Getting harassed on Twitter? Not sure how to respond? Deep down, you know what to do. And so does this shirt.

Titled "Welcome to the Block Party," it was designed by Elizabeth Simins, a friend of Offworld who created the comic Manic Pixel Dream Girl and previously released the Gaming's Feminist Illuminati shirt.

On Twitter, Simins described it as a garment with some valuable ideas about "how to succeed at the internet." If you've ever been harassed on social media, chances are that you'll agree.

The Block Party design is available until next Wednesday for t-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts with styles for men and women.
