how cool her toy is….but then she goes a little green from too much candy and pukes all over his shoes. He knows then any kind of proposal is off the table for tonight.

The third time Sonny manages to actually get Valentine’s Day off work, he’s elated when you’re 100% off guaranteed no call ins and books a reservation at the expensive, romantic Italian restaurant you shared your first date at. You’re so smitten in love with each other and look just like the rest of the love sick couples in the joint as you share appetizers and sip at pricy wine. An eruption of squeals and small applause disrupts your evening, glancing across the restaurant, you witness a couple with the man down on his knee and the girl in tears. First Sonny huff’s in annoyance at the idea of a proposal being in your head now, he then pales at the way you scoff, rolling your eyes and mentioning how cringe worthy it is when people propose on valentines. You joke that you’re so happy he knows you better and would never do such a thing, kissing his cheek softly. He’s more glad than ever in that moment that the ring was waiting at home and he hadn’t been dumb enough to have a waiter put it in the dessert or anything.

Sonny’s basically given up at this point, every time he tries to put any amount of effort in, it gets thwarted. Even regular date night at this point seem to get ruined by work, but you’re happier than ever just to return to your shared apartment and get to snuggle up with him at the end of the day and know that he loves you. It’s a warm spring day, you let him sleep in a bit while you made a simple breakfast, the smell of coffee and the fresh air flowing through the apartment rousing him from his sleep.

You kiss him on the cheek, murmuring out a good morning and an I love you, sliding him his coffee, served perfectly how he likes it and he smiles at the utter domesticity of the entire thing, watching you plate up fruity pancakes and bacon. While he’s practically scarfing down the food he can feel your eyes on him, pausing to glance up, asking you what.

In truth, you can’t help but stare at him, the sun’s streaking through the room, highlighting the silvery of his hair that you love so much, making those baby blue eyes shine brighter than ever. And in that moment you can’t think of anything but the love you hold for your boyfriend.

“Nothin.” You reply, taking a small sip of coffee, “just thinkin’ about how much I wanna marry you. Feels kinda lame to say it here…and untraditional…I don’t have a ring or anything, but if you’d marry me, I’d be the happiest woman in the world.”

Sonny just about breaks his face with how big he’s smiling, stumbling off the kitchen stool, and your instantly confused, calling after him as he races down the hall, you’re worried you’ve freaked him out, or he ate too much too fast. You’re pleasantly surprised when he returns with a small box, saying he wants nothing more than to be your husband.

The day ends in happy tears, a lot of laughter, sore sides from laughing over how many times the two of you were too blinded by love to even realize the other was trying to ask.

Lifesaver

Sonny Carisi x fem!reader Warnings: minor language, fluff otherwise.

Sonny had just stepped off the elevator on his floor, his detective instincts still turned on for the day since he had barely made it to his apartment door. Something was definitely burning, and after a brief pause he could hear the beeping of a smoke alarm going off a few doors down. He jogged the few steps to the offending door, knocking louder than he originally intended. He heard a scuffling inside for a few seconds, the sound of a patio door being slid open before the door got pulled open. Your eyes flashed to his badge, your frazzled brain not completely realizing the situation.

“Oh fuck, someone called the cops!?”

“Nah.” He chuckled, a grin spreading across his face as you glanced up to it.

“Wait…you live down the hall…Sonny, right?”

“Yeah. Hate ta admit I don’t think I ever got your name, I just know ya have that adorable cocker spaniel.” His head glanced around the apartment briefly, searching for the dog. He had to admit, the excuse of getting to pet/talk to the pup was always a more than welcome excuse to share a few words with you when you ran into each other in the hallway or shared an elevator. He’d always thought you were cute, he just never seemed to have the ideal time to step in and properly introduce himself and a little flirtation.

“Oh,” you laughed, “she’s not mine, I just walk Pepper for Ms Harrison once it’s too cold or icy, she’s got a bad hip. And it’s Y/N…” you extended a hand that he took to shake, probably lingering a little too long, but enjoying the feeling of your soft skin against his. You both jumped when the smoke alarm started screeching again, you gave an annoyed sigh and Sonny could see the hint of frustration tears in the corners of your eyes as you whipped the tea towel off your shoulder, turning back to the device to attempt to get the smoke away from it.

