Fucitol. C6H14O5, a molecule derived from the sugar Fucose, is better known (and by “better” I mean “if at all”) by its common name- Fucitol. Yes Fucitol indeed. Now, with this handsome C6H14O5 molecular model tee from the Nonist, you can brazenly display your cynicism, disgust, apathy, aimless anger, or total nihilism in a manner that wont upset your dear old granny, require immediate sedation, or set off alarm bells in the HR department. This design (see below for larger image) ought to look good on most apparel colors, light and dark.

A long neglected ingredient in the formation of a proper dystopian future was finally added to the mix a couple weeks back when son of Mississippi Michael Dodge (pictured at left) received the first-ever space law certificate in the United States from the National Center for Remote Sensing, Air and Space Law. Yes, space lawyers are now among us. While I see that such a specialization was inevitable, and I figure the mere fact that there is a need for it bodes well for humanity’s march to space + the first thing that came to mind was the image which will now, unquestionably, be a part of our interplanetary mass-transit experience..

Quote: How is it that you can’t say what you have seen? How is it that the truth flees from you as though it were not the truth, and as if, however sincere you are, you could not be sincere? You haven’t conjured up a thing when you’ve called it by its name. It’s no use having known words since your childhood, you still don’t know what they mean.

I would like to announce the opening of The Nonist Shop. After years of threatening to loose actual physical products upon the world I have finally made the first humble steps toward becoming a soulless, lumbering, commercial juggernaut that will happily suck the last penny from your children’s children’s pockets, effectively making it impossible for them to prosper, let alone shell out the cash necessary to keep you happily medicated in the old-folks home! Yay.

My first offerings are all Tee’s. They represent a round-up of a few designs I’ve presented in previous posts here at the Nonist which always seemed to me natural T-shirt material.

I am using Zazzle to produce and ship my Tees. They have a large selections for men, women, and kids, in various styles and multiple colors.

All of my offerings are presented here, for consistency’s sake, on basic American Apparel men’s tees but you have the option to choose any style in almost any color. Some designs will only work well on light colored apparel, some on dark, while some will work on both. I’ve limited your selection in some cases based on this and offer recommendations for each design.

The price on the tees as I’ve posted them hover around the $20 range but the style and color you choose will ultimately decide the price. More basic styles will be cheaper than $20 for example, while fitted, eco-friendly, burnout, and other special styles will be more expensive. In all cases I would personally receive a small percentage above the production cost on any purchase.

I will be adding steadily to the selection as I already have quite a few designs in the bag, and I’ll be posting announcements for each new design here at the Annex.

You can access my own shop page through the menu at the top of the page or you can access my Zazzle storefront directly at www.zazzle.com/thenonist*.

So without further ado, my first offerings…

Just Deduce It. Sherlock Holmes’ iconic pipe meets a derivative of Dan Weiden’s iconic Nike slogan. You can see the original context for this design here. This design works well on light colored apparel.

Creative Commies. Bill Gates once likened copyright reformers to communists. This tee, modeled on an old Soviet workers poster and incorporating the Copyleft logo, was my response. You can see the original context for this design here as well as at Boing Boing and Wired. This design was created for light apparel but should work well on most dark colors as well.

1,499 Snitches. This was my snide response to the ubiquitous New York City “See Something? Say Something” campaign, which has been informing us for the last year that 1,944 people did exactly that. You can see the original context for this design here.

Nonist Lead Type Logo. (1 Color) Show the love with this nifty “The Nonist” logo laid out in lead type. This is an adaptation of an Image I created for the post Notes From On The Ground for the Nonist’s re-launch. Printed in 1 color (black) with transparency this design works well on all light apparel.

Well, hello there neighbor. Welcome to the Nonist Annex, the altogether less formal and more freeform offshoot of thenonist.com.

As the handsome prospector in the image above illustrates here at the Annex I will be offering shiny nuggets rather than the heavy boulders generally on offer at the Nonist proper. My hope is that this format will allow me to update the Annex frequently while updating the Nonist proper whenever time and energy allow.

Functionally the Annex operates almost identically to what my regular readers are already familiar with, so you ought to feel comfortable right away. Rss users can grab the new feeds, which are separate from the Nonist Proper, by clicking the menu link at the top of this page. As this offshoot is brand spankin’ new feel free to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with any issues or thoughts.

One final note: I will be opening the Nonist Shop presently, so expect to see product announcements mixed in with the Annex’s other posts when new items are made available. Hope you enjoy.
