Being positive about negativity

 


I reached a new pinnacle of posting t-shirt designs based on all of today's National Day days. There were five national days being celebrated today: National Erase Self-Negativity Day, National Farm Animals Day, National Cinnamon Crescent Day, National Siblings Day, and National Encourage a Young Writer Day. I think the National Day people should create a National Dizgraceland Dizigns Exploiting National Days Day. I do believe I am on the forefront of this trend. Though I doubt it is a trend if I'm the only one doing it.  

National Farm Animals was pretty easy because I have tons of designs featuring chickens, pigs and cows. 



I was able to pivot fairly successfully from there to National Encourage a Young Writer Day with this gem:


Now technically I'm not so much encouraging young writers as encouraging them to get their shit together and only write if they can do it correctly, but I feel pretty strongly that writing is a craft and we don't need any more crappy writers spewing crap into the ethos.

I went from discouraging young crappy writers to the challenging National Cinnamon Crescent Day.  Now normally I don't mess with National Days dedicated to obscure food variations, but I was on a roll (so to speak). So I slapped up this design. And ironically it immediately got a like from someone who gives out virtual badges for content that isn't created by AI. Both ChatGPT and I are still chuckling about that one.


I think it is more than a National Cinnamon Crescent Day frankly deserves.  Because let's face it, a cinnamon crescent roll is crafted from a tube of crescent roll dough which is the American nasty attempt at mass producing croissants. 

With the National Cinnamon Crescent Day crossed off I was on a mission so I went for National Siblings Day.  The only thing I had in my t-shirt hopper were a couple of Brothers Grimm designs so I went with:



Honestly, siblings aren't my favorite topic since I have a couple of Trump-minded brothers.  Talk about grim. But with four National Day days down I was in the home stretch with my biggest stretch, National Erase Self-Negativity Day.  And those of you who read my blog regularly (see, I'm trying to be positive) know I'm not a big fan of fake optimism or self-help scams. So I went with some trademark Dizgraceland sarcasm.

Okay, that's pretty much a Pentafecta for capitalizing on five random National Day days. That has got to be a new record and something worth major recognition in the annals of National Day days exploitation.




Oh well. Enough horse play for now.
