HEY VERMONT! WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

vermont legislature overrode the veto. so now there are *four* states with marriage equality.

I'm not planning on relocating any time soon, but now there are three other places i could move to if needed without suddenly becoming a second class citizen. (well, three and a half if you count NY, which recognizes same-sex marriages but doesn't perform them.)

holy crap, this is also excellent news today.

very positive results from tests of a new ovarian cancer drug being tested.

*awesome*

ovarian cancer is difficult to detect and difficult to treat. i've been incredibly lucky, but a lot of women aren't.
