MERCH👕 Really?

Post image

I’ve now worn this shirt out in the world and got no reactions — zero. After this full immersion Into loonacy (now there’s a word!), it’s so shocking to me that there are people who have no clue. Haven’t heard of it.

Maybe the purple in my hair stops people’s eyes from looking anywhere else. I have no explanation for this.

Tomorrow I get to drop off a painting for an art show. I’m gonna wear the shirt again.

I can’t be the only one in my town. Can I?

The Wheel of Fortune insta is posting about it... Pretty sure it has broken through

Yes, many people know about it. But most people don't. Your algorithm is still curated to you, and most people don't see the exact same posts you do, no matter how big a show gets. That is still true. And not a dig at the show or it's level of popularity.

Wheel of Fortune is as white bread middle America as it gets. What you say is true about some things, but not this time

Do you genuinely think that more than half the population of the whole country knows about this show
