Mailed Thank You's To Australia

Hello Australia Brains & Hearts!

A couple of you mentioned that you had not received anything in the mail. We did receive word back from the company handling the mailed Thank You's and unfortunately USPS has stopped sending mail to Australia because of COVID temporarily. 

We wish there was something we could do but unfortunately this is out of our control. Hopefully the restriction doesn't last too long. 

We are so sorry for the inconvenience!!!

Emotional Reasoning and Anxiety

Patron Only Merch Shop still open (for now)!

Hello Patreon Brains!

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the discounted patron only merch shop is still open until this Sunday, January 5th! You can still get merch after it closes but it won't have the awesome Patreon discount, which we decided to provide as a thank-you for everyone who supported the channel in 2019. I ordered some of the merch myself and it's really cool looking :D 

Happy New Year!!!
