Burial Shrouds and Patreon Fees (a common combination)
Added 2017-12-08 19:25:43 +0000 UTCHello deathlings,
You may have heard rumblings round the interweb that Patreon as a company is planning to introduce new processing fees on the people who pledge and donate. The fees may seem to be on the smaller side ($.39 or so) but the amount is still too much, especially for all the kind people who are donating $1. As you might imagine, creators like myself are livid about this. There wasn't any transparency or warning from Patreon, and it seems fair to say they made a mistake rolling this out. They're a growing company, and they impressed me in the past with their good intentions. I hope they get it together.
IMPORTANT: I'm not going to take action or ask you to take any action until we know for sure what's going on. I can't lie and say that I'm not nervous. These videos rely almost entirely on this platform, and I want it to be a safe, ethical place for you to donate. I'm so grateful to you for allowing me and my team to make our videos, and I NEVER EVER want you to feel taken advantage of in any way.
In other news, here's a video about burial shrouds! I'm really the queen of the awkward transition, aren't I?
Also, if you haven't joined out secret facebook group the Deathling Den yet, do it! https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheDeathlingDen We're already starting good conversations, plans for our first book club, etc.
More soon, AND A DOCUMENTARY, next week.

One of my co-workers whom is a very death positive person although where we work is not particularly death positive at all, came up to me and said, "I saw this shirt the other day on a gothic blog I read that said future corpse over and over again." I blabbed with excitement that it was from The Order of the Good Death, that I had been telling him about for weeks. We are both soon to be mortuary students (currently completing our prerequisites). Anyways, don't really know why I told you folks all that. Point is, I bought the Future Corpse shirt last week and I can't wait to get it in the mail to spread death positivity everywhere I go! Also designed a sweatshirt that says 'It's Okay to Decay' - so excited about it.
