I email myself the picture - that gives me an option to limit the file size. Then I save that to post.

Post images resizes the photo for you when you upload it. It prompts you, just select resize for message boards. Copy the direct link and paste it into the photo url that comes up when you hit the photo icon in the full reply box .

Another short cut< which should work from a table is to take a screen shot, copy it and upload thst. The screen shots are usually smaller file size than a regular photo. On the iPhone or iPad, after you take a screen shot, you have the option to copy it, so I would guess other platforms are similar.

I tried all the suggestions here. Jodi, if I send it to you via FB Messenger, would you post it here for me? Or would anyone else like to volunteer? PD, I could send it to you also, if you know how to post it here.

I'm not seeing any type (text?), so not sure what you're referring to. Did you redo the embed, or did you just delete what ever text that you were talking about?
Oh, and nice graphic design!

I offered this design to the campaign the day after the convention, and after looking at their swag offerings on the official website, and seeing how unexciting they were.
I waited about a week, but never heard back. Some friends have said they want the t-shirt. Which would be in all black. But I don't have any idea if it would be okay to do this on my own. Furthermore, by the time I get it done, it would probably be too late to have much impact (if it were to have any impact at all).
I used to do this professionally, but it's been a long time ago. Like before people used computers to design with. Just learning how to create this on my laptop was what took the most time!

Am guessing people just have them made and sell them.

Similar graphic, uninspired text.

Just do it, even if only for your own fun. You don't expect to get rich from this, you may even opt to donate all profits to the campaign, and you can always stop if/when you get a cease-and-desist letter from the campaign. Furthermore, you can also open-source it -- put it in the public domain (or some very liberal licensing terms) and let others reproduce it.

I could start an Etsy account, I guess. I would change the type face just a bit, if I can figure out how to make it a bit fatter. I still like mine better than any of the ones linked to.

A friend said she wanted a t-shirt and said the image made her cry. So this morning I ordered one for each of us. I was surprised to see how easy and fast it is. Cost per t-shirt depends on the quantity purchased. To buy two, they were about $21 each. If I put in an order for 140, they would cost me nearly $2,000, or about $14 each. I don't think I'd do that without prepaid orders. The reason they are so much is because it is a four-color design. They offer one-color in quantity for around $3 each.
I will see how good the quality is for the price. If really nice maybe I will offer them for sale, and donate proceeds to the campaign. In the meantime, I plan to wear mine to do voter canvassing next month.
