+- title "NeoPass for DTI"
+
+:markdown
+	Hi, everyone! We've got big news coming up: we're partnering with Neopets to
+	add "Login with NeoPass" and some other integrations to bring our sites a
+	bit closer together! Here's what to expect and why.
+
+	## Login with NeoPass
+
+	Over time, Neopets is planning to send more users our way, and we want them
+	to have a smooth experience when they get here!
+
+	So, new users will be able to click "Login with NeoPass" and use their
+	existing Neopets account, instead of creating a new DTI username and
+	password. Existing DTI users can also link accounts if they want, too!
+
+	We're also cognizant that a _lot_ of the pain points in using DTI right now
+	have to do with transferring stuff between Neopets and DTI. It's possible
+	that this could set us up for other smoother experiences in the future, too!
+
+	## Links to NC Mall
+
+	We're also planning to add a few links from DTI to the NC Mall, which we'll
+	do our best to make thoughtful and unobtrusive. There's two main reasons for
+	this!
+
+	First off, when Neopets sends users our way, we don't want them to get
+	confused and stuck here. Existing DTI users know their way around NC, but new
+	users probably won't, so we'll add a couple hints for how to get their
+	designs onto Neopets.com.
+
+	The second reason is: we believe Dress to Impress is a critical part of the
+	Neopets economy, and we want TNT to be able to see that, too. We'll include a
+	lil code in the link so TNT can know people came from DTI, and can evaluate
+	accordingly. (We expect this to be important long-term!)
+
+	## Why now?
+
+	Dress to Impress has always been a very small-staff volunteer project, and
+	it's been clear to everyone over the past few years that we're struggling to
+	balance DTI with the rest of our lives 😖 Work and life and family have their
+	own needs, and they've been increasing!
+
+	And so… there are reasons we're being careful talking about details right
+	now, but the gist is: we're hoping that partnering with TNT will not only
+	help improve the disjointed customization user experience, but can also be
+	part of a more sustainable future for Dress to Impress long-term. I hope we
+	can tell you more about it soon!
+
+	I know full well, and I'm sure you all do too, that partnerships between
+	companies and their fan projects can be complicated. Sometimes it goes very
+	well, and sometimes it goes very poorly. I promise I'm doing my best to
+	represent you all, focusing on securing what's right for the community, and
+	keeping in mind the importance of autonomy! We'll only do things we believe
+	genuinely serve everyone, and we'll keep a critical eye as we go.
+
+	So, yeah! Here we go! We'll be working on this in the coming months, and I'll
+	let you know more along the way. If you have questions, please email me at
+	<matchu@openneo.net>, and I'll do my best to help!
+
+	Thanks as always, everyone. We'll talk more soon! 💖  
+	_—Matchu_
