You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother

Jo Kershaw @mthrjo.bsky.social · 1d

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

the 3 most common print types:

TOP: waterbase – soft print, might begin to fade after a few years

MID: plastisol – long-lasting, but ink is usually very thick. starts to crack and eventually flake after a few years

LOW: print on demand – cheap garbage, fades/flakes after a few washes

Anyway thank you for educating me and making a great product. I had countless t-shirt print just disintegrate. Yours never did.

Thanks a ton for the response ! dint know about water based ink and now it make sense. From a quick google I’m assuming the cheaper tshirt would just “crumble” away because ultimately they’re just a plastic film slapped onto the fabric so when the plastic flake off it lose all binding and disappear?

we actually own and operate our screen printer – Forward Printing – because they do some of the best printing in the business. one of the first (and best) domestic printers i ever found with the patience and skill to use waterbase inks + discharge agents to dye the prints right into the shirt

I don’t know how @fangamer.com find their T-shirt supplier. But out of all the merch I ever purchased, the dye used in their T-shirt prints are the most long lasting dyes I’ve ever seen. Had many tshirt just fade out over the years but theirs has just stayed alive forever. How?

Il y a 2 ans, j'ai trouvé que j'avais pas assez de boulot, et j'ai fait un projet avec la classe de CP de ma fille. Chaque élève a imaginé pourquoi il n'avait pas pu faire ses devoirs, et je l'ai illustré. Après, ça a donné un petit livre qui a été distribué à chacun.

I would love to know the decision making cause it can’t be as simple as “we’ll just dump money onto a supplier”. There must be a way to know beforehand beside “this supplier worked once we’ll keep using them forever”.

Jean-Baptiste Zeller @esurnir.bsky.social · 3d

I assume you don’t just give them a design and tell them “wash them in the dryer for 2000 wash cycles and expose them to sunlight for 200 days.” Is there some industry metric ? How can you trust them before the design goes to print? So many merch I got just died out in less than a year.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Hey, just to let you know your Bsky link on card doesn’t seem to work. You have bsky.app/profile/an-c... as a link and when you use it the bsky app just state he can’t find the link

The correct link seems to be :
bsky.app/profile/an-c...
It probably doesn’t like the final /.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

This voice sucks. It will lie it will cheat and will do anything in its power to make your life miserable. The people who hated you don’t matter, the people who still hate you aren’t in your life anymore with one exception: this voice in your head saying you’re hated and not cool enough

Stop the self sabotage ! One of the biggest Pokémon account out there said “this artist kicks ass more people should follow this artist” and added you to the starter pack of cool Pokémon artist he wanted to promote. Your art is cool, you should be proud of yourself. It’s the voice in your head,
