Drops

We publish the record before we publish ourselves.

Every code is released in a dated drop. The Study is always on. The Edition — 25 per code and side, signed, for the Family — is open for 21 days from the drop date and then closes at whatever number it reached. No countdowns, no “only three left”: the date and the Register are the truth.

Launch: Saturday 12 September 2026. Members of the Family open every drop 48 hours early. Join the Family →

The Opening

Launch twelve · 12 codes

Launch day. Twelve codes, three from each of four jobs: Hook, Entry, Avatar, Depth. The Family opened 48 hours early on Thursday 10 September. We read Studies vs Editions, the upgrade rate and which job converts — and every later drop is set by those numbers.

The Record

Origins — the colours that were actually worn · 20 codes

We open with history because the Statement on Origin says we must earn the right to the new words by publishing the old ones first. Every code in this drop appears in Damron 1980, Townsend 1983 or the later bar charts. Legitimacy before invention. First Monday of October: the first full drop after the test.

The Inner Room

The Originals — archetypes of the inner life · 16 codes

New year, new words. The first big Originals drop: Oracle, Architect, Shapeshifter, Timewarp, Aftercare’s siblings. This is where we say plainly: the code did not stop in 1979; we wrote the words it never had. Identity, not acts.

The Upload

The tech codes — a language for the digital body · 14 codes

Startup, Neural-Net, Open-Source, Render, Wireless. The most TikTok-native drop: the platform’s own vocabulary turned into a 1972 grammar. Bridges to the design and tech audience that buys prints for studios and offices.

The Tribe

Archetypes of the scene — drag, pup, wolf, handler, witch, revolutionary · 17 codes

The community’s own archetypes, documented 1970–2025, presented with the care of the Statement: these belong to the people who built them. March: the spring build towards Pride; the drop that earns the community’s trust for Drop 7.

The Grid

Who you are and who you love — the gender grid + orientation & relationship codes · 40 codes

Pride season, and the largest drop: the thirty-colour gender grid with the orientation and relationship codes. Left pocket who you are, right pocket who you want. Held back on purpose so the site has nine months of history and trust underneath it when it lands.
