Here's a thread to show you what's in the Tasting Room Pin Club this month!!

this is the same meme from the first post, edited to include a screenshot of "??? it's supposed to be in this order???" from the Maisu Raisu post earlier in this thread. The meme is of a little girl crying while coloring, the text says "when you thought being a pin creator would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but its stressy stressy lemon zetsy" and the little girl is surrounded by pantone colors, bad etsy reviews, ups delivery delays and the IRS

i have updated the meme accordingly

Maisu Raisu Hard Enamel Pin! This is mouse in a bowl of rice. This is a substitute image showing the artwork only, with a comment stating that "??? it's supposed to be in this order??? I saw them but didn't get a final picture" This pin is in transit to the artist and is now available for preorder from SushiTomodachi.co!

Continuation of the Maisu Raisu, showing the metal casts used in the pin making process. The pin is incomplete, with the comment "See? they exist! ??? but I guess they forgot to take a picture before sending them whoops???"

I just figured out how to set quick reaction on Telegram

But im so annoyed that I can't use ✅️ or 🚫 as reaction emoji. So I guess I get to be a boomer who uses 👍 instead.

Yes I could reply with that but I wanted it on the reaction bar!
