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.

Visit my Threadless Artist Shop and you can flex with Do-Gooder Robot No. 119! 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. 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. 14

Please let me introduce you to my Supermurgitroid friend, Do-Gooder Robot No. 14!

Robot No. 14 heard sports are happening right now. Football, soccer, curling, hockey: they don’t mind watching all of it with you. They want to make sure that they are the biggest cheerleader.

The biggest cheerleader – of your snack table. They’ll try to recreate the long-lost spicy chili recipe that has been a legend in their family. They’ll even make pimento cheese rolls! They’ll make sure there is something spicy, sweet, sour, savoury and of course all of it will be delicious.

Really, it all comes down to their belief that food is love, and they want you to enjoy your favourite sport with really good food. And they want to help spread that good too. As a Do-Gooder, whenever they go to a new home, a portion of their proceeds are donated to World Central Kitchen!

If you would like to help spread some good, you can take them home from any of these shops: Threadless Artist Shop or Art of Where.

Take care,

Leslie

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 27

Please let me introduce you to my friend Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 27!

It feels like summer is coming to an end. Robot No. 27 is making the most of the last few dandelion wishes. They remember giving their robo-mama dandelion bouquets when they were newly built. It’s so nostalgic for them when the first dandelions pop up.

Robot No. 27’s human friends tell them dandelions are weeds, but aren’t all plants growing where we don’t want them to be? How can such a vibrantly yellow flower be something humans are so quick to discard? It’s the colour of sunshine on a cloudy day. It’s the only flower the grants wishes! It’s better than buying lottery tickets – dandelions are free and grow everywhere.

So Robot No. 27 is going to enjoy the last bit of summer dandelion wishes, and they’ll say one for you too! A portion is donated to ADAA or CMHA whenever they go home with a new friend!

If you want to make wishes come true with Robot No. 27, you can find them in any of these shops: Threadless Artist Shop, Redbubble or Art of Where.

Take care,

Leslie
