Howdy Tumblr, it’s been a minute. Sorry to keep everyone in the dark regarding June’s charm design, but it seemed like a million other things got in my way during the month of May and I struggled to carve out the time to finish it.First things first: George Floyd was murdered by police on May 25th. Black lives matter—they matter to me, and they should matter to you too. I can’t speak on the black experience, but I sure as shit can help out where I can. 50% of all my June Etsy sales will be going to two Black-run organizations: Black Visions Collective and Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. BVC is a Minnesota-based advocacy group, while BTAC is dedicated to helping black trans people nationwide get the health care they need, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A million thanks to my pal @lucianlibrarian for helping me narrow down the list of groups I was looking through, all of which are deserving of support and donations. If you want to help out, here’s a great list of resources to browse at your leisure.Secondly, I’m going to be doing something a little different with June’s release. In an effort to get back to releasing merch near the first of each month, I’m going to put June’s merch up for ‘preorder’ tomorrow, June 6th at 1:00pm PST. I put preorder in quotes because I’m still going to be ordering my usual quantity, it’ll just be that you’ll buy now and I’ll mail everything out a couple of weeks from now when the merch arrives. I know this is short notice, but don’t worry—if it looks like I’m running low on stock, I’ll make sure there’s enough for everyone to grab something, even if they aren’t able to order right away. I just want to get back into the habit of releasing merch at the beginning of the month rather than the end of it, like what happened with May. (Speaking of May, the new merch has finally arrived and it looks great, so those will be going out in the mail tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who has been waiting an eternity for those, hopefully it’ll be worth it!)There was a lot I wanted to say about June’s design, but honestly my heart is broken with the state of the world and it doesn’t feel right celebrating the coming of June when so many injustices are happening right now. If you’re feeling as down as I am about everything, hopefully Ignis’ abs will cheer you up a little. ;_; -- source link
