I’m a black man carrying the stars and stripes. What don’t I understand? Every time I pick this up, I know there are millions of people out there who are gonna hate me for it. Even now, here, I feel it. The stares, the judgment. And there’s nothin’ I can do to change it. Yet I’m still here. No super serum, no blond hair, or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better. We can’t demand that people step up if we don’t meet them halfway. Look, you control the banks. Shit, you can move borders! You can knock down a forest with an email, you can feed a million people with a phone call. But the question is, who’s in the room when you’re making those decisions? Hmmm? Is it the people you’re gonna impact? Or is it just more people like you?

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”

Words to replace said, except this actually helps
I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

You hate yourself so loudly. You hate yourself at the top of your lungs. Your loathing for yourself permeates your speech. “Sorry I’m just rambling.” “Don’t worry about it.” “Just ignore me.” “Sorry if I’m annoying you.” “Sorry I don’t make sense.” “Sorry about that.” Sorry, sorry, sorry. You act as if you have to beat everyone else to the punch. As if the punching bag is you. If you hate yourself first, if you hate yourself loudest, then nobody will hurt you. You clapped your hands over your ears and shut your eyes and balled yourself up so that you’d never have to experience people’s loathing for you. And it meant you never heard their love. You drowned it out. You screamed your hatred over it. And you never got to hear it.

Sherlock DIY shirt
I want to share this because the result is great, although it is ridiculously easy and fast to make this!
All you need is:
1. a design, 2. a shirt, 3. some self-adhesive foil, it doesn’t need to stick very well, just stay in place as close to the fabric as possible, 4. a fine line-permanent pen (for transferring the outline onto the stencil foil) and 5. textile spray colour (I used Marabu ‘Fashion Shimmer’ Spray, silver and blue).
Making this took me about half an hour.
First, transfer your design to the foil by sticking both to a window to see through.
I then used a sharp and pointy pair of scissors to cut out the stencil.
It is also advisable to iron the shirt.
Then I transferred the stencil to the shirt and created the roof’s edge by using scotch tape. I covered the complete bottom of the shirt with old paper.
I was careful with the spray not to overdo it, just wanted the silhouette to be visible.
So I gave the silver paint only four pushes from a distance of about 30-40 centimetres, and the blue one three.
It is advisable to try this out on a paper before spraying on the fabric to see how one needs to do it to create a thin misty spray.
The colour shouldn’t collect on the foil so much is could spill over.
After the paint had completely dried, I removed the foil and scotch tape, then put it in the oven to fixate it.
I was careful and therefore will be able to use the stencil again; I cleaned it and put it back on the back it came with for storage.
One mistake I made with this is visible on the left side, where you can see a vertical slightly darker line in the spray, it is because the shirt was not lying completely smooth while I sprayed. I put 2 pieces of cardboard inside the shirt to prevent the colour to soak through but the bump caused the line, so make sure this lies absolutely flat.
Also, the spray travels quite far, it is advisable therefore to cover your workspace thoroughly.
Remember that stretchy fabrics might deform a design when worn, chose the position wisely. I put mine here on the back side.
This was the first try I gave this colour spray, it is marvellous. I love it.
The name is 'Marabu Fashion Shimmer’, but there is also a version for light fabrics called 'Marabu Fashion spray’, which is a bit cheaper and has a wider choice of colours – BUT the latter one is not suitable to use it with stencils, it will crawl under the foil and ruin a design like this, so make sure you get paint that does not dissolve.
If you can’t or don’t want to use a spray, you can of course use any other textile colour, thin it down and then use an old toothbrush and a tablespoon to spray the paint, but it is much more of a mess and much more trying out the right texture of the liquid and avoid larger spots.
I am not a native speaker, this might be a bit hard to read or lacking the right words, feel free to make suggestions how to improve this text.
If you make a shirt, I’d love to see a pic it.
