Our first #VisibilityBrigade standout over the oncoming traffic to the New England Patriots home game with an important message “real patriots defend democracy”

Thanks @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social for inspiring us!

When you’re at Fenway Park watching the Red Sox play the Pirates & you realize you missed out on the obvious opportunity to wear some #OurFlagMeansDeath apparel. *And* then they play “The Chain” in between innings 🤦‍♀️

Started teaching copyright law to my intro IP course last night

This morning a student has a question & asks “do you know what fan fiction is?”

Had to keep a poker face so as to not immediately tell them about *all* of the OFMD stories I have read. Or how many open AO3 tabs I have on my phone 😆🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

I am sorry you have to go through this - I had to do the same thing in 2024 & it’s not easy at all

Here’s a beautiful sunset that I captured in Nairn, Scotland - I actually showed this pic to Kristian at GCCC last year because he said he had family there!

Sending you virtual hugs ❤️

My bedroom walls are adorned with glorious #OFMD art from supremely talented artists. And I still have more to frame & hang!

Halo Ed & Stede by @scoutstiel.bsky.social

Gentlebeard kiss litho prints by @smolbus.bsky.social

Adorable Merstede & Klimt-esque Gentlebeard by @bairnecessities.bsky.social
A collage of the OFMD art on my bedroom walls. The top are two portraits, one of Ed in profile during his Kraken era with his hair half up and some tendrils framing face, and he is surrounded by a gold foil halo; the second is Stede in profile wearing his blue uniform from Zheng’s ship and he is praying, and he is also surrounded by a gold foil halo. The bottom left picture is two black & white litho prints of Stede & Ed kissing. The top is their kiss after reuniting while in the middle of fighting the British soldiers, and the bottom is the kiss during Calypso’s party. The middle picture is a cartoon of Stede in his mermaid, merman, mer-person tail. The bottom right is a picture of Ed and Stede in turquoise robes in front of a purple, swirled background embracing in a pose that is reminiscent of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.

To #OFMD crew feeling a lot now, thank you for giving me such joy with your posts, fics, art, merch & even meeting some of you irl at events

I’m not an artist or writer, but I made these stickers. If you need some joy & OFMD love these days, I’ll gladly send them to you whenever you are 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
Two stickers I created. The top sticker is a collage with a picture of Bob from Bob’s Burgers saying “it’s hard to describe. I don’t want to oversell it, but it changes you forever” over a picture of the cast of Our Flag Means Death sitting on the deck of the Revenge. The bottom sticker is an image of Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride with text saying: “OFMD fans to Max: Hello. My Name is #AdoptOurCrew. You killed my father prepare to die.”

I saw this meme only a few weeks after I took a hard turn from silent #OFMD lurker to fully active tweeter, compulsively refreshing my feed to keep up with all the news & shenanigans, totally invested in clowning with you all 🤡🪿

This meme made me realize that I had finally found my people 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

Thank you to all of the #OurFlagMeansDeath artisans & makers for all of the incredible, unique, & useful things that you make & sell!

I found these luggage tags at the ShopKayCat Etsy store - perfect for marking your checked bags with “You came back” & your carryon bag with “Never left”! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
A series of images showing the front and back of two luggage tags. The first two are black with pink thread, with the front having a kraken design & the back saying “never left” in the OFMD gothic font. The last two are teal with a yellow border and white thread, with the front having a lighthouse and the back saying “you came back” in the OFMD gothic font. They are from the Etsy shop: ShopKayCat

On vacation in Greece & I stumbled across this bag with a print that reminds me of the breakup robe. If it looks nothing like that pattern, please don’t try to cure my delusion! I see pirates everywhere…

… the only cure is for someone to please give us S3 & a few spinoffs of #OurFlagMeansDeath 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
A tote bag that I spotted on vacation. The print is vibrant & colorful & full of birds & leaves in a pattern that reminds me of the pink breakup robe from Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death!

Highlights of the Rainbow Stroll: being Lawrence’s 1st tour, watching @lizzyleo.bsky.social & @maddie-stc.bsky.social reenact a real matelotage contract, finally learning how to pronounce matelotage 🤣

The best was the entire group saying Hornigold in unison at one point 🏴‍☠️🫡❤️

#ofmd #SomethingWitchy
A photo of Lawrence, our awesome tour guide for tonight’s Rainbow Stroll through Salem. He added special pirate facts just for our group because he is a part of the crew/fandom! A group shot of the pirates at our first stop on the Rainbow Stroll through Salem. It’s easy to figure out where you need to go this weekend - just look for groups wearing oranges 🤣 A reenactment of a real matelotage contract between two pirates. Alas, it was not Stede & Ed. A group shot of everyone at our last stop on the Rainbow Stroll at the memorial to the women who were executed during the Salem Witch Trials.

