(#115871582264797211) #MaradoWeekly #WeeklyShirt Week 01
After an year of posting a #WeeklyRecord (2024) and another a #WeeklyPlant (2025), in 2026 I plan to post a weekly t-shirt: and encourage you to do the same!
Like with the records and the plants, these aren’t my favorite t-shirts or need to be important, or meaningful, and there aren’t there any rules. Why t-shirts? Well, as time passes a person collects t-shirts: sometimes we bought them for a reason (like this first one), others we got on conferences or festivals, maybe they are from a favorite band… in a way, many of this shirts end up telling a story. And I do have more t-shirts than an year has weeks, so I hope I won’t have to repeat any! 😇
Usually I keep my Weekly photos text-free or explanation free, with some insights on their alt text.
