If nothing else was going to get you out to vote, vote for her. If you were going to stay home because you didn't feel passionate, feel passionate for the justice who fought this long for equality, and fight.

That was a good king, in every sense of the old sense of it. She fucking rocked.

I am fucking crying over here, because you don't get to see heroes doing their work in public most of the time. But we got to see one. Now, I just. We have to fight.

Or, as Guy Gavriel Kay put it, a very long time ago:

You gave some latitude, Dave was thinking, to someone who’d sworn an oath like that, even if [her] style was more than occasionally jarring. You gave latitude because what [Maria] had done that evening was give voice, and not for the only time, to the mute rage in one’s own heart.

Take care of yourselves and each other out there.