I forget not everyone is an avid #OurFlagMeansDeath fan. Like when I spotted this cutie on a walk with my Dad & immediately cried out “a wolf!”

He just stared wondering if I really thought it was a wolf…

Point of this story? There is a 1000% chance I will say wolf *every* time I see a rabbit! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
An adorable bunny rabbit spotted during a walk on Deer Island in Massachusetts. No Whitesnake lyrics were recited, and the wolf hopped back into the bushes, safe & sound.

Am I going to buy this wine every time I see it? Yes, yes I am!

Anyone want to write the story of how Stede the vintner meets Ed, the owner of Kraken rum?

And for the love of Black Pete, can someone please #saveOFMD? We need our pirates back & the world needs more #OurFlagMeansDeath 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

Other than #OurFlagMeansDeath fan fiction from you glorious writers, I only read queer romance with happy endings & I always read the Acknowledgments

This passage is superb:

To our trans & enby crew, “Thank you for existing. You are doing the most in a world that is giving you the least” 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍⚧️❤️
A screenshot from the Acknowledgments section of A Chef’s Kiss: “And to every trans and nonbinary person, out or not, stuck in a soul-sucking job and surrounded by people who don't see you, appreciate you, or respect you: thank you for existing. You're doing the most in a world that is giving you the least. I love you and I cherish every atom of your beautiful being.”

I guess I’m still in the phase where every time I visit New York, I feel compelled to take a picture of the location in Times Square where our “Save #OurFlagMeansDeath” billboard once shone in all its hot pink glory 🏴‍☠️💖

Someone please #SaveOFMD & bring back our beloved pirates 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

These words at the end of the speech also apply these days:

“Kill me. kill us all. Our spirit will last throughout your entire fucking empire because we’re good and you are a rancid syphilitic cunt.”

We *are* good. Our spirit raised > $100K for trans youth. We will endure. We will stand together.

To our trans crew members, those feeling isolated/lonely, those feeling threatened, those feeling all the emotions all the time - seems like the perfect time to remember Izzy’s words:

“It’s about belonging to something when the world has told you you’re nothing”

To me, you all are everything 🏴‍☠️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

My best friend is having a fancy dinner for her milestone birthday & she has name tags with prompts for everyone

Of course I had to mention #OurFlagMeansDeath on my tag 😆

Even better? Everyone else is an academic so they all went way serious with their name tags 🤷‍♀️

Photo of my name tag has the prompt “I love talking about …” and I wrote in the answer “Our Flag Means Death!”

Thanks for bringing Ted Lasso & hopefully Roy Kent back #AppleTV!

Did you know there’s another gruff leading character who’s actually a big softie desperately wanting to love & be loved 🖤💜

#SaveOFMD & get another joyous show with a large, dedicated fanbase ready to support the new #OFMD home 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

Thanks for bringing Ted Lasso back #AppleTV. We need more nontoxic leading men, so why not #SaveOFMD & add another to your roster?

With #OurFlagMeansDeath you’ll get a loyal, passionate fanbase that doesn’t just watch this show once or twice. Seriously, the number is way higher than you think! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

#AppleTV your last show about a lovable group of underdogs was so successful you’re bringing Ted Lasso back

Have that success again if by bringing back the extremely lovable whim-prone crew of the Revenge of #OurFlagMeansDeath

#SaveOFMD you’ll get a critically acclaimed & a dedicated fanbase 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

#AppleTV thanks for bringing Ted Lasso back - hopefully Roy Kent is also back!

You should #SaveOFMD & show the world another force of nature who leads with a smile or brute force … or sometimes both!

Dear #AppleTV, your last show about a fish out of water was so successful that you’re bringing Ted Lasso back!

#SaveOFMD & you’ll get Stede, another fish out of water & also a life-saving merperson! 🧜‍♂️

But wait there’s more! #OurFlagMeansDeath comes with a huge fanbase ready for S3 & beyond! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
Two side-by-side images. One is Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, holding a teacup with his pinkie finger out. The other is Rhys Darby as Stede swimming through the water as a mer-person on his way to save Ed in the gravy basket.

Dear AppleTV, we know you love an unconventional leader who is kind, caring, & compassionate so much that you are bringing Ted Lasso back

Wanna do it again & #SaveOFMD? We need S3 & beyond!

You won’t regret bringing #OurFlagMeansDeath & this dedicated fanbase on board! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

Did I just learn how to get notifications for just one social media account today? Yes I did! 😆

He’s going to give me a heart attack if he posts all day, but nothing starts with “how it’s going”, isn’t he?

Please someone #saveOFMD & save my mental & physical health 🙏🤞🧿

We need them all back 🏴‍☠️❤️
