Today is a pretty dark day. I mean, when your incoming president plagiarizes a comic book supervillain in his inauguration speech, it's tough not to feel like the apocalypse is at hand. Writer Ann Friedman, like so many of us, was feeling a bit bummed by today's historic transfer of power when she boarded her plane to Washington, D.C. this afternoon — en route to tomorrow's Women's March. But she quickly realized she was far from alone.
Boarding my flight to D.C. I was so depressed until I looked up and realized every other passenger is a woman. LET'S FUCKING DO THIS.

Do you know what its like to be on a plane completely full of fired-up women? This is like drugs. Incred. (Shoutout to the lone dude in 26C)

Because if you thought a bunch of political women marching in support of their inalienable human rights was inspiring, you've clearly never been part of a bunch of political woman flying through the air in a contained vessel with bonus access to alcohol in support of their inalienable human rights.
Of course, Friedman couldn't miss the opportunity to live-tweet her #AllLadyPlane experience. Even the flight attendants joined the pussy-power celebration.

Update: #AllLadyPlane is now out of wine, and the male flight attendant is wearing a pink knitted pussy hat.

Ever the conscientious tweeter, Friedman did acknowledge that her particular plane of nasty women was disappointingly white — as is, by the way, the majority of the Women's March's celebrity lineup. But the March organizers have so far done a reasonable job of addressing their own mistakes, so we hope the event itself will have a diverse turnout. Friedman hopes so, too.
Yes, the women on this plane are overwhelmingly white. I noticed that, too. I hope tomorrow's march is as diverse as its leadership.

Until then, at least we've now witnessed a girl-power live-tweet for the record books. Stay nasty, ladies.
Flight attendant announces, "Welcome to Washington ladies, gentlemen, and Nasty Women!" This concludes our flight on the #AllLadyPlane.
