Got up at fuck-all o'clock this morning to go into Washington DC for the Women’s March on Washington with @twistedangelsays . I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out.
Wish us luck, babes, and do not go gentle.
GODDAMN, everybody.
Conservative estimates for the DC March are at half a million people, and I was one of them, and godDAMN it was fucking amazing. There were people watching the rally from the trees, from monuments, from the tops of police barriers (myself and my bestie among them), DC was literally a fucking jungle gym for 500K diverse, outspoken, passionate people. It was a joy to see everyone turn out in solidarity, and I’ve never been part of such a massive, kind, good natured group of people. Shout-out to the two lesbians who made sure I didn’t fall off my perch when someone bumped me and to the guy who let me use the top of his head as a prop to get down when the march started.
Watching the protesters lay their signs at the doors of the Trump hotel as they marched home was a fucking joy.
And finally, the most popular (and personal favorite) chant: “We will not go away, welcome to your first day!”
I just watched fucking history happen and it was the most empowering thing I’ve seen in…a long time.
