Letter Sent Regarding Rainbow Toe-socks
Dear Injinji Representative,
Then go to this page:
Words cannot convey my frustration and disappointment that your store has these socks available in size S, M, and L, but size XL are not in stock. Please tell me this is only temporary, and then let me know as soon as they are availablein size XL. Because of my size, I spend my whole damn life wearing socks that are white, grey, brown, or black, and I finally found these socks, and your store allowed me to get all the way to the "Purchase" button before saying it was out of stock. Today at REI, I saw these socks that would go well with my barefoot running shoes. They had about 50 pairs of size small, about 50 pairs of size medium, about 25 pairs of large, and 0 size XL.
Why can't big people have nice colorful clothes????
Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.
[Joel adds: I know this is a first-world problem. I wish everybody could have socks available to them, and rainbow toe socks at that.]
pax hominibus,
agape to all,
joel
Imagine you are 6'5" tall with men's size 14 shoes.
Then go to this page:
Try to order socks in size XL.

Joe Gerstandt on flying your freak flag
Do you know who you are?
Do you know what you are here for? purpose, calling
Do you know what your gift is?
Wrestle with these if you want to live a life of truth.
Is there any evidence? If this is who I claim to be, am I acting accordingly? Am I doing something different? Am I downplaying playing it safe?
Freaks love to find other freaks. Others won't know how to respond. You'll scare some people by confronting them with your own freedom.
Difference is the genesis of conflict, and conflict is the genesis of change.
Be willing to be different. There is no progress without deviance.
Your odd piece of the puzzle will provoke the future that we want together.
You are now free to fly your freak flag.
Been so busy lately. Will post something more meaningful later in life.
pax hominibus,
agape to all,
joel
