Yesterday, after reading all of your comments—thanks for those—and during a long Greyhound bus ride from New Hampshire to New York City, and then a late bus to New Jersey, I thought more about the Covid commemorative t-shirt idea. I want to go with this:
I had a few times where I was forced to wear one, including on a brutally humiliating flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles where I was threatened with being kicked off (I covered my eyes and everything with a silk scarf so I could breath under it). I also could not even buy food at most shops in Thailand during the height of mask frenzy, though some were sympathetic enough to allow me to stay out front on my motorbike while my husband or daughter went inside. It came up a few times regarding my visa to stay in Thailand and I count myself blessed that I had no need for medical care, which was by default off limits to me. I was threatened with arrest and deportation over not wearing a facemask. My only saving grace was a few sympathetic Thai police. I can forgive and sympathize deeply with all of those whose personal circumstances placed them in horrible positions....
I like it! I've done a lot of t shirts for teams, etc and call me high maintenance but I'll happily pay more for a better quality tee - especially a ladies fit option - rather than the basic scratchy heavy cotton with the big boxy fit for men. Just my 2 cents. :)
I like it too but I can't honestly wear it because I did mask up; at the grocery store,at the dentist/doctor office, Walmart, Home Depot, even at the hair salon. I resented it deeply but I didn't resist.
I tried hard not to mask but a few times a manager in Costco followed me and made me put it on. As soon as he left I took it off! The only time I masked was in the community cancer center where my husband is a patient. I just didn’t want to cause waves for my husband who is very Ill with metastatic liver cancer. It just wasn’t worth it. But I do live in a small town in California and there were lots who were anti mask so it made it easier.
I know you are getting all kinds of suggestions, Mark. What do folks prefer- writing on the front or the back? I prefer back, so others can read when I’m walking in front of them or on the treadmill. But, then again, I might get attacked from behind by a Covidian!
HERE IS THE Tshirt I made personally and was wearing everywhere. I made it in the Fall of 2020. I had TROUBLE finding someone to make it bc almost everyone said it "violated their standards" YES they actually said that and refused to make this.
I had many people start convos with me over this. I was kicked out of places... REI sports store. several supermarkets. I was denied a MRI scan of my back b/c I went to the imaging center wearing this shirt even though in THAT instance I actually was wearing a mask b/c I have a back lumbar spine and needed an MRI....
I will never forget that we lived though a totalitarian psychosis.
99 percent of covid was just a weaponized terror campaign waged by the dem party ( like Lenin did) to seize and hold power by scaring the shit out of people.
Its a picture of the t shirt i made . I cant post pics so I shared it on my google drive. Also another pic for a another design and a link to a page about the nabla system
Bravo! Oh there were such dark days in the winter of 2021 especially, if I'd seen someone wearing that in the grocery store, or wherever, I would have come up and said, can I shake your hand? Thank you for standing for real science and for decency.
It was like living in an insane asylum. In the original planet of apes movie w charlton heston theres a scene were he the main character is bound in chains and being hosed off and he screams… “its a madhouse”
In fall of 2020, At the gym where inused to go they were making ppl wear masks while they were on treadmills and stairmaster… how epically stupid and i kept taking mine off and the management called the police. The police came and threatened to arrest me if i either didint leave ot refuse to wear a mask. I got in the habit of carrying pocket US constitutions around w me and i balled out the cops , told them they were disgraces and got my bag and handed them a pocket consti and insisted they read it
I watched this.... brilliant. Even though I have lived my 55 years with just about ZERO trust in gov, I still had some microscopic hope that when push came to shove the local cops would actually "serve and protect" and protect the constitution ( which is their sworn function). BUT of course instead they just became brownshirted jackbooted thugs... the enforcement arm of the state.
In Nazi German when the racial laws were passed Jews had to wear arm bands and were forbidden to sit on park benches and ride in taxis etc...
THe MASK was the dem/prog equivalent of a MAGA hat or a swastika armband and cops were all total cowards... they were all just afraid of losing their jobs and cushy civil service inflated pensions. SO they just "did their jobs" and " followed orders"
this is what Hannah Arendt called the banality of evil
ANd you see how the cop questions the SANITY or mental fitness of the man challenging the mask rule.
THe soviets had political dissidents committed to mental institutions and ruled insane.
You see how the cop just sits in the car... the cop KNOWS its all BULLSHIT but the and so many others were too complacent and cowardly to stand up and say now.
MASS totalitarian psychosis took over.
I've lost total faith in law enforcement and all public institutions
I love it, but the unmasked part feels semi dishonest for me personally. I did (unenthusiastically) wear a mask at work and on airplanes. I wish I could say I refused that part 100%, but I kept my head down to stay employed and to take a vacation.
But we were vulnerable when it came to grocery shopping.
So, same with me, but I always wore it badly. Probably people thought that I was a bit hopeless and didn't know that it was meant to cover the nose. LOL
Oh and also! I used to take the bus and Amtrak trains all the time from California to Denver. I loved it. But....there are quite a few unsavory, scary looking men, riding. That said, people from all walks of life too and that’s thoroughly enjoyable.
I wore a mask to viist my Mom in the hospital. and on a flight. Put it below my nose at the first opportunity.
Otherwise,, no mask. I'm counting that as unmasked.

