Public Libraries are the Only Data Centers I Support Comfort Colors Unisex T-Shirt

Before the cloud, there was the card catalog. This Public Libraries Are the Only Data Centers I Support design is a witty pro-library, anti-sprawl statement that reframes the library as the original information network, one that runs on library cards instead of megawatts. It nods at the water and energy costs of massive data centers while raising up the free, public alternative.

Made for librarians, climate-minded readers, and anyone who thinks knowledge should be a public good and not a server farm. Wear it to the branch, a climate march, a library board meeting, a book club, or your favorite coffee shop where the wifi comes free with a library card.
