(no subject)
i can't stop bursting into tears of joy (literally) for the history that we are alive to witness. I'm so excited for everyone who has felt the death grip of the old white republican hand around our necks. No one knows better then you that i'm not a black woman but i am excited as a woman period, as a fat queer woman who has felt the cold hard slap of discrimination herself (not that i'm comparing struggles i'm just scarcely relating) i'm ecstatic that my best friends grandparents Alma and Richie get to see this day with their own two eyes as two people who i know lived through the trenches. I'm excited for her little brother and my other best friends son who's birthday is tomorrow who may just have hope that one day they can be president because its happened before. i'm sad for his father who was a black man and was killed violently a few years ago and isn't alive to see this day, I'm excited for my mother who hasn't voted in a long time and never cared at all but who I registered on the very last day you could and who although she has no car and sometimes can barely get off her couch because shes so depressed and/or in a lot of pain knocked on a lot of her neighbors doors to hitch a ride to the polls and cast her vote for Obama. I'm excited for my friend who has never voted and comes from a long line of non-voters, bigots, hate mongers and just plain white trash who went to the polls and voted for Obama. I'm excited for the people in PA who are now a blue state as well as the people in Virginia, FLORIDA and Indiana. I'm excited for the woman of these states who are said to have made these states turn blue with their vote.I'm excited for me and Neeq my best friend and sister,who as little as 35 years ago would not be able to call each other family, or best friend because she is black and i'm white.. Sorry this is so long i'm just really hopeful. A feeling i haven't felt in atleast 8 years.