I know, they catch one unawares.
They have rehearsed, we have not.

Can you send me an example of this? Thanks.
For comparison, this is what most tee's look like : https://www.sanmar.com/p/152_Ash#?doScrollToGrid=true
Sorry I missed this lively conversation! Men....LOL So here's an example of what we ladies are talking about: https://www.sanmar.com/p/11022_DkHtGray#?doScrollToGrid=true
I just don't want my basement to be filled with the "wrong kind" of women's t-shirts.
Wet tee shirt?
Agree...as a ‘lady’ I prefer the “ladies fit” option, to the boxy unisex style T! And willing to pay a not more.
A "not more". LOL
Yes to ladies’ fit
Fit ladies. LOL
Ditto!!
I am a lady but I am boxy and carry all my weight in my boobs and gut so as long as there is a choice I will be ordering the men’s boxy style lol. 😃
I respect that! I'm just a little on the shrimpy side. haha A men's shirt looks ridiculous on me so I end up never wearing.
Yes to ladies fit! It would be extra special wonderful if the ladies T had a scoop neck. I love the message and the white on navy colors. Thank you!!
YES!!!
Agree! I’ll buy several
Great idea! I was thinking you could do it like a multi choice quiz Like Coronamania quiz:
Then list the words with a yes or no box beside it with all of the yes boxes checked, and the final grade at the bottom of 100 %:
Unmasked? YES Uninjected YES Unafraid YES
TEST SCORE: 100%
Just a thought. I'd buy either of them :)
I like it too but I can't honestly wear it because I did mask up; at the grocery store,at the dentist/doctor office, Walmart, Home Depot, even at the hair salon. I resented it deeply but I didn't resist.

Is it too lame to say “mostly unmasked”?
Yes, too lame.
If you avoided places that required masks, count yourself as unmasked.
Or maybe just with the uninjected and unafraid lines?
Good one LisaF
Does dilute the message a trifle.
I we wonder how those mask nazis justify their behavior today…..!
They were still there today.
I saw them.
Same here. I had to wear one to buy groceries, but I sure as hell made a stink about it before doing so......
My county made the store management legally responsible for enforcement.......
I know you are getting all kinds of suggestions, Mark. What do folks prefer- writing on the front or the back? I prefer back, so others can read when I’m walking in front of them or on the treadmill. But, then again, I might get attacked from behind by a Covidian!
There's no way to please everyone.
You right I wish I can get one for my husband...but he’s allergic to cotton 🤷♀️ he only wears 50/50. But I will try to get one 😉 for me. ❤️✌️🙏
So true!!!
You could wear your shirt backwards.
LOL
I prefer writing on the back too
Making me laugh some more Datagal.
I made almost the same comment
Nice and honest Marnie.
Depends where one lives, what one can get away with.
HERE IS THE Tshirt I made personally and was wearing everywhere. I made it in the Fall of 2020. I had TROUBLE finding someone to make it bc almost everyone said it "violated their standards" YES they actually said that and refused to make this.

Absolute LUNACY.... cowardice.... vicious mob mentality groupthink BULLSHIT!
I will never forget that we lived though a totalitarian psychosis.

I don't click on links.
What did it say?
On the front: MASKS DON'T STOP VIRUSES not even a little
On the back: Masking Children IS Abuse.
True and true
Now a days we would not promote *virus'*, but it was on point for old times.
I hate links too.
Only good as evidence after the up front information.
Its a picture of the t shirt i made . I cant post pics so I shared it on my google drive. Also another pic for a another design and a link to a page about the nabla system
Its just a shared pic
Why dont u click on links?
People tell me it spreads viruses.
As everyone knows, I'm all about stopping the spread!
And it's a big pain.
And we avoid pain.

Yes it really was like living in an insane asylum. THANK YOU for standing against the mask and for common sense and for freedom!
Here's one I haven't transcribed yet, but this guy's a hero to me, he also stood up to the cops about his rights.

Perfect, Mark! That’s my exact journey and I’d wear it boldly.
Mark
Sounds great. Count me in on a couple for sure. While one is in the wash, I will still have one to ware.
I can buy one of those for my sister, Mark. But I need one that says more like, “Pissed and profoundly regret i believed the psyop and got the jabs. “
‘Never again’ perhaps?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would love; FREEDOM OVER FEAR t shirt.
I love it, but the unmasked part feels semi dishonest for me personally. I did (unenthusiastically) wear a mask at work and on airplanes. I wish I could say I refused that part 100%, but I kept my head down to stay employed and to take a vacation.
Yes, airplanes. I had to fly for family medical reasons and also in hospital. So, there was that.
Me, too. But only that.
I used to walk maskless through stores that required masks and when people would say something, I waved them off.
Yes, when it didn't really matter.
But we were vulnerable when it came to grocery shopping.
So, same with me, but I always wore it badly. Probably people thought that I was a bit hopeless and didn't know that it was meant to cover the nose. LOL

Love it !!! I’m in!!!!
I may even get some for friends
You don't need that top line. Any reference to masks or injections immediately imply the C virus.
It is stronger to simply have the three words:
UNMASKED
UNINJECTED
UNAFRAID
That'll work!
Danny
Danny,
What size?
Thanks, Mark
