CW: trans related death & violence
On each #TransDayOfRemembrance, I go onto the Remembering Our Dead website to see the list of trans people we have lost to violence in the UK & the Philippines, & read about them.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

I'm on my way to attend the IOP Communicators and Outreach conference today, where I will be giving a short talk about engaging queer youth. Is anyone else that I know going today?

Learning that I am asexual has made a big impact on my science communication work. I'm grateful to my scicomm friends for encouraging me and supporting my queer journey, for the ace community for helping me explore my identity.

I realised that I am asexual at age 31 and came out a few months later. Now I'm 36, and realised last year that I am non-binary. Learnt a lot in the last 5 years, and there's still more to learn!
Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?
I never officially came out as queer, just talked about being bi on myspace from 16-20 which upset my family 🤣
I'm 37 now.

I was 18, said I was bi and my mom cried non-stop for 2 hours.

I just rewatched a recording of the first talk I ever did about being queer. I was so baby back then 😭
So interesting to see what things I would still say today, and how some of my perspectives have changed. I've come a long way in 5 years.

Robin is celebrating one year since they sold their very first enamel pin badge.
This thread has all of their pin designs, including some new designs released today - go check them out!
Robin is so incredible and talented. I'm incredibly proud of what they've created and how they make people feel.

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 🏳️⚧️
As we approach the anniversary, I'm going to celebrate one design each day

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway.
If you want a trans pin, either as a pride symbol or in solidarity, this is your regular reminder that I sell a bunch at canopyrobin.etsy.com

I'm having one of those weeks where I keep thinking "oh my god, this is my job".
On Friday I was speaking at the LGBT+ History Month 2026 launch. Yesterday I launched a local science communication competition for year 9 students (Famelab Academy).

If you're in the UK and want just the trans, nonbinary, or LGBTQ+ ones btw, I'm doing a clearance sale with £1 postage for the old ones at canopyrobin.sumupstore.com/product/clea... (basically because I changed suppliers and don't want to mix styles on Etsy)

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.
