Hello Everyone!
We are now solidly into the New Year (and Happy Lunar New Year as well!) While dealing with the dumpster fire that is our country, we will still be moving forward. One of the goals of an oppressive group is to get you give up, so please remember to take care of yourselves and keep working towards your own goals! Hope is only truly lost when you surrender.
We have started signing for events this year, with more to come in fall and winter!
February 28th, 2026 8pm - Everything Is Actually Romantic Drag Show, French Creek Coffee & Tea, Meadville, PA
May 9th, 2026 - Second Saturday Market, Meadville, PA
June 13th, 2026 - Venango Pride, Oil City, PA (Tentative.)
June 27th, 2026 - Pride on the Bay, Erie, PA (Tentative.)

We also plan on 3 major releases this year and one mini one!
April/May - Mini Drop: Exist Out of Spite Variants Demisexual and Neurodivergence will be available as 2.25" Button Pins and 3" stickers on the website and in person. Flat magnet versions will be available online only.
May/June - Summer Pride: New Pride designs as stickers and pins (possibly keychain/phone charms), and new designs from Lukat Leif! Including a new product: A clinger magnet of their Gremleen character! This will be an acrylic cutout that clings to the side of your fridge. It's so cute!
We will also be adding more cryptid designs, as well some new nostalgia-core designs!
Sept/Oct - Fall Collection: We will be adding new journal designs (perfect for cozy fall reading & journaling time!) The "Boo" design will return as a fundraiser for an animal charity (TBD), as well as the introduction of WASHI TAPE! This has been a dream of mine for years as a lifelong journaler. We will be offering one design by myself (Jay) and one by Lukat Leif. We will also be offering new themed sticker sheets!
Nov/Dec - Happy Howlidays: Many of our fan favorite holiday pins, stickers, and ornaments will be returning, along with a NEW design of the infamous Yule Cat legend designed by Lukat Leif. We will also be adding new sticker sheets, washi tape, and gift tags!
Other Happenings: We may be dropping additional items this year, with our goals to be to add more patches to the shop, including the Exist Out Spite Disability Flag variant!
9" Patch Update:
We have sold a good amount of our 9" Spite Patches at their discounted $24.99 rate. After the first 100 have sold, the price will be raised to $34.99. If you are on the fence, get yours before the deal ends!
Thank you to everyone that has supported us over the past 2 years. We are so grateful to every one of you and hope you are taking care of yourselves. Do not give in to despair. Look to your communities. And really, that's what I hope comes out of all this: that we know our neighbors better and have stronger bonds and create a country of love and caring.
-Jay
