Survival By Snark & Sincerity: Shiny Things In Dark Times

Hey y'all -

We've seen such a surge in the last 10 hours that I felt like I wanted to reward that. I've adjusted the 4A/10A pin goal down to $9500, so as of now we've unlocked those as add-ons, and the "free 4A/10A pins for 3+ pin backers" is now at $10K, so less than $500 away!

Let's bring this home. :) 

Quick update: the add-ons are live now, including a full set of the mini pins, which includes all 3 metal variants of both pins at a price that's equal to getting one pin free! :]

Exactly what it says on the tin: the alternate metals for the brass pins are unlocked, and we've got 2 pins left to go in the last 15h.

Thank you again for your support, if you don't see this until the campaign is over. 💗

Hey y'all! 

Yesterday we were within spitting distance of unlocking the next set of pins, as we were at just under $8900. Unfortunately it looks like we had a rash of cancelations overnight, which does happen at the last minute as people's financial situations change, and we're about $300 away from that goal. That's totally doable in the last day, as hopefully everybody who has been thinking about it gets this email and remembers to pledge or add on that add-on they'd been eyeing. ;)

Once the campaign actually closes, we will be working on putting together surveys, and when BackerKit rolls over the information to us & our surveys are approved, we'll smoke test those. I hope to get to those pretty quickly, but I'm running behind where I wanted to be due to the one-two punch of a severe glutening and a Death Cold one right after the other. I'll have a more firm update for you on that, as well as possibilities for unlocking any missed stretch goals in the survey/add-on/web store phase, as soon as possible.

Thank you for supporting this project - this past year has seen some huge changes for us, and I haven't put out a pin project since Historically Queer in 2024. I was a little gunshy about getting back into it, but we brought our whole heart like we usually do, and y'all responded in kind. Our samples are in process and I'm looking forward to sharing pictures and updates with you as soon as we get them as well. 

Solidarity Always,

Hi all, 

I'm writing this from bed bc I'm struggling through a Death Cold. We are at $8722, so $278 from unlocking the alternate metal options for the brass pins.

And! I thought this was clear but I was asked so I'm going to make it clear: all of the core pins also have sticker versions which unlocked when we unlocked those pins. You can add them on as individual stickers or as a whole pack, & some are included as freebies on older stretch goals. :]

I return now to my fortress of tissues and rewatching comfort TV. Up today: BBC's Pride & Prejudice. 

Solidarity,
Spider

And just under $400 to go to unlock the alternate metals for the brass text pins!