“Doll I got it.” He stepped past you into the apartment, missing the way you flushed at the nickname. “Nothin’s actually on fire, right?”

“Aside from my disastrous life, no.”

Chuckling, he easily reached up to the ceiling, popping the detector off its base and plucking the battery out, relieving both of your ears of the horrendous noise while the remaining bits of smoke were sucked out the balcony door.

“There. Just make sure ta put the battery back in once the room’s cleared.”

“Thanks.” You gave a downtrodden sigh, muttering out a ‘fuck’ as you turned back to the kitchen.

“What happened?” He asked out of general curiosity. It was clear you were either on your way out, or had company coming, adorned in a cute classic red cocktail dress, with a perfect red lip to match.

“I had music going while I was getting ready, I didn’t hear the timer and…” your hand swung towards the stove, where your sweet potato casserole seemed fine except for the completely blackened marshmallows on top. “I’m supposed to be at my sister’s place in twenty minutes, there’s no way I’ll have time to remake it.” Surprisingly to you, Sonny moved into the kitchen, picking at one of the crispy marshmallows, he grabbed a spoon sitting on the counter and easily scooped a few off, dropping them onto a paper towel.

“This is totally salvageable! Do ya have more marshmallows?”

“Yeah.” You glanced at your watch, “I just don’t think I’ve got time to bake it again, besides, then the sweet potato’ll be overcooked.”

“Just trust me…okay?” He grinned at you and you practically swooned, “grab a spoon.” The two of you delicately scooped up all the burnt treats off the top of the dish, picking out any black flakes that dropped into the casserole. “There, see? Just like new.” You felt your cheeks heat again at the smile he gave you, suddenly aware of how close you were to each other. “Put a fresh layer of marshmallows on, I’ll be right back!”

“What? Sonny!” Before the words were even out of your mouth he was through the door, knowing you were in a time crunch.

You gave a sigh, if everything went horribly with dinner you’d at least be able to say you had a prolonged interaction with your super cute neighbour. You grabbed the bag of marshmallows from the cupboard, daintily placing them along the top of the casserole, praying whatever Sonny had in mind would work out. He shortly ducked through the door, right as your plopped the last marshmallow into its place.

“Is that a blow torch? Are you sure that’s a good idea?” He laughed at your question.

“It’s a butane torch, it’s the same thing they use on crème brûlée’s.”

“What? You a pastry chef when you’re not busy arresting crooks? Or do you have some weird pyromaniac kink I should be worried about?” Sonny let out a bark of a laugh at your teasing.

“I like ta dabble with things in the kitchen, took a few fine dining cookin’ classes over the years. Just somethin’ different than every day life.” He fired up the torch, carefully and slowly going over the top layer of the dish, successfully browning the marshmallows to a perfect golden without over cooking the lower layers.

“You are a life saver!!” You beamed over at him as he flicked off the torch, “thank you so much! Seriously…you just made my night one hell of a lot better.”

“No problem.” He shot you a grin, “now you’re free to head downstairs an’ meet whatever date I’m sure is waiting for you.”

“Sonny,” you snorted, “I told you I’m going to my sisters, the only date that’s going to come up is the fact that I don’t have one.”

“Oh…I guess I just…assumed..” he gestured toward your appearance, causing you to laugh.

“A girl can’t feel festive over the holidays?” You teased, “But no…I am…single as they come…” your phone buzzed, interrupting any further flirtation you were able to indulge in, “that’s my ride, I’ve gotta get going.” You quickly wrapped saran over the top of the dish, grabbing your keys as you shoved your phone into your purse. “Thank you….really.” You squeezed Sonny’s hand and gave him a soft smile that he nearly melted into before jumping back into go mode.

“Hey, let me put this back up for ya, so you don’t hafta drag a chair over.” His hands grabbed the smoke detector as you crossed the room to close and latch the balcony door.

New Year’s Treat

Derek Morgan x fem!reader Warnings: language, smut, the regular sass. Covers NYE square for bingo. A/N: pardon any errors/typos, I did not edit…

You weren’t honestly too surprised when your phone rang mid morning December 31st, despite having plans with your boyfriend, you knew his job and the hectic schedule that came with it. But that didn’t stop you from letting out a soft sigh as you moved through the room to pick it up,

“Hi handsome.”

