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.

Ohhh, that does make my day and my life better. How does your country feel about a wave of immigration? Because I have to tell you, I am sorely tempted.
