🚨Calendar Update 🚨
We were able to donate $2280 split between three Gazan families. Incredible!
The donation links are included in our story highlights if anyone wants to learn more or donate. Thanks to everyone who bought a calendar!
Special thanks to the artists who contributed, the assembly team, and @kotucoffee & @prismartspace for collaborating on the release. Can’t wait to do it again next year! ⭐️

We have a couple of copies stocked en la Esquina!
In honor of our 2026 Calendar, we will be having a release pop-up at @prismartspace (2120 K Street, Sacramento CA) with our buds @kotucoffee ! Dec. 14th, 10-1pm.
For all the locals who so kindly preordered, here is your chance to pick it up & enjoy a tasty bev or snack from kotu! Didn’t pre-order, no sweat we will have copies available for purchase at the pop-up. We made sure to print extra this year so that there is enough to go around. $20 for a copy of your own!
Thanks to all who have contributed and helped support us this year:)! After covering printing costs, all funds generated will be sent to Gazan refugees.
Shout out to this years artists!!

XO trash day
Dang the equinox really threw us for a loop and we forgot to profess our undying love for @wamwogs 💖. Her september illustration really stole our hearts, definitely one for the books. Could stare at these pups all day. Happy fall y'all.