“Baby girl…I am so sorry…” he started and you chuckled,

“You’ve gotta stay another day?”

“We just busted them, there’s mountains of paperwork to do still, I just don’t think I’ll be home in time for dinner.”

“That’s okay.” You smiled into your phone, “New Year’s is a lame holiday anyways.”

“I’ll make it up to you once I’m home baby, I promise.”

“Oh I know you will.” You let out a little laugh, “now don’t you work too hard, it is a holiday after all.”

“And how about you go out tonight? I know Amber was practically begging for a girl’s night or some shit?”

“Yeah.” You laughed, “she really was, she’s on the list for some club for tonight, wants to feel all fancy and special.” You nearly scoffed, “but I guess it could be fun.”

“You really hate going out on major holidays don’t you?” Derek teased and you laughed again with a roll of your eyes.

“You know…Agent Morgan, you have an awful habit of profiling over the phone.”

“Baby, I just want to make sure you have a good night.” He replied back with a laugh and you smiled.

“I will.” You assured him, “you said no to dinner, any chance you’ll be home by midnight? I think I deserve my new year’s kiss at the least…”

“If I do not make it for midnight, I will be able to kiss you awake for the new year, how about that?”

“Sounds perfect baby.” You smiled, dropping back onto your bed with a soft sigh.

“I’ll see you soon?” He asked, and you could practically picture the scrunched eyebrow, causing you to giggle.

“You will. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Stay safe.”

“Always.” He assured you, a grin in his voice before he hung up and you let out a happy sigh, flicking through your phone to text your friends about what the plan was for tonight.

Derek let out a small chuckle at the state of the walk in closet when he got home that night, shoes strewn basically everywhere, you clearly hadn’t been able to pick which ones for the evening. He tossed the clothes from his go back into the laundry, stripping out of the ones he was wearing before stepping into the shower, washing away the thoughts of the case. Properly refreshed, he dried himself off and tugged on a pair of sweatpants before padding out to the open part of the apartment, grabbing a beer from the fridge. You were out having a good time, he may as well get a drink or two in to ring in the new year.

He couldn’t help but smirk at the sound of keys in the lock not long after he’d gotten home, your heels clicking on the hardwood as you moved into the apartment, ridding yourself of your coat as he stood from the couch.

“Well look at you.” He grinned, his eyes dragging up your body, admiring the way the fabric clung to your body in all the right places.

“You like it?” You practically purred, stepping towards him, “I am rather fond of your lack of shirt…” his hands settled on your hips as your palms ran up his chest, linking behind his neck as he leant down to kiss you.

“Thought you might.” He murmured, pulling a chuckle from you.

My #1 post of 2022

I Don't Share

Emily Prentiss x fem!reader Warnings: language, smut, daddy kink, strap on, minor face fucking, cum/"breeding" kink, dirty talk. Yeah, we really ended up going full out for this.. whoops... Covers the "you're mine & i dont share" sq for bingo Dm me or fill out the taglist form to be added to taglist!

Emily knew that you had wished she’d been home in time tonight, but that you weren’t surprised when she said the case was going to take longer. So you cancelled your dinner reservations and headed out to a local bar with your friends. You kept in touch with you girlfriend as she wrapped work while you devoured a pizza, letting her know where you would be that night, and a rough idea of when you would be home, though you reminded her you couldn’t wait to see her. She gently reminded you that you should enjoy your time out with your people, and that she would be there waiting when you got home.

What you didn’t know was while you were enjoying your drinks, laughing with friends and tossing back shots, Emily had snuck home early, and found her way to a dark corner of the bar you were at. She ordered herself a scotch, settling into the persona she wanted for the evening, leaning back into the high top chair as she watched you flit about your friends, bright smile on your face.

You laughed heavily at a joke one of your friends got through, squeezing at their shoulder before you clinked glasses, sinking back the shots, grimacing but smiling after the burn was done. It wasn’t long after that that your group of girls was infiltrated by a few bros in the bar, eye rolls having to be hidden by present company. You did your best to smile brightly, and honestly, who cared if you lead someone on for a few extra drinks? You played coy, smiling slyly, playing with your hair and giggling a little too girly, accepting the free food and drinks as the flirtation wore on. The guy got a little too close to you, his hand nearly wrapping around your waist and you took a step back, grabbing the free drink from his hand with a light laugh, clinking the glass with his as you feigned friends, but still flirty to keep the group involved.

