♦The true cost of $9.00 shirts...  (Please remember that when you buy, you use your money to vote for something. Choose wisely.)
♦Real talk about Queer folks and sex (Tip: don't ask overly personal questions, its rude)
♦A climate of control, rape, and violence:

• "A woman is beaten every nine seconds in this country. Just to be clear: not nine minutes, but nine seconds. It’s the number-one cause of injury to American women"
•  "there is a backlog of about 400,000 untested rape kits in this country—rapists who impregnate their victims have parental rights in 31 states."
• Here in the United States, where there is a reported rape every 6.2 minutes, and one in five women will be raped in her lifetime
