Boy was bullied for wearing homemade University of Tennessee t shirt, so they made it their own official design.

In 2019, an elementary school student in Altamonte Springs, Florida wanted to take part in “College Colors Day” and support his favorite team, the University of Tennessee Volunteers. Since he didn’t own any official merch, he hand drew the “U.T.” logo on a piece of paper and pinned it to a plain orange shirt.

His teacher, Laura Snyder, said he was excited to show it off that morning, but by lunchtime some classmates mocked the homemade design, leaving him heartbroken and in tears.

Wanting to cheer him up, Snyder shared the story online hoping someone connected to the university might send him a small gift. Instead, the story went viral. Thousands of Tennessee fans rallied behind the student, and the university responded by sending him a huge box of official gear.

Then they went even further.

The University of Tennessee turned the boy’s exact hand drawn design into an official t shirt sold by the school, with proceeds supporting anti bullying efforts. Demand became so massive that the university’s online store reportedly crashed from the flood of orders.

What started as a moment of bullying turned into a story celebrated across the country, with thousands of people proudly wearing the young fan’s design.

Homestar Streets?

My 12 year old and I were having an important discussion...if you could rename all the streets in your town, what Homestar themed names would you choose?

I'll start us off:

Something I just realized

You know that sbemail where Strong Bad talks about inspiring people? I just realized the sender was asking how to inspire people, and not what Strong Bad does that inspire others. I've watched that one several times and only just now realized that.

First Bay to Breakers!

And we had a blast!! We’ve wanted to get up to the city and do this race ever since we started making our own inflatable costumes, but something has always come up! But we made it this year! Honestly, I’ve also been pretty nervous about how it would go, and I have to say it went a lot smoother than I expected! The wind was a bit difficult to navigate, but we made it through! Let me know if you saw us! I have limited vision and interaction when inside a costume, so I don’t connect with people as well as I’d like to at the time.

Trogdor Pinball

Just played this at the Golden State Pinball fest. It was a homebrew machine with sounds and multiball. Props to whoever made it, it was fun!

Sorry I didn’t get better pics or a video.
