It is the annual Birth-A-Versary commemorating another successful sun revolution.

Leaving behind my 30s and moving into my 40s. Lets see what the next decade brings.

Been MIA for a bit. Sorry to anyone trying to get ahold of me. My father had a minor stroke followed up by two other family members central to my childhood passing away in a short period of time. 🙃

Hey pin collectors! I do have #TFcon Toronto 25 pins! Life and other nonsense just kept me from doing individual posts.

As usual track me down for bribery, barter, or pay-what-you-can. All pins are LTD to editions of 20 for this show.

If you're waiting on a pin shop order it'll go out Monday or Tuesday. My apologies for the delay.

I've been really sick all week and have been a minimally functional lump of meat. Post office people also don't like you sharing your germs with them.

Playing the "fever. Or just cold damp and dreary weather" game.

Survived working Motor City CC spring edition last weekend. It was wounderful, chaotic, and I got to meet a number of neat people/guests. If I could make a living working shows I can't say I wouldn't try.

Not a lot of people realize this, but "TFcon" is actually short for "Trans Femme Convention" 🏳️‍⚧️

We just happen to have a lot of robot toys there too. Who doesn't like transforming robots? 🤷‍♀️

If you go to @tfcon.bsky.social it's obvious that our fandom is composed of two main groups: Men in their 40s/50s who've been here since G1 and younger queer/neurodivergent folks who came on during IDW. As part of the first group, we need that second group to keep our community vital and growing.

Experimenting with some hand painted items. A mixture of one off items and small batch creations. Earrings, pendants, limited pins. Maybe the occasional other odd n end.

These tarrif shenanigans are "fun" and by fun I mean "by the time my order of business supplies gets here from China, if it even ever ships, how many times the value of the order will i end up paying in tarrifs?"

Fun times.

Another unexpected 2k medical bill. (More dentist stuff.. yay). Will be getting some laser stuff up on my weebly soon to help with costs. Leftover pins, maybe some faction symbol earrings, some other possible stuff. Need to offset some of the 2.5k in dental costs I've spent in the last month. :(

I consider all forms of payment, corporeal or otherwise lol. Feel free to flag me down or message to coordinate a meetup.

Pins are all LTD with print runs of between 15 and 25 on average. Most designs never repeat so once they're gone they could be gone forever!

#8 and final my #TFcon L.A. 2025 pin set representing special guest #FrankWelker and #TransformersPrime #Megatron!

Cost is bribery, barter, or pay-what-you-can. Just gotta hunt me and my wandering pin bag down (when I'm not working).
