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!

Same-sex sexual behaviours are well documented for reindeer, female and male. Read about it in Bruce Bagemihl's Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity (1999). #queer #lgbtq #science #nature #Christmas 🌈

This data has made me profoundly sad, this morning.
We really are a nation that loves animals and hates children. These figures are so shameful (via @natacha.bsky.social).

Day 24 of #InsectAdvent and the flying reindeer have arrived!
Oh no they haven’t…
It’s a Ricardia sp (Richardiidae) that I collected from Honduran Cloud Forest, one of the many species of antlered flies.

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.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

"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.

One of these was me! Such a nice opportunity to speak about our work with woodland creation
We've had a full year of Lunchtime Lectures on a wide range of topics, from woodland management to mountain lizards; tigers to hedgehogs; e-coli to 16th century botanical art. You can watch them here on our YouTube channel: buff.ly/wewQSNi

On November 17th last year I sold my first enamel pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com in an attempt to create a new stream of income that might eventually cover the expenses of trans healthcare instead of perpetual GoFundMes 🏳️⚧️

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

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!! 📚
