17 Sales and Counting: The Journey of My Wu-Tang T-Shirt on TeePublic 🎉👕

When I first designed the “Presidents Are Temporary. Wu-Tang Is Forever!” T-shirt, I had no idea it would resonate with so many people. Seeing my design out in the world and realizing others connect with it as much as I do has been an exciting journey. ✨ Seventeen sales later, it’s time to reflect on the experience of selling on TeePublic—the highs, the lessons, and the frustrations.

The Highs 🚀

Designing this shirt was a labor of love. 💙 Inspired by both pop culture and the timelessness of the Wu-Tang Clan, I wanted to create something bold yet relatable. When I uploaded it to TeePublic and saw those first few sales come in, I was thrilled. 🙌🏾 It validated the effort I’d put into creating something people wanted to wear.

Seeing my design available on other accessories like mugs and stickers was also exciting, as it allowed people to connect with my work beyond clothing. 🛍️

The Challenges 🤔

While selling on TeePublic has its perks, the margins can feel disheartening at times. TeePublic often runs sales that lower the price of products significantly. This is great for customers 🤑 but leaves creators with a smaller cut. 😤 For example, the shirt that’s listed at $23 often drops to $16 or less during a sale, reducing my earnings per item.

Despite this, I’m determined to focus on what I’ve accomplished—selling 17 designs is no small feat, and every sale is proof that my creativity has value. 🎨💡

What’s Next? 🌟

My goal is to continue building on this momentum. Whether it’s expanding my store with more pop culture-inspired designs 🖌️, experimenting with new accessories, or promoting my work on social media 📱, I’m eager to see where this journey takes me.

I’m also learning to balance passion and profit—exploring other platforms or even creating my own shop someday where I can have more control over pricing and margins. 💪🏾

Thank You 🙏🏾

To everyone who’s purchased my Wu-Tang-inspired design or shared my store with friends—thank you. 💛 Your support means the world to me, and I’m excited to keep creating products that speak to you.

Here’s to the next 17 sales and beyond! 🥂🎉

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
