Hello everybody,
Due to both of us in recovery for hysterectomy and and a broken foot, plus prioritizing finishing Chaotic Queer fulfillment, we will not be mailing store orders until mid June. You can still make an order, but it will mail later.
We still have a couple folks who have missing addresses, presumably because of a Patr...

2025-05-24 02:26:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody,
Patreon is making everybody switch to subscription billing (because of Apple). For most of you who stick to the same tier, it will change nothing for you. However, if you like to change tiers month to month, we have important information on how tier changes work now.
Hello everyone, and happy Lesbian Visibility Day! We are so grateful for your support as we navigate unprecedented and turbulent tariffs. In a poll earlier this month, the vast majority of you were open to trying out a printed wood pin for at least one...

2025-04-14 22:39:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody. The US president is using an emergency declaration in order to place sudden and erratic tariffs on imports from all over the world. In January there was an 18% tariff on pin orders over $800. In February the tariff was raised to 28%. In March he increased it again to 38%. He keeps threatening more retaliatory tariffs. Additionally,...

Hello everyone! Last month we focused on fierce, this month we're focused on the sentiment that queer folks have a million better things to do than appeal to bigots. Like have soup. I love soup. This Masked Palm Civet also loves soup. Basically, the soup-sippin-civet represents the idea that even when you're resting, just being unapologetically ...
2025-03-28 03:45:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody,
We still have a few folks who have missing addresses, presumably because of a Patreon bug. It even erased the addresses of a couple long-term members. Often when we send emails to folks with missing addresses, there is no reply.
Hello everybody! Sorry this pin reveal is so late, my chronic neck-based headaches have been really limiting my ability to work. This ambitious design was also more difficult than most. We tried over 50 versions before coming to the conclusion that we could use the black metal to help make some of the fur.
These pins are a pilot fo...
2025-02-28 01:20:08 +0000 UTC View PostOur online store is not updated yet, due to my neck injury making inventory counting quite slow. Still, we're chipping away at it between working to keep last year's projects on schedule and this year's project in development. I'm in physical therapy as well (finally with a good PT) so I'm hoping things will improve soon.

Just in time for the new year, we present our first snake pin! In the past we made snake adjacent pins, like our Ouroboros and our Hydra, but this is our first time making a pin based on a real snake— the adorable Beauty Rat Snake!
I’m also SO excited about the scales. This is a hard enamel pin, but the scales will be added on top with...

We really haven't done a lot of bears! In fact, the only prior bear(s) were our Ursa Major and Minor pin from last year's Celestial Pride collection. We also haven't made a Bear Pride flag since 2019. It seemed like high time to get a bit of both done.

Earlier this month we were at Pax Unplugged and MFF (represented by studio satellite member Grace Kraft!) At those venues we premiered a new collection of prints based on character classes from classic tabletop roleplaying systems. We got such a lovely response to these, with folks asking for more development on this idea. Short stories, charac...

Hard times still require moments of warmth and joy to power us through. In fact, in a political climate that wants us to feel cold and alone, carving out some comforts is part of the rebellion. We wanted something both cozy and tenacious to suit the moment. A badger seemed perfect.
The focus this month is naturally on Trans and Gender...

Spooky Season is in full swing! We've decided to try out every available color for glow-in-the-dark enamel. That means that most of the bones on these Spooky Strays will look colorful in the light, and glow green in the dark! We're excited to see how they turn out!

Sorry for the late reveal! Between cons, getting covid, and running our Goose kickstarter, we were swamped! It was a lot to manage.
It also inspired this month's Seasonal: our first ADHD pride. We were both diagnosed as children and recent events definitely took all of our management tools! We're grateful for your patience, as always.
