I think Kristin did they are estimated g 500,000 or 750,000 in LA
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
the march I went to, in a smaller city (123,000) had maybe 1000 people. Good diversity and good amount of men. There was a 5 person counter protest which seemed to be anti-gay, not necessarily pro-Trump. The counter protest was odd and pathetic.
Home now.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes. LAPD says 500,000, but NBC La is estimating 750,000. And I can believe it! It wasn't so much a march as a shuffle! It was utterly amazing, though. I'm on cloud 9 and filled with fierce determination, pride in my city, and hope.

I was very briefly at the women's march in Halifax.(It wasn't so much a march as a rally, since everyone just gathered in our Parade Square.) I arrived late and my friend had already been there for a couple of hours and was freezing, so we didn't stick around for much longer. I heard estimates that there were around 1000 people there.

oh, they are actually estimating more like 2000. They had printed 1200 schedules and ran out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everything was bananas. In Boston, I didn't actually march, because they had like five times as many people as originally expected and there was no good way to get to the march route. So after an hour we just left. And marched across the bridge! As it was 100% full of people coming from there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Pop. -100K here, and somewhere upwards of 6,000 showed up to march (some FB posts claim 10K). It's a college town, so lots of students, but a good proportion of older women, and men, and a visible percentage of First Nations folk.
Seattle, of course, will be much larger.
ETA: Could I ask a huge favor, and pay a knitting Buffista for yarn and labor? A Canadian friend is begging for a pink acrylic p*ssy hat, and I don't knit!

Our wings are not tired.
Seriously people, I am suffering from emotional whiplash! After the despair of yesterday I am giddy today. Full of love for the millions that showed up at marches. 10,000 in Miami and 7,000 in West Palm Beach apparently.
I don't know what it means for tomorrow, or next week, but today is the first time I have felt hope in months.

I feel exactly the same way, Laura.
