You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

@Gargron that is a GOOD slogan. However I have no intention of paying £12 for shipping. That’s outrageous and inexcusable.
@Gargron what you need to do is to licence the design to somebody like Teespring who print locally and therefore can offer low shipping fees. You’ll make more sales that way. Personally I’m not paying 40% extra for shipping, it’s ridiculous.
@gulfie If you don’t want to pay for shipping, fair. But places like Teespring do not screen print, and don’t offer such control over the fabric (they usually have their own supplier that you don’t get to choose). So no thanks. I’ll keep it bespoke as long as I can.
@Gargron that’s fine but you need to find a way to bring your shipping charges down
@gulfie I can’t magic Brexit away. This is how much DHL charges to send a tracked package from Germany to the UK. It probably doesn’t make sense for a single t-shirt, but if you’re buying more stuff that cost stays flat.
I feel like as soon as I put this shirt one of my sex positive ho friends is gonna ask for help with their OF account.
@JoBlakely @dopatwo I’m sorry, I still don’t have the green light to ship to Canada.
@Gargron just ordered my shirt! 🙂
@Gargron There is another design coming, so if you want to save on shipping, it might be worth waiting a bit.
@Gargron why does Mastodon support the French navy
