+
+Hey folks!
+
+I just sent out the new sponsor update! Topics this month include:
+
+- **TASK: Summarize sponsor update.**
+
+If you want to receive monthly behind-the-scenes updates too, why not support Fornjot by [becoming a sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/hannobraun)? You can start with as little as $2 a month. More substantial contributions are also welcome, of course 😁
+
+I dedicate a substantial chunk of my week to working on Fornjot. Your contribution can help make that more sustainable.
+
+
+### Not receiving these updates?
+
+I've been sending out an update every month since February 2022. If you are a sponsor and haven't received those updates, maybe you are not opted in? Update your sponsorship over at GitHub, and make sure you check `Receive email updates from hannobraun`. Also make sure to check the spam folder in your email client.
+
+If you still haven't received an update, [please contact me](mailto:hanno@braun-odw.eu). I'm happy to send you a copy directly.
+
+I'm sorry for any inconvenience! Unfortunately, GitHub gives me no control over, or insight into, who is receiving those updates.
