SaveOFMD Crew would like to offer our unreserved apologies to everyone in the OFMD fandom for the harm caused by the poorly conceived week 2 call to action we posted yesterday.

We have provided the original call to action below.
Retracted week two of the calendar from Save OFMD Crew for Pride month. The image was uploaded specifically to show the cause of the retraction, point two in the Calls to Action box, reading 'Send Emails Everywhere: support@max.com. See blog post for more emails! Feel free to include big attachments or silly links: e.g. 10 hours of "Ooo daddy" (which we have provided), or an explicit podfic.' To reiterate, this Call to Action was retracted.

🧵Yesterday SaveOFMD Crew released a post detailing our Week 2 Never Left CTAs. One of these CTAs includes sending emails to various Warner Bros. Discovery addresses, and as part of this CTA we suggested sending large attachments, such as "explicit podfic."

As Pride flags are raised all around the world, we are targeting Max & its parent company WBD, calling out the hypocrisy of corporate pride in the face of LGBTQ+ erasure in Hollywood.

We have agree with Ed, nine guns really is overkill. It makes for a great Kraken-era Blackbeard cosplay, though! 🐙

Everyone in the show comments that the Republic of Pirates has become gentrified. Can you imagine what it was like before? 💀

We want to see what the RoP was like before it "got lame."

Today's prompt: Unicorn 🦄

The unicorn is a legendary symbol of purity: its horn is said to have the power to heal.

Throughout OFMD, the crew's fate and the unicorn's go hand in hand.

Show us some pure, healing, uni-merfolk art. 🦄🧜💜

Today's prompt: Gravy Basket

We know that Buttons has been in the Gravy Basket, but the show never tells us much about his experiences there.

Who else on the crew has been down to the Gravy Basket, and what was it like for them?

🧵 Calling all crew!

On May 21, Max starts launching in Europe.

Everyone can help out, but this is your time to shine, European pirates!

Use the hashtags to make som noise on social media and get your posts seen! 3. Email customer service at Max and detail to them why you won't be subscribing! 4. comment on Max and WBD posts to tell people why they shouldn't get attached!