Across the bar Emily rolled her eyes, letting out a heavy groan at the near pain in your eyes thanks to the idiot attempting to flirt with you. It didn’t take much longer than the second shot that she couldn’t bear it anymore, her plan to surprise you with your friends escaping her. She knew you’d come home to her, you always did, no matter how late, she only hoped you’d keep your wits and end up home before the liquor had turned you into a mess.

Emily was in the bedroom, the tv turned on to your usual late night binge when she heard the door click open, the sound of you dropping your keys into the bowl, hanging up your coat and kicking off your shoes. She grinned at the thought of you being home earlier than she expected, you clearly had the same idea in your head that she’d been instilling since her plane landed. She flicked off the tv, turning to a playlist on her phone instead, happy she’d already turned off the main lights, leaving the room in a low glow.

You meandered around the house for a moment, grabbing a glass of water and making sure lights were off, windows were shut and the appropriate things were locked. Finally, you made it to the bedroom, the light from the ensuite flowed into the room and you assumed that’s where Emily was. You plugged in your phone, placed down the glass of water and started to tug off your clothing, bare in your just your underwear when she spoke.

“You pulled quite the stunt tonight sweetheart.” Her voice startled you and you whipped around, eyes widening at the sight of her clad in a black lingerie set, strap already on, cock heavy between her legs.

“What?” Your mouth was suddenly very dry, any thought in your head vanished as all of your desire shot shout, your body tingling. Emily let out a small chuckle, moving through the room until she was directly in front of you, her fingers trailing across your jaw until her thumb and forefinger pinched at your chin.

“Really? You suddenly don’t remember flirting with those idiots at the bar?”

“I.. I didn’t…” you attempted to shake your head and she pinched harder at your chin, letting out a dark chuckle.

“Don’t lie to daddy, sweet thing. I saw you, twirling your hair like a school girl just to get free drinks? I hope it was worth it.”

“It was just innocent flirting.” You pouted and her eyes narrowed for a moment.

“It better have been, because you’re mine. And I don’t share.”

Emily surged toward you, her lips meeting yours in a dominating kiss as her hand sunk around to the back of your head, tightly tugging her to you. Her other arm wound around your body, groping at the globe of your ass, rutting her hips against yours, her cock brushing against your panty clad clit. Your hands loosely looped around her shoulders, fingers beginning to clench into her skin when her tongue slid across your lips, seeking entrance.

You easily accepted her tongue, dancing against it with your own in a very familiar routine, exploring every inch of each other’s mouths. You let out a quiet moan into her mouth that she swallowed down with ease, the hand pinching at your ass moved up your body swiftly unclipping your bra, letting it fall to the floor behind you.

“Would you like me to remind you why I don’t need to share?” She murmured against your lips and you nodded feverishly.

“Yes, please daddy.”

“That’s what I thought.” She near growled in response, her hands curving around your chest, groping, brushing her thumbs over your nipples before pinching at them, pulling a low moan from you. “Well… you didn’t misbehave all that much, so I shouldn’t punish you, but why don’t you get daddy’s cock nice and wet for me? I know how much that needy little pussy likes it when I fuck your face.”

It took only a moment for you to drop to your knees, Emily letting out a little chuckle at how eager you were. Her hand caressed your cheek, thumb tracing your lips as they fell open,

“Always my good little girl aren’t you?”

In response you simply smiled, pressing a kiss to the tip of her thumb and she laughed softly, her hand dropping from your face to wrap around her cock. She gave the base of it the tiniest squeeze, a bead of lube sneaking out of its tip that she smeared around your open lips with the tip of her cock. You let out a small whine, wanting to be good but also aching for her to stuff you full to the brim. She let out a small tsk, but gave you what you wanted, her cock slipping into your waiting mouth, your lips wrapping around it. She let out a groan as the tip of it hit the back of your throat, her eyes watching the way it bulged in your neck,

“So fucking pretty sweetheart.” She praised and you whimpered in response, shifting up on your knees, bracing yourself against her thighs as she tangled a hand into your hair. “You want daddy to fuck your face?” You nodded once again, drool pooling up in your mouth, nearly about to escape beyond your lips if she didn’t move soon.

