Keep Going Godwit Washed Cap

Keep going. The footnote on the back says how far.

The Small Print, stitched: KEEP GOING.¹ embroidered with its superscript, and a small Earthrise badge beside it. The shirt version draws the bar-tailed godwit out of its own story; the hat keeps the motto and the proof.

¹ In October 2022 a young bar-tailed godwit flew 13,560 km nonstop, Alaska to Tasmania, in 11 days. Guinness World Records; USGS, 2022

Fig. 4 of 6 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For the runner, the rebuilder, anyone halfway through something hard.

Watch: 11 days without landing on Deep Planet.
