I've been on a trip down memory lane... The world has changed, but oh, I remember those days. Have been listening to this one on repeat for days:

Watch on YouTube

("But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.")

Watch on YouTube

Good luck America. ♥ Goodness knows we could use some hope over here...

If you’re in a 500-person conga line screaming in victory with honking traffic, STAY IN LINE

ALSO THIS BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

History will record that this was Donald Trump’s last tweet before he lost the 2020 presidential election #Election2020 https://t.co/Wr5rIbMRyh

ETA2: Damn. This is powerful.

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.#PresidentBiden #VotersDecided pic.twitter.com/h8YgZK4nmk

They were dancing in the streets in New York City. In my neighborhood, people line up along Ocean Parkway and Church Avenue - a major cross section, with noise-makers, and cheered on passing cars - who honked and cheered in response for about two hours. Then people went to Prospect Park and partied. Times Square was filled with people celebrating. Fort Green, Brooklyn's streets were packed. And in front of the White House on the newly renamed Black Lives Matter Parkway, People were celebrating.

It was amazing.

And tonight, I listened to Biden and Harris's President Elect speeches - and it was such a relief to hear someone who was coherent, kind, unifying, professional, who could speak in sentences, didn't insult anyone, and didn't make me want to cringe or run screaming out of the room.

I was glued to all the little videos on Twitter, such wonderful and spontaneous joy. You all deserve it!!

One day, we will get someone like that too... *looks at Boris and sighs* Ah well, I'll live vicariously through your new leaders.
