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.

Even in Europe, meanwhile, there is a demand for sizes beyond 3XL!
Lots of people in Europe wear size Obelix, AKA 5XL / 6XL.
@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.
@Gargron No 3XL for tall people?
@madalex How tall? I’m 185cm and L fits nicely. There’s a size chart on the page with all the measurements.
Sorry that I have to ask, but where's the chart?
The short version of the problem is that we're not all built the same. Eg. it's not how tall you are, it's length of your spine.
For example, when I was thinner and used M-shirts (and lower waist was in fashion for jeans), my belly button used to come out if the shirt was less than around 80 cm tall. It's even worse now, as people are less keen seeing my belly, and sizes bigger than M are for those thicker, but not taller.
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
