Originally created and posted for my 2019 Moving Auction, I was really sad having to leave these behind, especially since some people weren't able to purchase them when they were for sale. I loved being able to release these this way, so we will now be doing these packs every year!

Subscribe to this new $60 tier on my Patreon to get all 15 codes and 5 layouts from my auction mystery packs—plus everything in my $10, $20, $40, and $50 tiers included. That's a lot of content.

How much content, you ask? Try 27 codes and over 40 layouts on for size. 👀 Plus a custom layout commission. (The 15th-of-the-month cutoff date for custom orders at this tier will be waived for October for any $60 patrons.)

[I don't recommend staying at the $60 tier for more than one month each year, as this tier will only be posted to once a year. I'll update on IJ each year when the bundles go up so that you'll always know when a new one is available!]

Hey guys, I have some big news! sanity is now available on Firefox!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Get it right here.

I also want to take a moment to apologize for how long this took to get onto their addons. I had a weird anxiety when it came to doing the edits it needed to work on Firefox, and the worst part is the edits were really not all that intensive, but I would just hit this... mental roadblock and I just couldn't get myself to get past the overwhelming need to pretend it didn't exist and get done what needed doing.

Anxiety be like that sometimes I guess; totally random and without sense or reason. I'm sure a lot of you get that feeling, but an apology is still needed. Between that and the house etc., this got done so much later than I'd ever intended. Maybe now the crippling guilt will go away LMAO.

We're here now though, and both versions will be updated together anytime I run Sanity updates. Love you guys, and I hope it was worth the stupid long wait! ♥

(Unrelated, but we're in the LAST 24 HOURS of the auction!)

The move is today and my computer is disassembled, so I'll be MIA until about Wednesday. Love you guys! 💖

Hey guys! This month, due to the house-buying-moving situation, things are going to be a little different. All free posts for August will be posted between now and Monday, August 5th so that I'll have the rest of the month free to work on the move.

PATREON
Patreon rewards will be as usual!

FUNDRAISER & RAFFLE
The fundraiser details have changed and will ideally be posted on Saturday, August 10th. Here's the deal: Since I wanted to include a raffle with this fundraiser so that I could give back to you guys in the process of raising money to help with the house expenses, this will be an auction instead. This is for legal purposes lmao.

On the subject of this fundraiser and raffle auction, I'm excited to announce that we've gained an extremely talented digital artist who is offering custom art of your favorite characters as an auction item!

Note: If any of you lovely creators on the site would like to donate a service or item to the auction, you can contact me at any time before August 10th.

Personal Health
As some of you saw on Patreon and might have noticed here, I've been very slow the last couple of weeks. I have some reproductive health things going on, but no worries: It's absolutely not life threatening; I just had to have a procedure done that left me in a lot of discomfort and pain, and I was having a hard time doing anything on the pain management they gave me for it. Everything's healing up just fine, and I'll be done with it soon! In the meantime, I'm feeling a lot better so I can at least function while dealing with it now, haha.

June Patreon Rewards
Due to the above, as per my previous Patreon update, rewards for last month will be posted by Wednesday, July 10th, and I can't wait to get them up!

The Big Surprise Project
I hinted last month during free projects that I have a new larger project coming up, and I'd very much hoped it would be up for June, but given all the doctor trips, medication, and some extremely exciting news below, I'm going to hold off on it until September and resume focusing on more typical content for the time being. Don't worry though, it's coming and it's gonna be extremely rad!!

Extremely Exciting News
After years of struggling—roach-infested apartments, crashing with friends, unsafe buildings and neighborhoods; you name it, we've been there—thinking we'd never be able to even start doing this, we're buying a house! We found one we love that's well below our budget and, fingers crossed that everything goes the way it should, we close at the end of the month! This is exciting and terrifying and I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, but we could never have done with without your support in my work, and all the help we've gotten from our closest friends.

So thank you so much. You were the reason we could afford our rent, and now you're the reason we can pay our mortgage. I could cry. I have cried.

Fundraiser & Raffle
To kill two birds with one stone, I decided the best plan to tackle all the standard Crap, We Need ________ For the House type stuff after the move would be to run a fundraiser! But I wanted to make it fun and to still give back to you guys too, so there will also be a HUGE raffle included, featuring custom-to-you prizes from myself, two wonderful graphic designers, and another lovely code maker—as well as the chance to win IJ rename packs and coupons! Full details will be posted at the start of August. (Spoilers: There will be a chance to win a game bundle in this raffle.)

So, in closing, my health's been rude but I'll be fine and I'm getting better, the next two months are going to be insane but I'm still going to be posting content as usual, and I cannot wait to put up our fundraiser page and post all the details and HUGE list of prizes for the raffle! Thank you all again, so very much. ♥
