It's super-light DTG ("Direct-To-Garment") printing, but it's all done on tissue-paper-thin white material (order a green shirt? It's a white shirt sprayed green!)

29.05.2025 14:08 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Agreed. I'm not saying to be unilaterally docile and nice. I'm saying that maybe a constant stream of snark and vitrol might not be as productive in the greater cultural conversation as one might think. Then again, social media is not a conversation, but a broadcast, so I should probably STFU...

Unfollowed. If you can't make your argument without ad hominems, you have really weak rhetorical skills...
Yeah. It's easy to go down that road again (and again) and feel oh so superior, but I just feel strongly that we need to stay above that. Even when Rome is burning, rhetoric matters...
22.05.2025 02:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I get you, but fat-shaming is still pretty sh!tty. There are better ways to make your argument, and even better ways at both irony and satire. Maybe stay above this...

Wait, can I say that anymore? I didn't mean for it to come out all creepy...
Yeah, I'm with those who think they do. I think of the first phrases that come to mind, and they're "thoughtless dick," and "mean prick," so for me, the former is mostly selfish, and the latter is mean-spirited. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

The Great Gatsby
(April 10, 1925).
A beautiful sunset in the backgroundโthe edges of two opposing cliffs in the foreground, with the shilouette of a person joyfully leaping from one clif to another. The text reads: "Never fear the leap of faith. The inevitable, abrupt, and exceedingly painful stop the ground insists upon? TOTALLY different thing..."
Stopping's always been my problem...

A black & white image of a very old closed wooden door with a ring handle on it in an old stone wall. The text reads: "When one door closes, other doors are entirely unaffected, because that's not how physics works, you pinhead."
Perceive this...
#ToxicPositivity #Toxic-Positivity
The shilouette of someone standing against a beautiful sunset, arms upstretched in triumph. The text reads: "If you find yourself going through hell, strap in, because there's more layers to this fucker than a five pound onion."
It's like an onion...
