Posting this for context as to how Siren Events has always approached this very topic (and this is only one of many, many similar examples):

I have absolutely nothing useful to contribute but this came to mind

(and now I can hear Ed and Stede giggling about it)

I just got back from @jococruise.bsky.social where the muppets made by @amuseoffyre.bsky.social had a lovely time. Here they are pictured after the Dance Hell party where they danced their little fuzzy hearts out (to music like the Wii Shop Theme)

As in my pfp, these silly little Jellycat pufferfish (inspired by @janesane.bsky.social and her Ed's love of preserved pufferfish) have become little balls of joy for many of us.

Completely unplanned, we invaded Our Con Means Death 2023 with emotional support pufferfish.

I discovered this poem this year and for me it encapsulates what "talking it through as a crew" really entails: not a twee, throwaway thing, but a powerful one - a constant challenge of really listening and being present with each other, avoiding the constant urge to make assumptions.

For Ed and Stede, too. For everyone.

Remembered this poem and...yup.

One of my favorite and most relevant quotes.

OH WAIT yes I did! This guy?

"There is nothing more pathetic than caution
when headlong might save a life,
even, possibly, your own."

@kristiannairn.bsky.social welcome! Have a Mary Oliver poem about dogs (also for @therealcononeill.bsky.social )!

Sleepy eepy pirates are still too excited from the weekend to go honk-shuu mimimi.

(Thank you @amuseoffyre.bsky.social for the beautiful boys!)
