Every story on the site
Biographies, essays, and archive scans, figure by figure.
We use your approximate city to pick a story relevant to where you are. We never store your exact location or IP address.
Every story on the site
Biographies, essays, and archive scans, figure by figure.
Every shirt carries a QR code that opens a page for the figure printed on it.
The network that delivers the site reports the approximate city of your connection. No location permission, no GPS.
Stories are tagged by place: the western US, the eastern US, and the rest of the world. You get one for yours. Ask again for another.
What we keep
When a shirt is scanned we log the approximate city, region, and country, the time, which shirt it was, and the story suggested, so we can see where these stories travel. Never your exact location or IP address. Visits to this page are not logged.
