Have we mentioned we have a patreon? Join at our staple tier and get access to bonus episodes.
The first goal we have for our funding is to re-do our intro music (read: hire artists to do art!)

Turn the spasms and tears into jokes,
The tears and pain into a smirk.
- Ruggero Leoncavallo, "Vesti La Giubba" from Pagliaccio
