The more queer characters a show has, the more likely its cancellation, too. It’s so frustrating to see so many great queer-positive shows disappear despite strong interest from viewers. Thank you for continuing to speak out! #SaveQueerStories

My friends finished watching #OFMD this week, and they absolutely loved it. Thought the show was brilliant and the story has more to give. They also want to stay at the Inn 😆.

They want to meet up soon so we can all discuss and digest everything ❤️. They may regret saying that 😁

More crew! 🏴‍☠️
Friend update, they're just about to start S2 and are asking me difficult questions like, who is my favourite character? I fear I've just sent a 10-page essay back outlining my love and affection for all of them 😀.

#OFMD
Verdict just in, they have watched a couple of episodes so far and think it's epic!!! Have actually thanked me for recommending the show. They're just going to binge the rest now.

New crew, new crew!!! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

We KNEW that's why they canceled it, but having confirmation just freaking hurts, man.
Someone save our gay pirate show 😭
It’s really funny to me they cancelled a hit pirate comedy for being gay only to find out Trump was sucking Bubba’s cock a couple years later

I'm at the vet with my old lady Colby cat. You helped me make this appointment possible, my pirates. I'm likely looking at some pricey meds and food changes so now would be a really good time to buy a comm if you thinkin about it. 🧡🧡 Please send me a dm here or on my ko-fi if you're interested! 🧡🧡

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

There are so many better magic school books that are much less mean-spirited and less biased than those ones and I say this as someone who was neck deep in the fandom in the early 2000s
I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

"Assume best intent." In general, this is a motto that has worked out for me. (Please note, this is applied to literally everything and everyone *unless* they are a politician.)

Hanlon's Razor says: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." (I don't like the word stupidity and would rather substitute the word "ignorance" because it's less judgmental) but this pretty much works for everything outside politics.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Serious answer: all three of the things that he lives for are the bare bones scraps of physical manifestations of intimacy and love. But he can't name intimacy and love because he doesn't deserve those things, offered those things and had them rejected.
Question for you all: do we think that Ed's reasons for living are the same now that he's with Stede? Or would he have replaced orgasms (still top 5) with intimacy? #ofmd

THIS 100%

Assume good faith. Give the benefit of the doubt. (That's how you'd like to be treated, after all, isn't it?)

I have not seen any fan-run paid OFMD event that *didn't* have a community fund to get as many people involved as possible. OCMD had one. Siren Events has one. Wee Con (which I helped with) had one.

I know it's weird to ask for help, so please tell us how we can make it easier to ask.

It sucks to live under capitalism. And feelings are hard.

My thought for the fandom is wise words I heard recently: "deescalate any conflict that isn't with the actual enemy". This fandom is generous and giving, period. That's why we rock.
