Under normal circumstances I don’t link stuff posted on Medium, because I’m wickedly biased against what overwhelmingly seems to be a bloviation platform for painfully self-unaware “meritocrats” who were born on third base and think they batted a triple.<\/p>\n
James Marks is not one of those guys. \u00a0I’ve\u00a0used his\u00a0print shop for t-shirts, buttons, and stickers since just about the beginning, and watched them steadily grow via pluck and vigilance. \u00a0I would take business advice from this t-shirt making vegan\u00a0over most any other cat on Medium.<\/p>\n

Bind\u00a0them as symbols on your arm\u00a0and bind them on your forehead. Inscribe\u00a0them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.\u00a0And it shall come to pass if you surely listen to these commandments with all your heart and all your soul, your customers and clients will give you money and will return tenfold, and you will eat and you will be satisfied.\u00a0 <\/span>Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n Under normal circumstances I don’t link stuff posted on Medium, because I’m wickedly biased against what overwhelmingly seems to be a bloviation platform for painfully self-unaware “meritocrats” who were born on third base and think they batted a triple.
