I honestly just feel bad for you?

<rant>

It’s a complete garbage apology. Minimizes and makes excuses for their indefensible actions and even worse, attempts to score political points using this story, which is the very thing they purport to be apologizing for.

Vaguely related: here is a sign I recently made to hold up in front of the anti-choice (and to no one’s surprise, anti-trans) zealots outside my local Planned Parenthood.

I think the thing that tickles me the most is that these people seem to believe that simply by passing a law - which is, let’s remember, a piece of paper with words upon it that somebody signs - we can stop everybody except cisgender women from entering ladies’ restrooms. Because that’s how this works - simply make

I would like “Not Today Mother Fucker” to be the answer to every request Trump makes until his term is up. I want a wall! NTMF. I want to steal from the poor and give to the rich! NTMF. Can I have KFC for lunch? NTMF!

“Hey, let’s use this story that has nothing to do with transgender people to try to scare people about transgender people.”

How would banning trans women from the women’s restroom prevent a man from hiding in a stall intending to rape a woman?

Yep or people who condescendingly tell me that I sound more British than South Asian.

Yeahhh, gotta say that their longtime habit of not listing the brand and renaming the style felt a little shady. I think they remedied this in recent years, but I remember the deep shame felt when a pair of shoes showed up at my doorstep and turned out to be by Jessica Simpson.

I feel like I have met a lot of white people who say authentic but they mean stereotypical. Like if you try to perform what feel authentic to you, they feel you are putting on an act and you have to conform to their manufactured ideas about authenticity or you are not living up to their standards.

This isn’t going to a popular opinion, but my husband works for Jet, it’s a cool company and on the whole is pretty good to it’s employees. To be honest from what I’ve been told nothing has really changed since they were taken over by Walmart.com. If anything Walmart.com (which is separate from Walmart the store) has

I found their sleeveless stuff to have a classic plus size problem-gigantic armholes, to the point of seeing the entire side of my bra. It was a common complaint in their reviews. For the price I hoped they’d get that right.

I’m gonna say it: ModCloth had such cute stuff, but the items were almost never worth it for the price.

I always WANTED to like modcloth more than I do. I’m not a thin person, and it was nice to be able to peruse their entire selection, not worry that I’d waste my time falling in love with a garment just to find out they don’t make it in my size. I love the way they set up their reviews, and I love how many of their

Until I see a drop in quality I’m probably going to keep buying from them. I like skirts and dresses with REAL pockets more than I dislike Walmart.

I refuse to shop at a company whose employees we have to support.

Such a huge bummer. As a plus-size clothes wearer, Modcloth has been of my go to’s because they have such cute products. I won’t continue to shop there if they’re owned by Walmart, though. I refuse to support a company that treats its employees so badly.

For a bit of context for non-lawyers, these are a discovery device known as Requests for Admission. They’re used to narrow down the issues before you get to settlement negotiations and/or trial so that the parties are focusing on the areas where they disagree. To get admissions like this so early in the process is
