Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

This train is vibrating so much I really expected the last announcement to say "strap in for turbulence"

Incredible news: I actually got a seat on a Crosscountry train at Christmas! Usually I'm standing between carriages. it is admittedly 6am...

In the UK and need last minute gifts? My last shipping date is on Sunday so you still have time! (I also ship worldwide but it almost certainly won't arrive by Christmas outside the UK)

"Do not pollute the common well." AI has done precisely that, polluted the information ecology we all live in and draw from. Think about what YouTube was like just 3 years ago. Think about what search was like 5 years ago. AI pollution is forced down every throat. mastodon.green/@Tarnport/11...

The #1 movie when you were ten years old is how your 2026 is going to go. ...I guess we can hope

I'm now officially on holiday but my brain refuses to believe it. Any tips for easing the momentum of productivity stress?

One of these was me! Such a nice opportunity to speak about our work with woodland creation

Just 10 trans Christmas tree pins remaining! It would be amazing if they sold out before Christmas 🥰

I may have sold out of these on my etsy but, if you want one before Christmas, there are still a few available via @typewronger.bsky.social. Plus, they're a small bookshop so you can buy some real books at the same time!! 📚

Omg. They just sold out!! Thank you!

When this guidance is published (given legal standing), as it almost certainly will be, as a trans man I will not be allowed to use non-unisex public toilets. Which is almost every public toilet. Just want that to sink in, there. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

I have once again found a tree ID pin with imperfect enamel (errors on the horse chestnut and ash leaves). If you'd like it for 25% off, let me know! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...

I remember listening to the early seasons of The Infinite Monkey Cage and being inspired by them before I became a scientist myself. It's sad to know that this is how it ends, but I am so grateful and heartened by the knowledge that Robin is the person he is and his allyship inspires me too

It's been so cool to see people buying these as christmas gifts. I hope everyone enjoys opening them on the day!

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! 🏳️‍⚧️

The end of 2025 is in sight and I'm not even in the "omg how will I get everything done?" phase anymore. I'm just exhausted. Let it be over soon

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Me, in The Guardian today: "This is a moment that requires bravery in standing up for what is right. Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand."

Just found out that PocketCasts also does a little wrapped thing. There have been so many amazing episodes this year 😍 Big shoutout to @killjamesbond.bsky.social for being my exciting chatty trans pod, and to @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social for maybe being the most sincere storytelling I've heard 🦊

Started watching 'a merry little ex-mas' and wow, they made a character's whole deal just about how much he loves Harry Potter. Ew.

I went to use the ol “look I’m not a SCIENTIST but…” joke and then remembered that oh shit wait I am a scientist, i can’t use that joke 😠

When people use emoji in their gift notes but I write all the gift notes myself, by hand...

I'm starting with Jingle Bell Heist and so far it's actually pretty good. Exactly what a christmas film should be, with traditional humbug villains and all

It's a christmas film, snacks, and blanket kind of day. Can anyone recommend a good streamable christmas film released this year?

Pin sales are definitely slowing down a bunch this weekend and it's possible I may have over-invested in padded envelopes to send them out in 😂

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

Literally one of the most impactful low-effort things you can do to support trans people in the UK right now.

Just realised that at their current rate of sale these mini tree guide pins might actually sell out before Christmas 😲

I think this is my favourite pin combo I've seen people buying this week. The visual storytelling is so good #ProtectTransKids canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4405...
