T-Shirt Advocacy

Rainy weekends are good for reading, but also for closet-cleaning. This weekend, I tackled my T-shirt collection and sorted by theme. One theme is reading, literacy, and libraries. Some shirts are over-sized for workouts at the YMCA, while others are right-sized for shopping, walking, and visits to my local library. Here is an inventory:

Black and Grey T-shirts:
READ (typewriter keys) nourish your mind
Read, Rock & Roll, and Recycle. Avoid Extinction. (Phil Yeh, Cartoonists Across America)

Orange, Peach, and Pinkish T-shirts:
