okay sure, just ignore requests to return stuff loaned by someone who just lost everything, seems reasonable

there's nothing for me

Cin (they/them) @skyalin.bsky.social · 8d

Because I'm not a cunt, rescued and sorted all the stuff that's not mine, too.

Dunno why, since I'm the only one who gives a fuck, apparently.

By myself, of course.

Just need to sell another five things in the next week for this to not be my worst month ever. Anyone want some pins?
canopyrobin.etsy.com

Robin Hayward 🌳 🏳️‍⚧️ @canopyrobin.com · 22d

As always, all my designs can be found at canopyrobin.etsy.com and every share and sale really helps me to build my business and to afford various trans expenses

Screenshot of an etsy shop showing pride pins in various designs. The top row are Game Changer inspired pins, patches, and stickers that say "we've been here the whole time" in trans, progress, and non-binary colours. Row two shows circular pride pins for a wide range of flags that say it's dr actually, a rainbow frog, and flower pins in a range of flag colours. Row three shows a progress pride tree, a trans fern necklace, and a colour change flower that goes from white petals to rainbow. Row four shows trans lesbian and trans gay flags, and pins that say "ask me about allyship" or "real allies take action" on trans, progress, or black backgrounds
