Okay wtf? My HRT provider has locked me out of having any control over what I'm prescribed or when that happens and an AI changed my levels? Luckily all upwards so I can just... not take the extra but this is so bad!

All my pin restocks (not that one) seem to be showing up from my manufacturers this week and I'm not totally sure where to put them all 😂

If you're around London you should definitely take this opportunity to go see Kat be amazing on stage!

Also, I took that photo and it's really nice to see it being used 😁 I would love to do more portrait photography this year

In an attempt to finally break even on these trans ferns and clear some space in my flat, I'm running a January sale for the pin versions. For the rest of the month, you can get them for £10 instead of the higher price I usually charge for this full 3d moulding canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...

One year ago today, I launched my trans "It's Dr, Actually" pin to highlight the expertise within our community and how experts from minorities often have their titles ignored. For trans people this is often paired with misgendering too.
"It's Dr, actually"

I'm very excited to share this new pin with you all! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...

72 fern sales away from breaking even at the currently discounted price! One day, I dream of these ones turning a profit 😅 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...
My second pin design was actually this trans fern, although the complexity of full 3D design and modelling meant I only released it after a few later pins!

I wanted to create something truly beautiful, that could be worn as both a pin and a necklace.

I saw this post a while back and it stuck with me, and feels rather relevant here.

Doesn't matter if your good actions are "performative", what matters is that you're doing them in the first place.

I still think this is one of the most beautiful pins Robin has ever designed (and given their huge array of gorgeous designs that's saying something!) Go and buy one, now!
