Reminder that Mahmoud Khalil is still being deported for his 1A protected speech.

Hi all! Back home at last. Had some other health stuff to deal with in the hospital (high blood pressure, again, etc). Following up with a retinal specialist later this week. I can still read, but it's blurry. Love you all SO SO MUCH.

Carys (lullahi) here. Mari asked me to post for her. I'm linking the latest update on her treatment below. On top of her medical woes, we've had some financial setbacks which this latest hospital stay will no doubt exacerbate. But the problem of the moment is that we have $3 to our name.

Dear friends, 5 months ago I lost vision in my right eye Tonight I have the same symptoms sg Starting in my left wanted to post one more time before I can't I love you all so much On my way to the er soon My wife will handle updates Be safe and take care of each other

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing. Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

(finally) back on my bullshit #ofmd #ofmdfanart #edizzy #izzyhands #werewolf #eyestrain

Caravaggio would’ve crawled over broken glass

As coincidence would have it, I’m in Charleston and walked past the Mother Emanuel AME. The memorial they’re putting up doesn’t mention the murderer by name but that’s a choice, not an accident. Instead it talks about the grace of those killed. They’re still collecting funds at emanuelnine.org

"Earth, Wind, and Fire. The Waterboys. Long ago, the two bands lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Rhythm Nation attacked. Only the Swedish melodic death metal band Avatar, master of the four chords, could stop them, but when the world needed them the most, they vanished."

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

In case it wasn’t already obvious, Our Flag wouldn’t exist without Butch Cassidy, The Princess Bride, or Midnight Cowboy. 2 out of 3 of these were written by William Goldman (who also wrote an unproduced screenplay about Stede and Blackbeard for Roger Moore and Sean Connery to star).

“Then he came, the speaker. He stood in the square. He told us who to hate.” Been starting my mornings with William Stafford. Did not expect this one. (From The Way It Is) #poetry #writing

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza. His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

They’ve already banned gender affirming *haircuts* for minors in some states. You could be prosecuted in Arkansas for giving girl a pixie cut. If you’ve never seen evangelical or Mormon grooming standards, that’s something you need to look into yesterday.

Hello my loves! Money is tight and one of my studiomates is struggling which means I'm not paying rent on time as well (I lease the studio). If there's anything on my site you have been eyeballing, I would appreciate the patronage very much! I'm still a few hundred dollars short 😬 SamanthaRei.com

I'm having a commission sale! $25 off any Gentlebeard commission and $20 off any single character piece of Ed or Stede. All works are in my usual full colour style. Discount is applicable on anything booked until the end of September. Ready to start today! Thank you ❤️ #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath

just giving people money turns out to be really helpful

Dino is my neighbor as well, and a great guy. If you’re so inclined, please consider sending his family $5 dollars.

coates is genuinely a generational writer

Calling all fans of Rhys and OFMD! Are you going to catch his set in Portland in October? Do you have a little extra time on your hands? Well we are putting together a little show for you ✨ Between his Friday and Saturday sets at Helium, yours truly will be serving up some afternoon delight 🔥💅

And when they all connect into their giant robot form they gain the power of the Strongly Worded Letter.

“What happened with the Black Hills is so clearly theft in relation to the U.S.’s own laws.”

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Black women are telling you not to register to attend a protest because we have parents and family and friends and church folks who survived the Civil Rights movement and in some cases didn’t And also because we read and in some cases do historical work But hey if you wanna listen to random dude

I know Wednesdays are for WIPs but I really, really needed to finish something. Please clap. #OFMD #OFMDfanart

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

World bad RN but you can help people who need help :)

Commission for the awesome @cannibalxing.bsky.social who requested Ed in THAT robe, with his best assets on display. I imagined this as Ed posing for an oil painting he's having made for his and Stede's anniversary. I think Stede will love it! Covered for artistic nudity. #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath

Behold: www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Where the FUCK do I even begin with this one

I’ve had zero sales this month at a time when I could really, really use some, especially when all the news regarding trans rights and being in a very anti-trans state ;m; I’m not in much position to move right now but the extra hand to pay debts/bills/food would help me and my partner out a lot!!

Random thing bringing me joy today: the prolonged, icepick-high, perfect final guitar note of Hendrix' All Along The Watchtower. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4...

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.

Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...
