If it helps anyone -- I use the same POD T-shirt company the Daily Tism are using for my own podcast's merch, and I have significantly more fabric sensitivities than Sara and still find them comfortable.

It’s very important that you all know that mid-writing this article, I went upstairs for something and on my way back down, MISSED THE BOTTOM STAIR despite the fact it was all I was thinking about. Can only assume it was a warning. Pray for me.

The stair, which vanishes from your memory whenever you forget to actively concentrate on its existence, was ruled to be maliciously attempting to murder you, having deemed you unworthy of treading on it.
