If it weren’t for your response, I would never have discovered ElRatdesigns and I would never have known that I needed these shirts in my life.

Don’t get me wrong. I am *jealous* of the artistic quality of your script. It’s beautiful.

But I couldn’t read it if I didn’t already know what it said.

I am very pleased to be able to tell our EU friends. That @ElRatDesigns has paid the fees, jumped the hoops, and is now fully GPSR compliant, at least for the next year.✊

Thank you, to you all, for being amazing.🖤

Thank you, yes, I feel like I have fallen into an espionage film. I have so much evidence against them. Singapore PDPC just issued me a case number. My MP is in the loop. Sent evidence to HoL committee. Released my tripwire code for free in the hopes people will use

Last week the kid designed and printed a one off shirt for her dad's birthday. Came out great.

I wouldn't be surprised, if a range of "goatface" shirts turned up at @elratdesigns. That kid has amazing style
