Earlier this year, I came across an original (No. 196 of 32,000+) hidden inside a copy of Vebjørn Sand’s “Becoming A Man” (2006). 2nd slide shows the exact page… had me in tears in the middle of the bookstore. 🥲

Becoming A Man: After moving from Norway to NYC in 2000, Vebjørn began working on a series of paintings that examined modern Western masculine ideals, those that “only address ego, greed, and ambition. It is an absence of visions beyond themselves.” 🚹

Thank you Fred Cray for your dedication to “weaving disruption & serendipity into the fabric of the city”. Finding this photo gave me hope at a time when I needed it most, and inspired me to take a more radical, grassroots approach in my own life.

Photo & book are both not for sale - just wanted to share✌🏼💣

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! ⚖️

Photograph & quote are from a 1963 Black Muslim Rally in NYC. The tee itself was printed in the late 90s - early 00s… by far one of the most detailed Malcolm X bootlegs I’ve come across & the best $5 I’ve spent this year haha

Lilith Fair (founded by Sarah McLachlan & co. in 1997) broke barriers as the first music festival with an entirely female-centered lineup, challenging industry norms and the unequal treatment of women in music. The haters/gatekeepers said it couldn’t be done, but in its first year, Lilith was one of the highest grossing festivals worldwide, raising over $10 million for charity from 1997 to 1999. 💃

Brandy Hellville🤮

Only posting this to say F🤬CK fast fashion & F🤬CK Ayn Rand

Tbh I had no idea what Brandy Melville was when I first found this shirt - or that the CEO was trying to use fast fashion to spread weird objectivist propaganda to young girls on tumblr & IG… but hey, that’s business, baby!

I think this tee was prob made closer to 2009 when the brand came to the US - looks like they switched to screenprinting/using even cheaper “John Galt” tags at some point after.

Fits child-sized, as expected (13.5” x 15.5”)

$15 shipped to whoever wants to rock this one ironically🫶🏼 lol