You were met with relief as she pulled out of your mouth, leaving the tip in and you let out a gasp of breath, catching as much as you could before she plunged back in, the hand in your hair pushing you all the way down to the base of the toy. She waited a moment, holding your there, listening to the wet sounds of your mouth, sucking and licking around her cock before she began to fuck your mouth. She set a steady pace, nothing too rough, just enough to have you gagging the perfect amount, the makeup around your eyes barely beginning to smudge as your eyes watered. The moment she tried to pull her cock out you let out a frustrated whine and she raised a brow in your direction before plunging back in. This time her hand loosely wrapped around your throat, swearing lowly at the feeling of her cock deep within you, bulging against her hand. A couple more thrusts were all she could take before she knew she needed to see your cunt, knowing that you were absolutely drenching the panties you were still wearing and she pulled out of your lips, chuckling at the whine and pout you gave her, your lips swollen and covered in spit, a little gleam of the lube still lingering.

“Oh pet, I know. I know you like my cum in your mouth, but tonight Daddy wants to come in that tight little pussy, remind you who it belongs to, hmm?”

“Yes please….” You whined, your thighs instinctively rubbing together at the sheer thought.

Decorating Tips After Your Home Improvement In Phoenix Arizona

Going through a home improvement provides excitement and anticipation but also requires and a little patience. What will keep you going during the short time that your home renovation is going on will be the anticipation of being able to plan your décor then implement it.

These few decorating tips will help start the process.

Home Improvement For Your Kitchen:

If your home improvement has been your kitchen then what you will be focusing on mostly is the colors of your walls. You want something that is going to work nicely with the main features of this room. These are your cabinets, counters and flooring. You have some great choices here and most likely the painting is going to be completed by your home renovation contractors in phoenix.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind. If you have a lot of light coming into your kitchen then you may want to stay with the softer colors. Some of the homes in Scottsdale for example have patio or French doors leading off their kitchen and this really allows for some great lighting. If you become too bold with your colors then the natural lighting is going to enhance this even more and perhaps make it overwhelming. That doesn’t mean you can’t go with the rustic tones which really add warmth to a kitchen and gives it an elegant look.

Decorating your Phoenix kitchen after a home renovation gives you the perfect opportunity to declutter. It’s a fresh beginning. Now is the time to get rid of all those kitchen items that have been hanging around for a long time taking up space and never getting used.

Following Your Bathroom Home Renovation

Aside from your bathroom walls when it comes to the paint or finish, you are going to want to add some décor touches. You can accomplish this with items like your towel holders, mirrors, and accent lighting. If you installed a sink that allows you to have some counter space don’t clutter this with décor. At the most, you may want to have a soap holder on this. You can accent a corner of the bathroom with a vase with artificial flowers or perhaps a figurine. Less is more when it comes to this room. To really accent the room focus on the items that have to be there and make sure they complement each other. Your towels will also act as a nice accent as well.

Dining Room Home Renovation

This is a room when it comes to decorating after your home improvement that you have a lot more wall space to work with. The theme that you have built in your house is going to be the main focus. Even if have other rooms in the home that will be going through a home renovation focus on the theme for the room that is completed. No doubt when time and money permits you will be continuing with your home upgrades and you want one room to flow into another.

Denise Marsa's "PIVOTAL" Moment in Music and Creativity"

Denise Marsa’s latest album, PIVOTAL, stands as a significant landmark in her storied career as an award-winning singer-songwriter and keyboardist. Known for her innovative approach to music and a catalog that spans decades, Marsa continues to evolve as an artist while staying true to her distinctive style. This year has proven especially remarkable for her. She kicked off 2024 with the release of the soulful track “Kiss Me in the Rain,” which was later remixed into the Until Dawn version, reaching an impressive #6 on the UK Music Week Commercial Club Charts. Building on that success, she followed up with the vibrant and empowering single “Rainbow” (Until Dawn Remix), timed to coincide with Pride Month and celebrating themes of love, inclusivity, and unity. Now, as summer unfolds, Marsa brings us PIVOTAL, an album that reflects her unwavering dedication to creating music that resonates deeply with listeners, blending personal insight with universal appeal.

