I posted first in the sewing sub, but I just saw this sub and I bet it's a better place for it.

But basically, I threw out my most favorite shirt for a very stupid reason and I managed to find a new one, but it's a smaller size.

I hate it so much. It doesn't feel right it doesn't look right, doesn't fit right. I'm genuinely very upset about it. I've stretched it all out, but it's still not right and the sleeves look so stupid and feel so wrong.

I'll let it out once I learn how to/have the materials. But for now I would love to just wear it out as quickly as possible so it feels a little better.

It's just a basic, cheap hot topic shirt. The back says 100% cotton. It's got a big picture on the front made out of that rubbery/plastic material. I have no issues with fading/cracking.

Thank you for any help. <3

I want to call attention to SB 87 in the Ohio Legislature that seeks to expand the definition of antisemitism. It has already passed the Ohio Senate and on its way to the Ohio House. The primary sponsor is Senator Terry Johnson (614) 466-8082 (cosponsors below).

The bill seeks to define antisemitism for specific purposes and to expand the offense of ethnic intimidation to include the offenses of riot and aggravated riot committed by reason of the race, color, religion, or national origin of another person or group of persons. Please take a look at the "Contemporary examples of antisemitism."

(26)(a) "Antisemitism" means a perception of Jewish people, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jewish people, directed toward Jewish individuals and non-Jewish individuals or their property or toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities in either rhetorical or physical form.

(b) Contemporary examples of antisemitism include all the following: 

(i) Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jewish people in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion; 

(ii) Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jewish people as such or the power of Jewish people as a collective, including the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jewish people controlling the media, economy, government, or other societal institutions; 

(iii) Accusing Jewish people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish individual or group, or for acts committed by non-Jewish people; 

(iv) Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms, or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of national socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II; 

(v) Accusing Jewish people, or the state of Israel, of inventing or exaggerating the genocide that occurred in Europe during World War II; 

(vi) Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jewish people worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations;

(vii) Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, including claims that the existence of a state of Israel is a racist endeavor; 

(viii) Applying double standards by requiring of Israel a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation; 

(ix) Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism, including claims of Jewish people killing Jesus of Nazareth or blood libel, to characterize Israel or Israelis; 

(x) Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazi regime; 

(xi) Holding Jewish people collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

And they're trying to sink their fingers in Ohio.

*URGENT ACTION: Opponent testimony scheduled Tuesday MAY 12th at 3pm*

*Script & state rep info in link*

HB 188 the Ohio‑Israel Trade and Innovation Partnership would create a broad, undefined framework for “bilateral trade and investment,” “policy issues of mutual interest,” “business and academic exchanges,” and “mutual economic support.” The bill also authorizes “mutual investment in the infrastructure of Ohio and Israel” and leaves open “other issues as determined by the partnership,” without specifying limits, oversight, or measurable benefits to Ohio.

The bill references “specific industries, emerging technology opportunities, and innovation clusters,” yet provides no clarity on which sectors would be prioritized or why. It also expands beyond bilateral cooperation by encouraging multilateral partnerships involving Israel and nations across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and Oceania, again without explaining how these arrangements would benefit Ohio taxpayers.

At no point have the sponsors provided projections, data, or concrete examples demonstrating what this partnership would deliver for Ohio or how outcomes would be measured.

Earlier versions of HB 188 included $10 million in appropriations, paid trips for representatives to Israel, and agriculture‑related language. These provisions were removed but could be reinstated at any time. Sponsor testimony continues to reference agriculture despite its removal from the bill text.
