Shadows of Knight - I’m Gonna Make You Mine (1966)
Another great garage rock tune that I’d never heard until recently. Cool guitars and snarling vocals from Jim Sohns. (I do not condone the caveman level lyrics)
So be prepared
More you might like
you can lead a horse to water
you can leave your horse behind
but your horse can’t dance and if he can’t dance
Well, he’s no horse of mine
In a world of nightmares,
you’re a sweet, sweet dream…
just about the prettiest thing that I’ve ever seen.
I’ve been waiting so long for a girl like you to come by.
Tell me baby, will you be mine for 25 to life?
…I am most happy with a sketch we did on Portlandia, about a guy named Ghavin who has a professional recording studio at his house. He invites a friend over and gives him a tour of the place. Much of the dialogue is about microphones, drums, and the recording equipment used on the album Pet Sounds. That’s basically it. It is inspired by a friend of mine named Woody, who once gave me a tour of his home recording studio. I just love the fact that there is a sketch about microphones and recording engineers that exists out there on TV and online. Also, Jack White was in town while we were shooting, so we got him to be in it. A really nice ending to the piece. I felt very lucky.

A friend of mine was kidnapped and held hostage for the purpose of sex trafficking
She was afraid to call the police, not only because of what the kidnapper might do if she was caught, but also because she was afraid of being arrested
That’s right
A woman was kidnapped for sex trafficking and she was afraid to call the police
It took her 3 days of being held hostage before she finally called, thinking jail was better than her current situation, and guess what? SHE WAS ARRESTED.
The police arrested a victim of sex trafficking, because she called for help
This is what your anti-prostitution laws are doing. This is what you are supporting.

Finding Masculine Clothing in the Women’s Section
Kai says:
I have parents who only let me buy clothing from the women’s section, so I thought I would compile a list of places I know you can find masculine clothing in the women’s section for all the other transmasculine people who might be closeted or have parents like mine! If you know of any I’ve missed, please send an ask to my personal blog kaikev
Note that some of these stores/brands may be more expensive than others if they aren’t on sale. I also apologize in advance if these stores are not accomodating to plus sized individuals; I don’t have any experience with that and if anyone has suggestions for additions to these lists, please tell me!
Button down shirts/flannels:
- Uniqlo
- H&M
- GAP / GAP Factory
- Old Navy
- J. Crew / J. Crew Factory
- Anywhere you can find button down shirts/flannels
T-shirts:
- American Apparel
- Hot Topic
- Anywhere you can get unisex t-shirts (for example, custom designs or merchandise)
Pants (I recommend chinos because they tend to be less curve hugging and have bigger pockets):
- H&M
- RVCA
- Zumiez
- Pacsun
- Levi’s
- GAP / GAP Factory
- Adidas (they have track pants that are pretty masc/neutral)
- Generally chinos, joggers, track pants, and sweatpants are more neutral/masc and tend to have bigger pockets
Shorts (these are hard to find in the women’s section unless you can get athletic shorts):
- GAP / GAP factory (they have 9 inch or 10 inch shorts)
- athletic brands or stores for basketball shorts like Nike,
Adidas, Under Armour, Sports Authority, etc.
- Generally, basketball shorts are masc/neutral and have pockets
Jackets/Hoodies/Sweatshirts:
- Zumiez
- Pacsun
- H&M
- Old Navy
- Tilly’s
- Vans
- ASOS
- Athletic brands and stores tend to have masc/neutral jackets, hoodies, and sweatshirts (see above at Shorts section for links)
- Edit: outdoor stores/brands like The North Face, Patagonia, REI, etc. have a lot of neutral clothing in the women’s section.
Formalwear (specifically blazers/suits. If you’re looking for button down shirts, see the section above as well):
- J Crew / J Crew factory
- Nordstrom
- Wildfang
- ASOS
- Mango
- Old Navy (for blazers)
- Dr. Martens (for shoes)
- H&M (for slacks/pants)
- Blazers can range from quite feminine to very neutral, so it may take a while to find one you like. Suits might be easier to find in a neutral style, though they tend to be more expensive. For button down shirts, see above. Slacks/pants are not too hard to find as well.
Shoes:
- Vans
- Converse
- Adidas
- Dr. Martens
- Athletic brands in general, especially skate shoes tend to be masc/neutral/unisex
Swimwear (rash guards and boardshorts):
- If you search on Amazon, or online for women’s rashguards, there will be some that are more neutral. Kanu Surf brand looks a little more neutral, but I’m sure there are others.
- If you search for 9″, 10″, or 11″ board shorts for women, you can find neutral board shorts like this Volcom one and Rip Curl one
Binders/High compression sports bras:
- See our Transmasculine Resources for binders, though these are not from the “women’s” section, so transphobic parents might not let you buy it
- Underworks Magicotton Sports Bra and Binding Minimizer Bra (marketed for cis women as a sports bra, so potentially transphobic parents might let you buy it. If you check the reviews, many people use it as a binder)
- You can also find high compression sports bras from athletic brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, etc.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to send me more suggestions if you come across anything helpful - this post will probably be edited to add more links so check back every once in a while and reblog again for your followers and for updates!
Bobby’s just a friend of mine
he’s on his back
i’m on his mind
he wakes me when he goes to work
his hands are cold
his breath is smoke
i’d leave him for you
if you want me to
i’d leave him for you
if you want me to
i’d leave him for you
if you want me to
i’d leave him for you
if you want me to
