I'm retired and at age 80 I'm not too concerned about what anyone else thinks about me or what I'm wearing. I wear khaki trousers and T-shirts, sneakers or Crocs.

I went on Amazon some time ago and bought a few T-shirts all displaying slogans.

"NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL." I have four of these, two have the slogan in English and Spanish. I get a LOT of thumbs-up, "I like your shirt" comments.

"Let justice roll down like a river and righteousness like a mighty stream" -- Amos 5:24. Get a lot of likes for this one.

"Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere" -- MLK. LOTS of thumbs-up for this one.

"Pro-America, Anti-Trump" some people have asked where they could get one of these.

"Veteran. Not a loser or a sucker." Most folks don't understand this, but those who do love it.

Saw a dermatologist the other day and when she saw my "WOKE, it's not the insult you think it is" T-shirt [View all] Eliot Rosewater Sep 2025 OP

Sounds to me like she didn't want to engage in the discussion professionally bucolic_frolic Sep 2025 #1

You're most likely right and it's understandable in a professional setting. Maybe she'll be at a protest rally! Deuxcents Sep 2025 #2

Didn't see her at the protest today when I went but Eliot Rosewater Sep 2025 #4
