Re: the banner image... friend of the pod Em was fostering some newborn kittens that they named after beans and I just thought you all should see them. OK, here's your newsletter.

Hey friends,

Hope you’re all hanging in there. I have entered a very specific hell in which there is now heavy construction going on directly outside my house (like… 6 feet away…) from 8am to 5pm on weekdays. This is not ideal for sleeping or working in audio or being a cat named Rhubarb or not having a perma-headache.

(Although one nice thing is that the construction people felt so bad for surprise waking us up at 7am on Monday by SHAKING OUR WHOLE HOUSE VIOLENTLY that they bought us a nice bottle of champagne??? So they are allies actually.)

Photo: Tuck frowning next to their window. Immediately outside is a huge, tall piece of construction machinery with all sorts of pipes and wires sticking out of it.

Actually, I did not intend to do this but fuck it lol: my lease is up soon so if you having housing leads in Brooklyn for late May or June, please lmk! Happy to split a 2-bedroom with someone, also able to pop into a room. Ruby is great with other animals and frankly anyone should be honored to live with her. Thank youuuuu.

OK, ANYWAY! Updates on everything else:

Merch Sale

You’ve still got three more days to get 25% off our entire merch shop (including our shirt that famously goes hard) with the code FRIENDS&FANS25! I also just added the trans knife sticker & hoodie back in there, mostly because a newsletter reader requested it but also because I am so extra mad today.

Season 11

Ozzy and I are deep into researching guests for next season and paring down our long list of guest ideas. We’re meeting IRL next week to swap books, which I’m excited about! The feedback we got from the patron form is directly informing the way we program next season, so thank you again to everyone who filled that out. :)

(Ofc, once we finalize a guest list, I don’t really know how we will record the season due to the sonic hell of my apartment but we will figure something out!)

Patreon rewards

I just stopped by the post office and mailed like ~100 patreon rewards! (I also ordered 2200(!!!) new stickers, including two new designs that I’m excited about!) I’ve got like 230 more rewards to go, but now that baseball is back, it’s easier to get into a Patreon Mail Work Zone for like four hours at a stretch, so I’m hopeful.

Baseball

Nobody asked but I play fantasy baseball now and it is my toxic trait.

Fast Zine

Niko and I are putting a lot of work into the Fast & Furious Trans zine this week and next. It’s going to be so cute!!!! I’m hoping to have a pre-order link for y’all in the next few weeks.

Secret Project

I mentioned a secret project a few weeks back — that is officially recorded and is most likely coming out in June! Will keep y’all posted, but you’ll know it when you see it.

Gender Census

It’s currently open for all nonbinary people, and it’s super quick! Take it here.

OK, that’s everything I can think of for now. Here’s Links & Stuff:

More high-profile people should use their platforms to shit-talk Autism Speaks imo!
My friend Annika is entering their goo era
What’s gayer than borderless, identity-based roller derby teams?
Them interviewed Boygenius (also gay)
Them also looked into LGBTQ finance disparities
You know how some of your enemies are like “interpersonally kind of annoying” and others are like “trying to genocide all your friends?” We made a cube for that.
