T. shirt I designed this past summer

I drew the design and a friend's husband did the printing. I told them what text to add.

The message is clear. We are in for a rough 4 years... minumum.

Yes! When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money - Aurora

Actually that quote comes from Alanis Obomsawin, an Abenaki woman from Canada.

This is a quote from a song by an artist named Aurora which she also got from a Cree Indian proverb

Its the same thing

It would be a cool shirt if it was designed for you know - real concerns like hunting whales and not narcissistic reactions to something that will never directly affect you not going your way. You kind of diminish the issue of whale hunting, boat strikes, and offshore windmills in the Atlantic. (which were approved by the democratic administration). Good ahead and down vote me.

This shirt has nothing to do with Trump specifically or even whales. Its about the greed of men and corporations. It ties to whales and the history of whaling, but its a bit more abstract than that.

I'm not downvoting you, just explaining my design. Its art. It can be a bit more conceptual than literal.

Thank you for the explanation- my reaction was to your comment about rough next 4 years. That’s signaling to a specific event that has a lot of meltdowners. I stand by my concerns for the larger problems mentioned, especially the damage that will surely come from the install of the windmills in the Atlantic

Well yea but theres gonna be a LOT at stake the next 4 years, not just whales.

I also agree about wind turbines and Imma add desalination plants as another thing I oppose that California democrats are guilty of supporting.

The whale on the t-shirt is more a symbol for everything worth protecting that man's greed and indifference is harming

In what universe do you think it’s not a real world issue that affects real people?
