Not sure it’ll work for a shirt (maybe with some editing?) but I’ll try it out… really I think it should be a poster or something!

Also, “more important things to do” in the last line might work better as “better things to do.”

(In big letters:)
“No, you watch my weight.”

(Smaller letters:)
“Watch it lift.
Watch it walk.
Watch it run.
Watch it bend.
Watch it kick.
Watch it move.
Watch it dance.
Watch it embrace.
Watch it care for others.
Watch it build.
Watch it relax.
Watch it eat tasty food with joy, without counting or obsessing.
Watch it take up as much space as it damn well wants to.
Watch it do things to feel good, not to get approval from strangers.
Watch it refuse your insane, narrow, racist beauty standards.”

(Bigger letters again:)
“Because I’ve got more important things to do than just watch.”

I’m so excited I think I squeed my pants.

Fillyjonk, I’m emailing you a picture of me in it – I hope you don’t mind, considering that I’m a complete stranger and all. :) But I’m just too excited not to!

I don’t know what I was smoking last night. APPARENTLY THE RULES OF NOT-READING THE INTERNET ALSO APPLY TO BIBLES OK

Like “look, we’re freeware, not Adobe! You can tell because Adobe is easy to use!”

But once I started using it more it got a bit easier.

Though I tend to find that open source graphics programs (and here I’m basing all my information on the Gimp) are kind of unnecessarily user-unfriendly, as a side effect of wanting to differentiate themselves from Adobe even though the programs have basically identical functionality.

In regards to quality, Cafepress is very good at making exchanges if the item is not right for any reason, which is one reason I went with them when I opened Purple Dusky Designs (http://www.cafepress.com/purpleducky) several months ago.

BTW, not sure what software you are using, but I highly recommend Inkscape, a really great Open Source vector graphics editor http://inkscape.org/ I’m not the best artist out there, but I have been having fun with this program and coming up with lots of neat designs using it.
