Howdy folks!
It’s Tommy time! Community Liaison ThatTommyBoii reporting for newsletter duty!
I hope you’re ready for an overuse of exclamation marks, Joe is currently in what he describes as “editing jail” along with “paperwork jail” so I’ll be bringing you this week’s newsletter!
Let’s begin!
Actually, Some of You May Be New Here!
With a new influx of patreon supporters and other folks who may be browsing this site I realize that not everybody may know what’s going on!
I’d like to welcome any folks who may be new with a brief summary of what the newsletter is. Every Monday morning Joe and I meet to write and publish this newsletter here on his site!
Part of my job as Community Liaison is to help establish a connection between all of you lovely folks and Joe, but also help Joe connect with y’all! I’m kind of like a bridge of sorts.
There’s a lot of information that needs to get passed between people in the community, and the easiest and best way for folks to stay up to date on everything going on is all right here in one place!
You can look forward to a new newsletter each week, barring holidays and any events that can cause delays. If you have any feedback we welcome that in the patreon discord at Joe Hills Meta > #feedback-newsletter
If you’re not already a member but are interested in joining you can check out Joe’s patreon page over here!
Now let’s start for real!
Tumblr Poll for MCYTblr Sexyman
This isn’t really what I thought I’d be reporting on when I first started writing the newsletter with Joe, but I’m excited nonetheless!
Round 6 has concluded, and in the match between ZombieCleo vs Joe Hills the winner is… Joe Hills!
I can’t say I’m surprised! With all the propaganda and support I’ve seen on tumblr as well as discord spaces, it’s no wonder he pulled through in such a tight race!
If you’re interested in more data you can view it at this site here, courtesy of this-glittering-world on tumblr.
The final poll, GoodTimesWithScar vs Joe Hills, will go up tomorrow, Tuesday the 14th. What a memorable way to celebrate Valentine’s day! You’ll be able to vote in that poll once it goes live at mcytblrsexymen.tumblr.com.
