An oddity about one of my articles has me scratching my head, but also feeling a little lifted

As the title and photo suggest, I’m trying to figure something out.

Just recently I published an article entitled I Say “The Yea” to Two Women, and The Kentucky Governor and Legislature. The first part of the article can be called an ode or anthem to two strong women who have made history in America; and appreciation of women in general. The other part was praise for an act of bipartisanship in Kentucky, that resulted in a bill designed to increase voting access; while most of the country is going the other way.

I liked the article, and enjoyed writing it, under the influence of two examples of shiny and bright hopeful events.
