Only 8 of the 20 pin, sticker, necklace, and patch designs I sell have ever made a profit. I would love to get that up to ten by the end of the year!

One year ago today, I sold my first pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com and set out to fund my trans healthcare expenses sustainably by creating a small business alongside my fulltime job. This quoted thread shares the 17 designs and 106 variations I've made since then!

A good friend regularly reminds me thatโs it okay to have days (or even sometimes weeks) when you cannot bear the thought of dealing with the seven circles of hell that is healthcare bureaucracy. Skrem away โค๏ธ

And finally, today, one year after launching my first LGBTree pride pin to help fund transition, I'm launching another tree!
This time the trees are decorated for Christmas as part of my winter pin drop!

This is my biggest release ever but it's important to me to represent as many people as possible, especially considering how kind Dropout were to let me make them! I know that a lot of the more niche flags will never break even but I'm so happy to share them anyway.
We've been here the whole time.

I find it fascinating that although whales are the largest animals on the planet there's a ton of species we just don't know much about.
There are 24 species of beaked whales and some have only been discovered in the last few decades.
