Senators who voted against Murphy’s proposal to expand background checks for those buying guns to require checks at guns shows and for online purchases. All but three also voted against Feinstein’s proposal to bar all gun sales to individuals on the terror watch list
In 2016, you can vote out twenty of these people! #2, 4, 5, 6, 15, 24, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 47, 49, 52, and 54 are all up for reelection. In addition, although #9, 45, and 55 are not running for reelection, you can push for their seats go to people who would vote for gun control.
The bolded numbers are competitive races – unfortunately, the others are highly likely to hold their seats. Still, that’s eight votes that could be shifted. Senators are the hardest people to unseat, so put in any extra effort you can!
So many R’s, so little time…
Democrats only need to flip five red seats to blue to regain control of the Senate. Also, every single seat in the House is up for grabs. Turn that blue, too!
so I was talking to the polish guy and because I didn’t know how to say ‘I’m going to the shops’ i guessed and said idę na sklepy and he started laughing but didn’t correct me so when it next came up I had to use the same phrase which made him laugh again and I finally asked him today what was the correct way to say it and why did he find it amusing and he said that to him idę na sklepy means kind of ‘I am going to conquer the shops!’ and that he imagined me standing on the shops refusing entry to people because I was controlling the shops and he said the reason he didn’t correct me was because he thought it was an interesting way of saying ‘I’m going to the shops’ and he didn’t want me to stop and that he wanted it to take off in poland
True story. Until I get the company shirt, my work uniform is a white polo. So I had to buy a white polo. Not a problem, right? Polos are just heavy jersey. Shouldn’t be an issue, even if it is white.
I went through four stores because every single white lady’s polo was see-through. See-through to the point where an onlooker could pinpoint the exact location of the bleach stain on my bra.
So, in a quiet rage, I finally went to the men’s section. Wonder of wonders, the men’s polos were not see-through.
WHY? WHY IS MY PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING NOT HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS OF OPAQUE-NESS AS MEN’S PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING?

I get most of my overshirts/jackets from the men’s section. For one, they have awesome jackets, and two— I have rather large breasts. I do not want something in cutsy glittery girly shit plastered across my chest, thank you. I get enough people that can’t look me in the eye.
my kingdom for a leather jacket with a decent curved waist
Bless this post.
Every fucking time I go out to look for a simple t-shirt, all I find are shirts that are super tight and uncomfortable for the sake of showing off your bust, have stupid sayings on them like “Lean, mean, sexy machine” (I have seriously seen shirts with those exact words), and have tiny fucking sleeves that don’t even cover your armpits (because we all have those days when we really don’t feel like shaving). Unfortunately for me, my mother thinks these shirts are cute and gets them for me constantly. :/
I will always buy my sweaters in the men’s section. Not only are they bigger and more comfortable, they’re actually made with better material. Apparently, you have to be male to merit fabric thick enough to actually keep you warm. Ever wonder why girls complain about being cold more often than guys? It’s not them. It’s their clothes.
Women’s clothing is designed to be rubbish so that they can buy more all the time.
Men’s clothes actually makes SENSE.
I have so many feelings on this topic, I need to stop now before I break something.
And don’t forget actual, functioning pockets.
I could probably write a fucking dissertation around the bullshit of women’s clothing and how it’s pretty much useless and overpriced, and even then you can only something that’s an approximation of “a fucking simple t-shirt” where the male equivalent is functional, easily accessible, and a price quote that won’t bankrupt you.
It will have 3 appendixes devoted to, in order, “Stupid cuts for jeans and how they are impossible to figure out store to store, let alone style to style,” “Why do people think all jeans need to adhere to your body like skin tight spandex, for gods sake sometimes I just want to wear pants that I can actually move in,” and “Girls Have Stuff Too: A look at why shallow pockets are a joke and “fake” are the stupidest fashion choice ever made.”
Fake. Fucking. Pockets.
Let’s not forget “sizes that make sense”.
Alas, wearing guy clothes when you’re a girl pretty much requires cis privilege. If you’re trans, presenting as anything but GIRLIEST GIRLY GIRL GIRL gets you constantly and aggressively misgendered “even” by people within the LGBT community, on top of most of us having an epic pile of psychological trauma from being forced to wear boy clothes growing up.
