My bestie took me out for a fancy birthday dinner on Saturday and I had this awesome purple flaming cocktail called The Rocket Man 😁

Haha! I haven't given a fuck since I turned 40, but I'm excited to find new levels of unfuckwithable as I start this next turn around the sun 😁

A day late bc I couldn't find these memes I'd stolen... er saved for the occasion 😁
I turned 50 yesterday! I'm still back & forth between Chicago and KY so I didn't do anything too exciting but Dad moves to IL in a week so the end is in sight! That's worth celebrating! 🎉
Missing my pirate pals 💜🏴‍☠️

It looks something like this:

Happy day to my fellow birates! 💜🏴‍☠️😁

The bisexual flag of pink, purple and blue fades in from the left side of the image slightly obscuring the left side of their face. The text at the bottom reads "Bisexual Visibility Intensifies"

Being in KY to help my parents since 8/9 means I've missed a lot of #OFMDollsSummer but I did take a few pictures of me and baby MerStede when we went on the crew trip to Salem! Here we are on The Fame. And with some replica ships at The Real Pirate Museum.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take these 🧜🏻🐙

Baby MerStede and Augie are accompanying me on my trip to KY.
Caring for elderly parents is a thing I theoretically knew was coming "someday" but you're never really ready when someday becomes today.

Life is lifing in hard mode right now but today my earrings from @asisherright.bsky.social arrived and they are gorgeous! I forgot how much I like the swish of a dangly earring 😁
Snatch every little joy you can. No matter how tiny. Like the swish of an earring. Especially when life is in hard mode💜

I still have my ODMS flag in my office too! My friend carved that logo and hand stamped every flag. A true labor of love and treasured all the more for it.

Things didn't go quite as planned but they still had a good time all things considered.
A scene from s1. Ed and Stede are in a dingy. Ed is looking at Stede with intensity and Stede smiles at him while the French party boat burns behind them.

At least my picrew is cute!

create this picrew of yourself:
picrew.me/en/image_mak...

then take this quiz:
uquiz.com/quiz/eTdXoU/...

and post the results to see what you'd be like as a fictional character!!!
Picrew cartoon version of me with short purple hair and glasses. I'm holding up a peace sign and smiling. Black text on a white background that reads: Your Result: Should Be In A Different Genre You're a good character, you should just be somewhere else. You're too serious, or funny, or kind, or mean, or ruthless, or lenient. You were truly born in the wrong universe. You would do so well, if it weren't for the genre.

Stede Bonnet is standing on a smoky deck looking up with an amazed look on his face, mouth open in wonder. A hand with a camera has been added to the image. With the words "you're doing amazing sweetie" along the bottom.

While I was in Salem last month @rosymegglemoth.bsky.social delivered this adorable baby MerStede to me 🥹
Look at his darling little face 😭
He was so worth the wait! 😍
And he has become fast friends with Augustine, the knit octopus made by @redwrensailing.bsky.social I won in the #OFMDCraft
A small crochet MerStede is nestled next to a small green knit octopus in a desk light. There is a water bottle on the desk below and several pieces of OFMD fan art on the wall behind.

Trivia was a blast and for a good cause! Thank you @aproperpirate.bsky.social and @orchid-explosion.bsky.social for putting it together!
And somehow our team (me, @self-induljennt.bsky.social and @maddie-stc.bsky.social ) came in first! 🤯☺️

Hmm... On mobile no gifs show up in my file picker for a video upload, only actual vid files.
But this one uploaded from the photo picker is gifing in the preview, let's see what happens when I post it...

We also hung out for the first time right after you got the cat tattoo!
Here's the one I got when we went to see @trewpenny.bsky.social w/ Eros and Dylan after C2E2 24 ☺️
