The Vibes Police Are After You
The Vibes Police are an entity of my invention, but please don't tell anyone. In the boring summer months at my on-campus job, I began sending anonymous messages to my co-worker Matthew informing him that the Vibes Police were after him.
Unfortunately, Matthew knew me well enough that the messages remained anonymous for less than a minute after I sent the first one. I kept the ruse up very well, though.
And thus began a year of strife between Matthew and the Vibes Police…
Other people around the office started getting in on it. They made badges showing their affiliation with the organization.
Our boss, Anjilee, found ways to incorporate The Vibes Police into our workflow.
Sometimes the Vibes Police had to up the ante by doing things like tracking down his parents’ address to deliver a threatening message over winter break.
As a heartless criminal, he laughs in the face of arrest
OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE GOOD VIBES:
I’m the One Who Made The Floor Lava
I am a BIG FAN of the floor is lava. My friends indulge me in this passion once every few months, and they pretend to do so begrudgingly. Everyone loves the game, though, so I know it’s a facade. Unfortunately, I’ve had a hard time getting my league up and going, but I do have all the merch prepared for the moment it takes off. It’s probably a little too high intensity of a sport for my college town. Lmk if you know anyone who would want to join.
In 2025, I traveled with an organization focused on helping Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. I made the T-shirt for the trip, and since then, have continued to make shirts for their fundraising events. I work pro bono with the owners of the non-profit on their creative endeavors. It is something I feel so blessed to participate in!
My brother and I worked on this shirt together and incorporated the Water Lily as it is the national flower of Bangladesh. We also wanted the shirt to mean something to the people we met, which is why the words on the back say “compassion takes action” in Bengali.
