I thought about buying this shirt but the truth is that I'm always an angry feminist, and I don't want people to think that that is dictated by other people. ALL ANGER, ALL THE TIME. I was looking for a back-up "My Marxist Feminist Dialectic..." t shirt because mine, like so many of my t shirts, has unsightly deodorant build-up in the armpits. Threadless has discontinued those of mine I like best, or switched to those thinner shirts, and all of those that I have developed holes very quickly. (I still wear them. I have little to no class.) Now I am in Cairo I can wear t shirts again! I hadn't thought of that when I moved - partly I forgot I won't have unexpected client meetings, and partly I hadn't realised that I could be as immodest as to show off my upper arms, but it seems that that will be acceptable, so all to the good.

I am also browsing Modcloth for utterly impractical dresses, ebay for Pepperberry/Bravissimo and Birkenstocks, and starting to want ALL THE THINGS. I treated myself to a lay morning in bed that is turning into an afternoon in bed as well, which I think I rather needed.

Because I spent the weekend removing deodorant build-up from handwash jumpers, this can be achieved fairly easily through soaking in fairy liquid and then rubbing, and if necessary a stiff brush.

I have tried oxiclean paste and stiff brush, plus vanish pre-soak and many other things - the deodorant is well and truly embedded.

Love your version of Clovember.

Also, your journal helped me answer a question on University Challenge yesterday :-)

Ah, brilliant! What were the questions? If they were about any of the DeLuises or Keira Lovely Knightley I might expire with happiness. And then be jealous I never got those questions.

Sadly not. One of the answers was Juba. My previous iggnorance astound me.

Have you seen this one? It's on my "stop buying books long enough to buy some clothes you idiot" wish list, along with this shirt.

I LOVE the radical feminist agenda one! Except SW/TERfs have ruined the term for me, so I'd need one with an asterisk to a footnote saying "it's trans-inclusive and sex worker supportive!".
