Original pin from 1979 (Be warned some of the other pins are antisemtic >:[ )
Tumblr media
[ID: A photo of a pin button that is black with an upside down pink triangle in the center, and thin black text that reads, "Get your filthy laws off my body". End ID.]
My remakes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Four versions of the same design. Both show an upside down pink triangle against a transparent background, with text an top in the font Antihero, reading, "get your filthy laws off my body", with an outline around the text and the triangle.
The text in the first is in the colors of the progress Pride flag: black, brown, blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, and purple. The second is in the colors of transnonbinary flag: Purple, black, blue, pink, yellow, and white.
The third is in the colors of the rainbow pride flag, slightly darker than normal. The fourth has the text blood red.
End ID.]
These designs are public domain because I made them and I say so. Fuck capitalism.
You can download these and more versions here on the web archive. Consider donating to them if you've got any extra money.
You can also buy these designs from my threadless store:
Progress pride Transnonbinary Rainbow Red
I'm too disabled to work, but haven't gotten approved for disability SSI, nor do we have foodstamps, so anything helps.
If we successfully manage to grow vegetables in the garden this year, we'll be giving probably 90% of them away for free to people in our neighborhood, along with the usual native plant seedlings (and cuttings when seeds aren't available yet) I give away every year, especially native milkweeds for the endangered monarchs.
Edit:
Okay I figured out how to add a charity so now the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) will receive 50% of the profits from these, and Threadless will also donate another $1 for each product sold.
(you have to select the charity to add, and /then/ hit the "add a charity" button)
You can also donate directly to the ACLU here.
