If you don’t sew you might not realise that the red silk is too small to make anything, which is likely why Ed’s mom was able to keep it. It’s garbage. And it’s the finest thing in Ed’s life. But Stede says no, it was something beautiful and fine all along.

I want to do a little thread now that the WGA strike has ended to share a story most of you don’t know about the kindness of the people behind this show, and Alex Sherman in particular. 🧵
The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at .
#WGAStrong
If you think “we’ll wait out writers until they lose their homes” is a cruel and cowardly move from the AMPTP, here’s how you can show the WGA that OFMD fans have their back. Since the 2nd week of the strike, we’ve been providing snacks for WB picketers. Any donation helps.
The

isn’t done, and neither is the OFMD fan crew! We’re streamlining donations and deliveries. Now you can donate to the strike food+supplies fund using our PayPal fundraiser. Learn more and donate today:

Yeah that’s right, OFMD fans are sponsoring a whole-ass FOOD TRUCK for the first day of Pride! PLUS ice cream. The WB picket lines are the hottest club in town
#wgastrike
Yeah but what about when Stede is facing Prince Ricky, forlorn, no crew, zero bitches, and then he hears it —
“On your left.” And Magic Man emerges from a wormhole.

(this is coming from an anglo who’s never lived in Montreal, just visited) Montreal is:
Very beautiful
A tiny bit cold
Old-fashioned architecture (lots of stonework and wrought iron), almost like it belongs in another era
Very cool
French
Kind of European in an effortless way
Hi, all! I’d like to organise delivery to
#OFMD
writers from the fandom à la Claire’s support of Trek writers below. We wouldn’t have our show without writers. Please read on if you’re interested in getting involved.
Trek fans: I’m going to attempt to organize an UberEats snack delivery rota over the coming weeks for where Trek writers are striking and/or for everyone striking at Paramount. gathering info now but reply here if you’re interested and I’ll DM you once there’s a plan. 🖖🍩🥤❤️
I wish fellow autumn lovers a very crunchy leaf. May you find a sweater in the back of your closet that fits even better this year. Put an afghan your auntie knit on the bed. Let the tip of your nose grow cold as you tug a hat down over your ears. Put cinnamon on everything.

My theory is once you become famous enough it’s such a hassle to leave your house that you have to cram the outside world into your home.
That doesn’t apply to the this guy though. Maybe it’s a status thing for him.
Doing a s2 rewatch and keeping your eye on Matt Maher will never let you down. When they steal Jackie’s puzzle chest and she calls them assholes, he does this “hey!” shrug like she has no right and I laughed out loud.
the crew has exactly three speeds:
- love for our cast and crew
- massive aggression for HBOMax
- fighting amongst ourselves about Izzy Hands
and baby, we’ve got full sails and the wind at our back
h/t to the Ask A Manager commenter a ways back who recommended fandom as the best way to make friends in adulthood, prompting a Proustian madeleine-like reverie in me as I realised that’s how I’ve met almost all of mine

“average person eats thinks of Spider Georg 3 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person thinks of Spiders Georg 0 times per year. Lucy Butt, who lives online & thinks of him 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
I love finding out that there’s a sleeper cell in every woman I know that’s been activated by the Barbie trailer. We thought we were all these very different people and suddenly RRRARGH YES BARBIE SUPREMACY. LIVE BY THE PINK, DIE BY THE PINK
Izzy Hands has a cat he thinks the world of. She weighs four pounds and hisses at everyone. She likes to hides under cabinets and swipe at your ankle. She will only sit on Izzy’s lap.
Catch me double-checking these tweets so many times to make sure I wrote “friends who are adults” and not “adult friends”. Friends who are adults and no funny business-finder
Question for you: when you see a plane taxiing at the airport, do you go “wow, that’s a really big car?” No? Because sometimes planes are on the air, and sometimes they’re on the ground. But they’re always. Still. Goddamn. Fucking. Planes.

The third Pirates of the Caribbean going “actually, Elizabeth isn’t a pirate queen. She’s stuck on land for the rest of her life.” I’ve seen the first two countless times and the third exactly once.

Goddammit, OFMD fandom. You have my whole fucking heart.
It’s truly amazing we can get so much done while wearing size 57 shoes and our honk-honk noses 🤡
Update: You all are the most amazing crew, we raised a ton of funds to support the strike! Thank you!! My shift (
@castalianspring
,
@lucyundersnowe
, and
@youhavethehonor
) was covered, + support for 2 bonus shifts, +2 days of hydration fund. TY
@sourcitruslady
for organizing! 😭💖
there’s a part in haunted mansion where danny devito says that the house appeared “by magic” in 1788 and that “the land had never been worked” but also, all the ghosts are unrelated, that’s a different thing, they just wanted to clarify some stuff about their plantation house
I can’t emphasise how unnecessary this was. None of us taking part in sending snacks were looking to get anything. We just have a lot of energy as a fandom that we could channel into something positive!
The workers on this show are just as hinge-free about it as we are, but they can’t all promote what they’ve worked so hard on. The least we can do is share this wonderful show we love so much, and never forget:
I would really love to be able to keep WGA picket line snack deliveries from OFMD fans going through to Flag Day, June 14th. Please DM me if you want to take part, or RT if you can’t — getting more eyeballs on it really helps.
This is still going on, by the way! Local volunteers are doing it in a more centralised and efficient manner now. You can help them help SAG by donating to
@OFMStrike
! It helps show that fans are supporting the unions and are behind our faves 100%.
@pirate_wannabe1
I have friends and family members who are super kind and curious and accepting of my hyperfixations, but that’s no match for a community that’s like “yes, we will scream for joy with you.”
In the last few days before s2, America decides STEDE BONNET'S BEST S1 OUTFIT
There are 52 different looks. Variations (adding a hat, losing a jacket, etc.) are counted. Repeats (the same outfit again) are not.
It’s no secret that
#OurFlag
has the greatest fans out there. The support you’ve shown us writers these last few weeks has meant so much. We’d love to invite you out to join us on the picket line for a very special Flag Day (6/14)! Costumes encourageddd!!!

So I started crying in my car on the drive back from the Rhys Darby show. Happy crying. And I realised today was one of the best days I’ve had in a really long time.
