Vatican Italian, part 1 on boxier fits (for men) T-Shirt – Not Pope Francis out there teaching me new words in Italian! And whereas *that* queen chose a decidedly crude word to describe gay men being gay men, I chose to instead celebrate it. Gaiety Forever!

Pride in Chrysanthemums
Pride in Chrysanthemums
Pride in Chrysanthemums on boxier fits (for men) T-Shirt – I often take inspiration from traditional Japanese patterns. Chrysanthemums symbolize beauty and elegance and for me, the connection of that symbolism to the queer life I long to lead, one of inner beauty and mental elegance, is profound. The rainbow gradient of colors is inspired by the 1979 version of Gilbert Baker's Pride flag (the six-color version we all recognize today).

I Love the People in my Phone on boxier fits (for men) T-Shirt – I get it. Interacting with other humans is rough in the real world. It's easier when they exist on screen. Parasocial relationships are the ones we have with people in media products, from television shows to TikTok videos. And some days, a relationship you can turn off with the press of a button is ideal.

Pixel Pride (Six-color Pride) on boxier fits (for men) T-Shirt – Thank goodness that Pride has been around long enough to have so many iterations. In this new series, I'm going to present Pride colors as rows of pixel-based hearts. The six-color Pride flag dates back to 1979, forty-five years ago.
