Hello there!

I write with a few updates from Train Land...

💌 All zines mailed!

I've mailed all 1075 zines! (The last ~200 went in the mail yesterday and today.) If you haven't gotten yours yet...hang tight! Thanks for your patience, it's all very manual!

(Working with a print shop next time will help me mail them in a shorter window than this time, which was two weeks of rolling sending.)

💐 Donations + spring zine signup

The zine is 100% "pay what you can" and I'll keep it that way until donations aren't covering the cost anymore. (They totally covered the cost from the first zine toward the second!)

A donation today helps pay for the the spring zine, which will cost me a bit more because I need to pay for a print shop to help operate the zine at its current scale. I'd love to do that and still keep it pay what you can.

You don't need to give a lot...if all 1,075 subscribers gave $2 or $3, I'd cover my costs. And if you're in the position to give more, it goes a long way.

Here's a link to donate and sign up for the spring zine.

And if you're one of the many who has already donated...thank you for your generosity! 🫶

🗓️ Merch deadline -- April 21

Preorders will close on Sunday, April 21! You can access the store via a QR code on the inside of the zine.

New: I added a hats and custom train whistles a few days ago, on top of the shirts that are already in there.

Everything is priced at a $10 profit, which I'll use towards the zine. Think of it as a more expensive donation: you buy the merch at cost, and contribute $10 toward the cause.

If you don't get your zine because of a mail delay by April 21 and want to order merch, respond to this email and I'll send you the link.

That's all I got. Thanks for reading -- appreciate you all!
