I’m watching Helen Clark giving her valedictory statement to Parliament right now and shedding a couple of quiet tears. It was a huge deal to have her as our first elected female prime minister, and have her be such a staunch feminist and believer in human rights. Luckily our loss is the world’s gain now she’s off to the UN.

If my room wasn’t so messy, I would be wearing this badge right now (and secretly to work every day). You can buy these badges at Madame Fancy Pants, I do believe.
