I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then, I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. And I learned that inside every one of them, there will always be both. A choice each must make for themselves. Something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know, that only love can truly save the world. So I stay, I fight, and I give, for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever.

Needed this advice today (this week/month/year) from Pema Chodron.

“It’s easy to forget now, when we’ve come so far, where now marriage is equal under the law—just how much courage was required for Ellen to come out on the most public of stages almost 20 years ago. Just how important it was not just to the LGBT community, but for all of us to see somebody so full of kindness and light, somebody we liked so much, somebody who could be our neighbor or our colleague or our sister challenge our own assumptions, remind us that we have more in common than we realize, push our country in the direction of justice. What an incredible burden that was to bear. To risk your career like that. People don’t do that very often. And then to have the hopes of millions on your shoulders. But it’s like Ellen says: We all want a tortilla chip that can support the weight of guacamole. Which really makes no sense to me, but I thought would brighten the mood, because I was getting kind of choked up. And she did pay a price—we don’t remember this. I hadn’t remembered it. She did, for a pretty long stretch of time—even in Hollywood. And yet, today, every day, in every way, Ellen counters what too often divides us with the countless things that bind us together—inspires us to be better, one joke, one dance at a time.” —President Obama awarding the Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor, to Ellen DeGeneres yesterday, along with 20 other Americans who have contributed to their fields.

15 important jobs women have yet to hold in the US

Women have held many roles that were previously reserved for men, but there are still more firsts to accomplish.

By 10:30 AM, a thousand people had already visited Susan B. Anthony gravesite.

Beginning before dawn and extending through midday, huge crowds queued to pay their respects at Susan B. Anthony’s headstone in Rochester’s historic Mount Hope Cemetery.

One by one, they stepped forward to place their “I Voted Today” stickers on Anthony’s time-worn headstone — partaking of an Election Day tradition that has gained new meaning with the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, the former senator from New York, who could become America’s first female president before the day ends.

Full Frontal's official endorsement of the baddest bitch ever to run for president.

Today I'm wearing white to honor all the women who came before me, making it possible to have the opportunity to vote for a woman to be president of these United States. For the suffragettes who marched, the women who tried to get their name on ballots before women could even vote, for Seneca Falls, Susan B. Anthony, for Margaret Sanger and all the women they empowered. I'm wearing white for the first women legislators, governors and attorneys general. For women who had to do everything men do but backwards and in high heels just to get ahead. For the nasty women. For bossy girls. For every woman who's been told she couldn't. I #WearWhiteToVote because #imwithher. Now get out and do your civic duty! Vote!
