Sassy Em Dash Short-Sleeve Unisex T-Shirt

from $20.00

Wear your defiance like a badge of honour. What started as a cheeky Instagram post is now a message you can take to the street!

In a world obsessed with stripping the humanity from our words, this shirt is a battle cry. The em dash isn’t just punctuation—it’s personality, pause, power. It’s the breath between thoughts, the dramatic flourish, the you know what I mean without having to explain. And no, we won't apologize for using it just because some algorithm might flag our work as AI. The robots don’t own storytelling — we do — and we will continue to own as long as we let our voices be heard!

You’ve now found the staple t-shirt of your wardrobe. It’s made of 100% ring-spun cotton and is soft and comfy. The double stitching on the neckline and sleeves add more durability to what is sure to be a favorite!

• 100% ring-spun cotton
• 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the center

Disclaimer: Due to the fabric properties, the White color variant may appear off-white rather than bright white.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

“No, I will not remove the em dashes from my work for fear that people will think my work is the work of a robot. The em dash is a tool that adds meaning and power to a sentence. It is irreplaceable. It is essential. It adds heft and significance to my voice. A robot can use it all it wants, but it will never use it like me. Because I have a heart and a soul and story to tell. I am more than ones and zeros. I am a writer. Watch me take my power back…” @alannarusnak
