I have one of your northern lights coins - but it's coloured and glows in the dark!

We have recently changed our coins to have endangered animals on them, but I've literally only found 1 in circulation so far and aaaaAaAAa

I have 3 new Etsy listings to make because my surgery prints arrived and my upload speed is apparently 0.24mbps so it keeps failing, I've been here 2.5 hours and have 1 image uploaded so I've abandoned my job to go and kiss Babs to calm down

OHH do you have the one with the international space station on it or something?? I got one at a con and it's one of my favourite bits of money

The fish also have some scales that light up under UV :D

I really don't like our plastic money, I should show you the scottish variants though, they're amazing!

It's still way too much money for a hobby sadly, and most of the pieces I looked at would make 1 card holder at best :(

My prior experience is: I bought one of them cheap bag kits a couple of weeks ago, finished it and immediately went 'yeah I can make an Hermès Birkin in my sleep' (except I won't because the leather would cost over £400 so I have to ditch the only hobby I actually like I FUCKINNNN AAAAA MAD)

I forgot to post this but I got my cool stuff from @blacksmoke1033.bsky.social last week and if any of you have a deep desire for cool pins, fancy stickers and really, really nice lens cloths I recommend checking him out!

It is a picture of two lens cloths, one green and gold with an assortment of bugs and the other black and gold with a squid, two badges of the biggest chickens ever, one a button and one an enamel pin, a stag beetle pin that looks like a stag skull and an assortment of stickers, all by Blacksmoke1033

I can put one in your patreon package if you like! There’s a frog themed one coming in 1-2 weeks as well

I’m pretty sure all the collab cloths they make are for charity too, I’d be so up for that too 😅 maybe next time I’m in London I just go ask in their main store, they’re a really small company so idk

Until there is another shift in how media- art in particular- is platformed online, we have to work with what we have. Bluesky is messed up but that's not -our- fault. It's theirs. It took me 10 years to get to the follower count I have here back on Twitter, I'm not struggling through that again.

They have 2 button batteries in that compartment on the back plus a little on / off switch. My pin guy says they’re replaceable as well but I haven’t tried 😅
