I made this progress bar to track my transition fundraising from pin sales, donations, and any other personal savings I can make. I've set it ambitiously for my expected 'lifetime' costs so I'm not expecting to fill it anytime soon but that 100% will be so sweet when I get there! 🏳️‍⚧️

Want to help me pay for my transition? Thank you!! 🩷🏳️‍⚧️ I sell pride pins at canopyrobin.etsy.com and have a tip jar at pay.sumup.com/b2c/QP6VYR07 Facebook & Tiktok pay me for views, comments etc so following me there also helps 😊 • www.facebook.com/share/1DEkUw... • www.tiktok.com/@canopyrobin...

Morning procrastination: the tracker is now horizontal so it's a bit less obnoxious to scroll past on your feed

This is comprehensive, unflinching, and insightful. There has to be change for the better and there has to be consequences for the harm -cruelly intended or otherwise- inflicted by the UK government and NHS upon trans people.

Can I tempt anyone to a polyamorous, berrisexual, or omnisexual frog?

Unclear whether my mental health is up to watching this immediately but I guess there's only one way to find out

It’s a beautiful day to start a new 19-day advent calendar! 😂 today we begin… TINY PLANTVENT! What do we have in drawer 1?! I wrapped all of the wee plants in tissue paper, so no cheating. It’s a wee shrub with pink flowers in an urn.

Trees, like kids, mostly grow at night. But while growth cycles of children have more to do with biology, trees grow at night because of physics. 1/6 ⚛️🧪

Can I tempt anyone to a polyamorous, berrisexual, or omnisexual frog?

What do you mean, "the correct number of anxiety attacks your living space should give you is zero"?

My colour changing pronoun pin is delightful, I highly recommend checking these out

A couple more people donated today and just.. thank you!! 🩷

50 days into the new year and I've officially broken my streak of at least one pin sale every day in 2026. It was actually 130 days in total! 🎉 The response to my pins has been absolutely incredible and I've been blown away by all the amazing reviews, especially over the last four months or so 🩷

These are so cute and come with an NFC chip that directs to a more detailed, online guide of UK trees

In today's pinniversary countdown, I'll highlight the other Game Changer things I skipped yesterday. I also created embroidered patches and trans eggshell style stickers (very hard to remove)! Patches: canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4346... Eggshell stickers: canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4380...

While I was creating the Game Changer pride stickers, I decided to also create some large (10x15cm) trans flags in the hard-to-remove eggshell style. I like the idea that they're big enough to be seen from a distance and to have positive messages written on them canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4380...

check out this bean's pins! i've gotten a few myself and they are spectacular! also robin has some fun pride stickers that are designed to be a right pain for someone to take down on you >:3

Oh, that's cool. Just found out that Facebook has become the first platform to monetise my content since ye olde youtube. I'm also approaching monetisation on tiktok if the whole platform doesn't collapse before then

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! Please check them out! 🏳️‍⚧️

To the person who donated to my tip jar tonight: thank you!! February is a notoriously slow month for etsy sales so things like this are extra appreciated right now! 🏳️‍⚧️

Also, there's a Pride version now! 🏳️‍🌈 Like all my designs, profits from these pins will help to fund my transition costs and sharing the queerness of nature through art like this feels so important right now. I hope you like them! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...

Q: What do you get if you cross a mood ring with a pronoun pin? A: My latest design at canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4376... Please share!

I've talked a lot about being trans today and it was wonderful to see the response but now I'm exhausted so it's time to completely switch off my brain and relax. I'm also going to eat cheese 🤩

What is a forest? Remarkably we don't have a consistent answer to that question,which is why we don't actually know how much forest there is on Earth or where it is. 🌏🧪🌲🌳

Job alert! Lectureship in field ecology at University of Reading with a special focus on plants.

Six more sales until these pins are in profit and officially helping to fund my transition 😊

Using up some of the leftover sugar sachets from past seminar catering... Happy Pancake Day!

I see gay frogs I repost gay frogs

Six more sales until these pins are in profit and officially helping to fund my transition 😊

I'm particularly pleased with how the frog photoshoot came out, after standing in my local canal for a couple of hours. Plus, I got to use the #GayFrogs audio on the video, which was super fun 🐸 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4327...

The frog in my mug is living her best life

As a queer scientist making Pride pins to pay for my transition, it means a lot to see them worn at big events like this. Massive thanks to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for boosting that visibility! If anyone now seeing this wants to check out my other designs, they're over at canopyrobin.etsy.com 🏳️‍⚧️🩷

And both of them wearing the badges I designed for LGBT+ History Month! 🏳️‍🌈💚

Only ten more pins before I finally break even on making these 😊

This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.

I should probably stop opening Instagram tonight. Valentines sure adds a vibe to the feed

While I've basically never had a good Valentine's Day, a friend wished me a Happy Galentine's Day today and that hit pretty hard

And both of them wearing the badges I designed for LGBT+ History Month! 🏳️‍🌈💚

This headline can fuck right off, and so can the rest of the article that blames trans people and their outfits for The Economy 🙃

Just 20 more sales before I break even on creating these colour-changing pronoun pins!

The High Court has made clear that the draft Code of Practice is wrong about the law. Make sure your MP tells the Minister it now has to be rejected 👇

This is incredibly cool. Thanks @zackpolanski.bsky.social for wearing one of my designs to celebrate queer scientists and innovators!

There's a market tomorrow, so it's time for my pre-market ritual... My plea for you to buy a t-shirt right here & now so my box of t-shirts isn't as heavy tomorrow! THAT'S right! I want this box to be a manageable weight! Get 'em at SquidFacts.net! Currently trying to fund a biodiversity mural 😘

Don't usually do endorsements but I can recommend Robin's work for the innovator in your life.
