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 To reiterate, this Call to Action was retracted.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."

#OurFlagMeansDeath fans #NeverLeft!

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.

#MerMay 2024 🧜‍♂️🧜🧜‍♀️

🎨✍️🐙🧑‍🎨

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. 🦄🧜💜

#OurFlagMeansDeath

Today's prompt: Dagger 🗡️

From Jim's beloved dagger, to the ones Ed uses to "redecorate" Stede's quarters, to the blades Roach offers to Pete & Lucius at their wedding, we have a *pointed* wealth of inspiration.

Give us all of your mer-folk dagger 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?

Show us your theories! 👀 #OurFlagMeansDeath

🧵 Calling all crew!

On May 21, Max starts launching in Europe.

We're asking you to help us with a short campaign on the 21st — calling, emailing, flooding social media, and (as usual) polite menacing.

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

#OurFlagMeansDeath
Infographic for the 'Welcome To Max - Dont Get Attached' Fuckery. The title reads 'Fuckery: Pirates Needed' with the subtitle 'Max will begin its European launch on May 21. Want to help us cause some havoc?' Four rounded boxes list the four calls to action: 1. Call Max at their help number and clog up their phone lines! 2. 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! The hashtags to be used are #WelcomeToMax and #DontGetAttached.

There's plenty of inspiration in this episode – beautiful decor, a bath full of rum, drag, fireworks...

The possibilities are endless! Give us your best Calypso fan art, crew!

Today's prompt: Kraken 🏴‍☠️🐙

Jeff's been excited for this one! 🐙💜

The Kraken is a powerful motif, and has spawned many a gorgeous piece of art. How will it inspire you?

Get Kraken, folks! (we're sorry) 💀

Would you book an idyllic seaside holiday at Jeff's? And perhaps more importantly – would you go back the next year? 😂🏴‍☠️

Artists of the OFMD fandom, we'd love to see what you think goes on at Jeff's! 🍻🛌🌊

A still of Frenchie sewing his flag with a ball of black thread. On the flag itself as the design he is sewing is Jeff, Save OFMD's mascot, a purple octopus with big, darling eyes. In his front tentacles he works on a needlepoint design of the black and pink 'Our Flag Means Death' logo. Above his head, he works on a project with two knitting needles in orange and pink...perhaps for a certain rosy maple moth?

Today's prompt: Lighthouse 🕯️ 🏡

Lighthouses are used as symbolism for various different ideas throughout the show: a guide, the unattainable, a beacon of hope.

How will the symbol of the lighthouse inspire you?

Share your lighthouse merfolk with us. 😍 #OurFlagMeansDeath
