Internet, what's good? Before we begin today's episode of Potterless, just a few quick

announcements. And first is that the Potterless merch store is finally live. If you go to

bit.ly slash merch on all lowercase, you can check out our website there. And boy, do we have some

bangers. We've got pins, posters, stickers, shirts in each of the Hogwarts house colors, a sweater,

and shipping is free for the U.S. And it's like $5 for international shipping. So go check that out,

bit.ly slash merge on. Also, it is the first episode in June, meaning that it is donation time.

Here at Potterless, each month, we give $1 for every member of our Patreon team at patreon.com

slash Potterless to a different charity. And this month's charity was suggested by patron Callahan.

The charity is called Prevent Child Abuse America. And this month's charity was suggested by patron Callahan. The charity is called

Prevent Child Abuse America. And they are an amazing charity that promotes healthy development

of children. They prevent child abuse before it can occur just to try to help children grow up

and contribute to their communities. They have chapters in every single state and they help about

100,000 families a year. So if you want more information about that charity, you can head to preventchildabuse.org. And thanks, Callahan, for the suggestion. This Saturday, June 9th, I will be performing live with Join the Party in New York City. I will be reading part of quiddits throughout the ages with Julia Schafini and Kelly Beckman. It's going to be a great time. If you want tickets, head on over to bit.ly slash join the party live. We'll also have posters. I'll sign stuff. It'll be a super good time.

We'll do meet and greet after. It's going to be lovely. I hope to see your faces there.

And speaking of seeing your faces and loving your faces, we have some new faces to welcome to our

Patreon team.
