Wearing white today on behalf of HRC and women EVERYWHERE [View all]

(difficult since I'm too sloppy for a lot of white in my wardrobe)...Likewise feeling very emotional. Lots of exercise planned for today to keep me from freaking out!

But, for me, my thoughts are also filled with every damned incident of gender discrimination, harassment, cat-calling, ugly comments, wolf whistles, underestimation, interruption, and discounting of my views--based on my gender.... All those episodes are bubbling to the surface--and only ignite my admiration for the strength HRC has shown (and will HAVE to continue to manifest), on behalf of ALL OF US.

May we all earn the celebration so very due, AND continue to have her back--no matter who we supported in the primaries. Special hugs to all of HOF!
