@dieworkwear As someone that studied pattern drafting I love this thread just for the drafting comments

HOW TO TELL IF A SUIT IS BESPOKE This suit makes me sad bc it's an example of the many ways custom tailoring shops upsell or misrepresent their services. On their site, this tailor says their suits are handmade and bespoke. But that's not really true. Here's how to tell 🧵

The “it’s differents” are already starting. MTF gets top surgery: “Wow, it’s gonna be so sad when the regret it.” 17 year old gets implants: “They can change it, right?… also what’s her number.”

As many of us join friends and family today to count our blessings, I urge us all to show our gratitude for the workers making sacrifices so that others can enjoy their Thanksgiving meals. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

A judge scolded right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Tuesday for lying under oath during his defamation trial in Travis County, Tex. “You must tell the truth while you testify,” Judge Maya Guerra Gamble said. “This is not your show.” wapo.st/3bvkz6f

Tomorrow, after years of advocacy by Americans working to improve our mental health system, 988 will become our new nationwide number for suicide prevention, mental health and substance use crises. Call or text 988 for a trained counselor who can provide support. #988Lifeline

I’m pleading with my Republican colleagues—please help us stop another day of patriotism, another math class, another trip to the grocery store from turning into a living nightmare by helping us pass an assault weapons ban.

@ThePlumLineGS Bad optics for GOP Republicans: GOP owns this ".. Texas ..doctors have been advised by the legal dept at her hospital to admit women with ectopic pregnancies & wait for them to rupture. At which time they can have about 7 min to save women before they bleed out.."

Since many lawmakers have no medical knowledge, nor do they consult with those who do, these laws are ill-defined. Consider the lawmaker who stated that ectopic pregnancies should not be ended but replanted. Dear reader, this is not possible.

These quotes from medical pros about the Louisiana abortion ban are brutal. One fears the “threat of prosecution for making critical, lifesaving decisions about how to treat patients with dangerous pregnancies and miscarriages.” More quotes here: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Just awful: Medical professionals in Louisiana just went on record saying the state's abortion ban will force them to choose between avoiding prosecution and treating pregnant women in grave medical danger. This is a major new front in the post-Roe wars: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.

Today of all days, I need everyone to understand this. This was never about preventing abortion, this is about controlling the bodies of non-men.

A global multi-year study by the Guttmacher Institute demonstrated that abortion bans do not decrease abortion rates—they increase the death of women by 21%, disproportionately low income and Black and brown women. SCOTUS disregarded all facts and logic for this deadly ruling.

Yesterday SCOTUS ruled that gun reform is not a "state's rights" issue. Today SCOTUS ruled abortion IS a "state's rights" issue. This SCOTUS has made a mockery of our rights and the justice system. It's far past time to abolish the filibuster and Expand The Court to 13.

BREAKING: Clarence Thomas just filed a concurring opinion to Dobbs calling for the court to consider overturning the right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and privacy in the bedroom.

Six unelected individuals just denied women all over America the right to make their own health care decisions. They did so after swearing to respect the Court’s decision in Roe. Congress must fight this in every way we can. Or this Court will return us to the Stone Age.
