I have a list of good news bits today I want to get to later, but since I can’t stop getting all choked up about it, nor stop squealing her name, I just have to say….

Nancy. Pelosi.

And all other sorts of really encouraging political gains for those of us who, you know, actually give a shit about people, their rights, and our collective well-being.

But the idea that some little girl somwhere was able to have the first election she saw involve a woman, winning the third most powerful position in U.S. politics — an unapologetic feminist, no less; such an awesome woman, too, and don’t think it doesn’t get me extra beamy that she’s an Italian-American — has just got me so damn loopy, I cannot stop happydancing and weeping.

P.S. I love Wordpress with the burning passion of a thousand firey suns.