PIVOTAL represents a rich blend of genres and sounds, underscoring Marsa’s versatility as a self-taught keyboardist, singer-songwriter, and producer. Marsa, who has consistently pushed musical boundaries throughout her career, offers an eclectic mix of alt-indie pop that defies easy categorization. Her decision to launch her own label, KeyMedia Group, in 1998 to release her debut solo album Self, set the tone for her independent and entrepreneurial spirit. That album was widely praised by both indie and mainstream outlets, solidifying her as a force in the music world.

Her journey has always been marked by a fierce commitment to her individuality and a tenacious drive to maintain artistic control. PIVOTAL captures this spirit, offering listeners a collection of tracks that are not only musically diverse but also rich in storytelling. Marsa's lyrics explore themes of romance, self-reflection, personal growth, and triumph over adversity, wrapped in melodies that are both infectious and deeply moving. The album speaks to her strength as a songwriter and her capacity to navigate complex emotions while making them relatable and accessible.

Denise Marsa's music career began in New York City after she relocated from Arizona, leaving behind her studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Once in New York, she quickly found her footing, performing in clubs across the city and catching the attention of industry professionals. This led to her involvement in two chart-topping tracks—first as the co-vocalist on the pop duet “Lucky Stars” with Dean Friedman, and then as the lead vocalist for The Flirts’ hit “Helpless (You Took My Love).” These early successes catapulted her into the spotlight and cemented her place in the music industry.

In the years following, Marsa shifted her focus to songwriting, securing deals with Warner Bros UK and later Warner Chappell US. Her time in London further expanded her musical horizons, and upon returning to the US, she made the bold decision to form her own band and launch her record label, KeyMedia Group. This move enabled her to take control of her music career, releasing her work independently, starting with her debut album Self. Marsa’s entrepreneurial spirit also extended beyond music, as she founded KeyMedia Public Relations, where she utilized her industry expertise to assist other artists and professionals in the arts, entertainment, and wellness sectors.

More recently, Marsa has shifted her focus back to her own music. In 2016, she signed an administrative deal with BMG Publishing US and began work on a one-woman show titled The Pass. The show premiered to critical acclaim at The Playground Theatre in London and went on to win the Best Concert Award at the 2021 United Solo Festival in New York City. This period of creative resurgence has paved the way for the release of PIVOTAL, which represents her most personal and ambitious work to date.

With the support of BMG Publishing and her relentless dedication, PIVOTAL is poised to be one of Marsa’s defining achievements. The album showcases her ability to straddle multiple genres while maintaining a cohesive narrative. Her distinctive voice remains the constant thread throughout the album, guiding listeners through a journey that is as emotionally rich as it is musically diverse. From reflective ballads to upbeat anthems, Marsa continues to push the boundaries of her artistry.

In addition to the music, Marsa’s work is complemented by striking visual elements. One of the highlights of this era in her career is her animated series, The Cowgirl & The Alien, which takes viewers on a whimsical journey into an intergalactic love story. Inspired by her song “Float,” the series explores the challenges of an unusual relationship between a human and an alien, adding a mystical and imaginative layer to Marsa’s already captivating narrative style. The series was brought to life through a collaboration with videographer Karolina Tyszkowska and reflects Marsa’s ability to extend her creativity beyond music.

The album also features visually stunning music videos, including the fun and colorful rendition for “Rainbow Until Dawn Remix” and an intimate, close-up video for “Dry Spell.” These visual components add a new dimension to her music, allowing her to connect with audiences on multiple levels and offering a more immersive storytelling experience.

From her early days performing in the vibrant New York City music scene to her chart-topping success with tracks like “Lucky Stars” and “Helpless (You Took My Love),” and now with PIVOTAL, Marsa continues to inspire with her artistry. Her music resonates with a wide audience, thanks to her unique blend of genres, captivating narratives, and her authentic voice as a storyteller.

For both longtime fans and new listeners, PIVOTAL offers an exciting glimpse into the evolving world of Denise Marsa. Her music continues to uplift, inspire, and create connections, while her unwavering dedication to her craft ensures that her work will remain a vital part of the contemporary music landscape. As PIVOTAL reaches new ears, Marsa stands poised to inspire a new generation with her heartfelt, innovative sound.
