By early November this shirt will be worn out.

By that time it will be in tatters, and I will have had so much fun wearing it.
The uninitiated will be clueless.
And my peeps will just call me "weird" in a good way.
BTW are the letters big enough?

we have the International Black Theatre Festival here every other year, and I bought it at their market of booths with fabulous things yesterday.
I was the only person there, among probably 500 - 700 who was not black. I figured myself to be albino. I bought that shirt, and a gorgeous bag made by a man from Senegal, and some earrings.
If I go again I'll get you a business card for the source.

I went to two plays, all sold out to where additional chairs needed to be brought in, and those shows are all over this town. It is a true festival that rocks our city's black population and they come from all around. I hosted 2 friends from Charlotte......

(though everybody says the right thing about how old I LOOK)
and I have no second thoughts along those lines. We are, after all, Wisdom with legs.

Edited to add that unless I change my mind I have been white since birth.

and she was only promoting white heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she white or is she Black?”

Sorry, couldn’t resist! I love this shirt!!

I could talk a long time about coming to this country a hair before 20 years old in 1964 and the folks I met here in the South trying to infuse prejudice against people of color.
I had come from Germany. I told them my country did not own up to what they did, so I had to leave. Don't bother, I said. It's not my fault that Germans are white. Color is beautiful

🤔 As per my former partial Graphic Design career that looks to be around a
360 pt typeface. About 6 inches tall.
(type fonts have their own specific measuring system)

Yup, big enough. 😄👍

ETA:
after another look, see. Maaaaybe closer to 4 inches = 240 points.
Still... BIG! 👍
