*mic drop*

Ugh, that’s one of the worst—most insidious, perhaps—catcalls, IMO. Because it’s not overtly sexual, the men who do it don’t have any clue how uncomfortable it is for the women they say it to.

Reblogging because tomorrow is the big day! As Deee Lite said,VOTE BABY VOTE!

UPDATE: as of right now Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight.com is giving Republicans a 74% chance of taking over the senate tomorrow.

Those numbers are based on polls and historic turn-outs. We can only stop this from happening if we get more people to show up and vote than would have shown up otherwise! Tell a friend, bring a friend, and VOTE!

VOTE! Make them eat those numbers!
