Survival By Snark & Sincerity: Shiny Things In Dark Times

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!

We have ordered samples of all of the possible pins from our manufacturer & they are currently in production. We usually expect that process to take about 4 weeks, so we start it as soon as a project hits its funding goal. That means that we should have samples in hand by the time we receive funds from BackerKit & allow us to make any necessary corrections & order as soon as we have backer surveys.

A sneak peek behind the curtain, just a couple of the proofs:

We are under $300 from our next stretch goal,  the alternate colorways for our cisn't pins, and the proofs for those, including the rainbow & genderfluid colorways we'll unlock at $8600, are tucked in our exclusive backer content for this update. 👀

We have unlocked another stretch goal! Everyone who has backed for at least one pin will get a Justice Is A Persistence Predator sticker, free!

Just a quick note about this before we go offline in solidarity with the second general strike in Minneapolis. 

Y'all rock, and I'm very hopeful that we can unlock all the cool things. :]

Question: Are the sticker designs the same as the pins?
Answer: Yes, with the exception of the as-yet-locked "Support Your Local Commuter" pin, which is slightly different in pin form. It has a black outline as a pin rather than the white outline it has as a sticker.


Question: Can you add community whistles as an add-on?
Answer: Man, I hope we don't need those by the time this project will ship. I mean, we can, BUT. In all seriousness, this project is not scheduled to ship until late summer, with the time necessary for surveys, pin manufacturing, and shipment, so if you need whistles, you're better off contacting us through our regular website. That'll get you whistles expeditiously. :)

Question: What do the 4A and 10A pins and the possible "Fuck You, Make Me" look like?
Answer: In development! Spider spent tonight putting together most of the sample order for our pin manufacturer, and his brain is falling out of his ears.

Question: How about the genderfluid & rainbow cisn't pins?
