OK OK final version this time (i hope) ((please))

There's 5x7 INCH PRINTS in the SHOP

And soon there might be SHIRTS??

(I'm waiting for my shirt sample to arrive. Depending on the shipping time and quality I'll release it or look for a different print-on-demand place. I'm considering Bonfire if Printful doesn't work out.)

((Printful's prints are really nice though! It's just the shirts I'm testing))

i guess the gist of this piece is "continue to do what you like to do even if it is 'cringe' or unpopular [note: none of these things are unpopular by any stretch of the imagination] because living under fascism is hard" which is. fine? i guess??

but i promise you can be weirder than this. maybe, idk, foregrounding DIY shit & actually subversive queer art/zines/games/gatherings/etc. would make a stronger point about anti-fascist resilience than [checks notes] playing the most famous/mainstream TTRPG & "perusing Facebook marketplace for secondhand vintage furniture" (wow! so weird!)

oh for real? the "weird" "radicalism" of playing AAA games & buying pop-geek collectibles & knitting kitschy sweaters while drinking giant iced coffees from the chain with a store on every corner?

the weird little hobbies my weird little faggot friends have would make you hurl lmfaoooo
