🚨

****Update 2026-09-12**: I moved back to Buttondown. Sign up at [https://buttondown.com/lemoncasting](https://buttondown.com/lemoncasting?ref=chrisenns.com) if you're not already there to keep getting my weekly(ish) newsletter).

## Quick version:

~~I’m switching to Patreon to send out my email newsletters.~~ [~~Sign up here to keep receiving my weekly(ish) Tuesday newsletters~~](https://www.patreon.com/ichris?ref=chrisenns.com)~~.~~

## Longer version:

### Why Move? I Fear Change!

I still have a lot of love for [Buttondown](https://buttondown.email/refer/lemoncasting?ref=chrisenns.com) (*the email newsletter service I’m sending this email to you with*), but I have over 10 years of history on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/ichris?ref=chrisenns.com), and I figured I should make use of it since people already support me over there.

Another reason I want to try using Patreon is it gives me the flexibility to do things like members-only live streams for showing what I am working on, or to do training / course type content for paid supporters.

The email newsletter will always be available for free.

### Where do I sign up again?

[Patreon.com/iChris](https://www.patreon.com/ichris?ref=chrisenns.com) is all you need to know.

Once you’ve signed up, you can use their iOS or Android app to read along, or just keep getting the newsletter in your inbox or on the web. You can [check out the last email I sent for an example here](https://www.patreon.com/posts/156873585?ref=chrisenns.com).

Have any questions or issues? Drop a comment down below and I’ll do my best to help you out.

### I don’t wanna!

That’s fine! I won't force you to move or sign up. And I really won’t take it personally if you decide you need less 🍋’s in your inbox. There’s ***a lot*** going on in the world these days.

Just to make sure you don’t accidentally get anything in the future, you should probably go to the bottom of this email and click the unsubscribe button.
