Where are the [citation needed] stickers, though?

They used to sell those on the xkcd store and I was going to link to them but it seems the store is closed now.

There's a pretty good Citation Needed newsletter and podcast run by former Wikipedia Arbitrator Molly White that also has a store that of course has [citation needed] merch. The newsletter and podcast is pretty good, too; the Verge article even links to it.
