Just arrived on our store: New soft enamel pins featuring the #Mastodon logo. This time, they have a copper finish. However! I have to warn you there will be another enamel pin design up on the store this week, so if there's any chance you might want an alternative design or both, you may want to hold off on making orders for now to save on shipping.

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.

Here, a bus.

I decided to give my Canon AE-1 another go after using the Pentax KX for over a year.

The Autumn mug is finally available! 🍵 Sorry it took so long, there were delays outside my control.

"The council will decide your fate."

Happy first day of #JingleJam to all who celebrate.

I think it would've been easy to throw the #Mastodon logo at some print-on-demand website and be done with it, but I've always wanted Mastodon merch to be something bespoke, something you'd genuinely want to keep for years. This is why I chose the difficult path: Manually finding suppliers, prototyping, ordering in advance and distributing through our own shop. It's a lot of work, which is why it tends to happen as individual "drops" rather than a continuous, all year round stock.

I boost, therefore I am.

The sticker sheets are back in stock today! And the first 321 orders have been dispatched, with the rest coming soon. Only about 400 plushies left between the two colors. The winter mug is the closest to being sold out at only 18 units left. Thank you!

There have been a few requests for more serious merch items (so not "Live, laugh, federate" and "I write alt text", though those definitely have their place). @Ameboid and I brainstormed a few messages we could put on t-shirts and I want to see how well they resonate with folks. Again, very non-committal.

I finished #Dispatch and now I feel an emptiness within me.

You may have seen it over on @Mastodon, but in case not: The new plushies are now live on the shop, alongside restocked and new mugs. Shipping to EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, and the US. We decided to allow orders from the US, but shipping is what it is (from Germany).

We have a mailing list that we put on our blog whenever we announce some new merch is being worked on. Roughly half of the plushies have been sold before we posted about it on #Mastodon, just from that mailing list (and people checking the shop manually, I guess). And those new sticker sheets got sold out fully (but are being restocked, hopefully within the week).

Have to restock them, I haven't even posted a link on Mastodon yet and they're sold out.

I’ve got stickers 👀 #Merchtodon

This video brings me a lot of joy.

My top albums this year according to last.fm. I decided to limit this to one album per artist to fit a few more artists in.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mellifluousbox/115569615176946969

I am passing the torch to @mellifluousbox, who will be the new Executive Director. Felix has been involved with #Mastodon since 2020 and has been instrumental in evolving the organization, raising funds, and growing the team to get us to where we are now. With @haubles and @renchap by his side, and the team we have assembled over the years, I have faith that the new leadership will do a stellar job.

It's been a few days now. What is something you like about the latest #Mastodon 4.5 release?

What are the chances that #Ihlo would be at #ArcTanGent next year?
