Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 119

Please let me introduce my friend, Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 119!

Do-Gooder Robot No. 119 is ready to pull up their sleeves and put in some elbow grease. They’re one of the bravest robots I know, they’re not afraid of hard work.

Like their Inspiration, Rosie the Riveter, they’re ready to do what needs to be done – whatever “it” is at the time.

Robot No. 119 believes in a world where everything is possible and everyone is taken care of. They want others to be brave too, and to work toward a world that is fair and safe for all to be who and what they want.

That is why they’ve chosen to be a Do-Gooder for the Centre for Reproductive Rights. They want to leave a legacy that’s helped women to be free to decide about their health, their motherhood options, and that women are free to do so without discrimination.

Let’s help Robot No. 119 attain this vision, and let’s do some good together.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 4

Please let me introduce my friend, Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 4!

Do-Gooder Robot No. 4 is relatable in many ways. Even in their robot land, sometimes others are well-meaning but Robot No. 4 isn’t ready to talk, and sometimes they just have a resting face which belies how they feel.

Either way, Robot No. 4 has learned to just walk around with a smile on their face. It’s just easier because then they don’t have to explain why they aren’t smiling, or have to explain that nothing is wrong, or that they aren’t ready to talk about it yet.

Robot No. 4 wants to share that they understand this isn’t the greatest way to deal with things, but it can just be easier. Since they know how these situations often go, they also want to share that they are happy to lend an ear should you ever need. They’re a quiet robot who will just listen or just sit and hold your hand—whatever you need at the moment.

A donation is made to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America whenever Robot No. 4 goes to a new home.

Do you have a resting face that isn’t quite what others expect? Visit my Threadless Artist Shop and you can share your feelings with Robot No. 4! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Take care and thank you for being here,

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 34

Please let me introduce my friend, Supermurgitroid Robot No. 34!

When I first met Robot No. 34, we actually had to talk about how 4:30 a.m. is a bit early to be listening to The BeeGees. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a massive fan of the band, but not of the time! They completely understood, and we installed a headphone jack and a got good pair of headphones for them to use.

It is impossible to not smile when Robot No. 34 is movin’ and groovin’ on their skates as they roll around the house and the neighbourhood. They find such joy in their music, they completely lose themselves when they’re in the groove. They tend to smile when they dance, and I just know that they’re in their happy place. It’s a joy to be privy to these experiences.

Do you feel like you’d like to boogie with Robot No. 34, they can be found in my Threadless Artist Shop!

Take care and thank you for being here,
