In a single visit to The Hideout at cafeGIANT @kenzvkenz.bsky.social filled this #tshirt with #handlettered titles of #bannedbooks

Femme wearing glasses and a knit cap holds up a white T-shirt with hand lettering in a rainbow palette. The words are the titles of banned books. In the background are stacks of tube TVs display color bars test patterns.
