it's a bright, clear, beautiful day

I cried on the subway today, smiling so hard through the tears that no one had to ask what was wrong. The fact that I was a shitty math teacher this morning doesn't matter. The fact that I forgot a book at home and had to spend two extra hours on the subway going back and forth to the university doesn't matter. It's a bright, clear, beautiful day, because sometimes the bigots don't win.

Wow, what a landslide. That is such wonderful, excellent news, and a really great thing to see right when I woke up today!

We have to try to catch up to Canada somehow, you know? ♥ But yes, yes, and I am so fucking happy today, I can't even tell you. It's like this deep-down, shivery YES that keeps making me smile and smile.
