So, what are Siren Events' Virtual Coffee Breaks? This is what David Fane has to say about them... "That was one of my favourite parts as well, just to sit with people. It’s such a brilliant thing, sitting with someone and having a cup of tea [and a chat]." www.siren-events.co.uk/dave-and-ana...

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Remember David Fane's #TNUC accidental exclusive (that we had to bleep out) and his hilarious reaction to letting it slip? Well, the cat is officially out of the bag on Dave's Zootopia 2 role, and we can't wait to meet Truffler, voiced in his own accent 💜

There are members of our community for whom in-person events are still an absolute no. With their online-only events, @siren-events.bsky.social lets us celebrate all together, chatting online in a way most places seem to have forgotten in recent years.

Finding joy wherever we can and celebrating that joy is a fundamental part of how we all get through this. Your soul needs it, especially if you're able to fight. It's soul nourishment, when everything else is trying to drain your spirit.

Look who's back! Things that happened at Basingstoke: * Roughly 500 extra people were let in, making the building dangerously overcrowded * Armed police turned up because people were allowed in with realistic weapons * Celeb guests straight up left because there was insufficient security

Today marks the 50th anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. More than just a midnight movie, RHPS became a crucial gathering place for queers, punks, theater kids, and so many others looking for their place...and each other. Irreverent? Yes. Wild? Always. Nonetheless: Don't dream it, be it.

In the USA? Married? To someone of the same sex? Go here to get info on the documents you’ll need to protect the rights that marriage provides. There are nine. Trump’s going for Obegefell vs. Hodges, as expected. #Obegefell #OFMD

A Sunday Sneak Peek... This is happening! To help us all get through the doom and gloom of January, I'm bringing Behind Our Flag back for an all new day of virtual pirate fun. #BehindOurFlag #BehindOurFlagisComingBack #OFMD #bts #OFMDbts #SirenEvents

Mermaids supports trans and GNC kids and their families and with the new BS by the Labour with removing tans/gender elements from education, we need somewhere that trans and GNC kids can get information the government is actively choosing to keep from them. mermaidsuk.org.uk

So yes! Please donate to this charity and, if you so wish, be in with chance of winning the wee fella. Entries close on the 24th and I'll make the draw on the 25th. Let's support the merfolk 🧜‍♂️

In the face of ongoing Labour arseholery, gdi I want to raise more for Mermaids. They're gonna need all the support they can get. SO! YES! The raffle closes in 9 days! Donate £5 to Mermaids (link below) for a ticket to win this Izzy muppet signed by @therealcononeill.bsky.social #OFMD

once again I must tap my own sign

Having a lovely time rewatching this in the #TNUC Discord!! It’s especially lovely seeing David F and Ruibo experiencing the OFMD love 💖 If you missed it live, absolutely get a VOD ticket and come join us (or watch at your leisure!)

I cant wait to watch the panels I didn't manage to see in person and yell about them on discord with everyone else!

#TNUC Discord / Re-Watch Party - A link to the Siren Events discord is available on the Siren Events website, which links to both the TNUC and Behind Our Flag servers. Direct link to the TNUC server is here: discord.gg/UmYfuY3jYA

Join us!

This from the great Alan Alda. 🙌 The best advice an actor might EVER hear.

Want to hear @david-jenkins.bsky.social's impression of David Fane? David Fane's giggle? Who gatecrashed Gypsy? What sexy animal is Ruibo? What's Nathan Foad's shitest claim to fame? What did @therealcononeill.bsky.social say to Vanessa Redgrave? Watch now! www.siren-events.co.uk/virtual-even...

I am also making another batch of £50 discount codes available ahead of the #TNUC rewatch. You don't need to prove to me your circumstances, or why you need one. Simply message to request, and I'll keep on sending them until the allocation runs out.

An update! We have careened past all my expectations and I am entirely overwhelmed by everyone's generosity in supporting Mermaids. When I started doing these raffles, I only knew I wanted to try and do something useful with my arty nonsense. This has exceeded my expectations! #OFMD #IzzyHandsRaffle

The creator of it is trying to get folks to start using a hashtag! bsky.app/profile/blan...

A couple of quid off £800 🥰 I'm having the big emotions. The raffle closes on 24/7! I know £1000 is a big number to hit, but if we could do that for Mermaids, that would be incredible ❤️ Donate £5 to Mermaids & send proof to me for a ticket! Let's see how much we can raise! #OFMD #IzzyHandsRaffle

Gang, I am overwhelmed 🥹 I didn't expect to hit these numbers and so fast! Izzy has now outstripped the Calypso raffle of 2023 and is rapidly catching up with mer-Stede raffle! No wonder since this wee man bears the mark of a certain Mr @therealcononeill.bsky.social ❤️ #OFMD #IzzyHandsRaffle

But, in the meantime. A gentle reminder that I am a team of one. I am working through everything as fast as possible, but there is a lot of other admin and things that also need doing behind the scenes. I appreciate your patience 💜

Babes I just wanna say for anyone who's seen the Ao3 stats going around and now feels weird or sad about their own stats - stats say absolutely nothing about how good an author you are, or how beloved your fics are. You and your writing are amazing, and no numbers can change that.

Check out the link to @amuseoffyre.bsky.social’s giveaway of Calypso Izzy (signed by @therealcononeill.bsky.social!! Eeee!) Support and donate £5 or more to Mermaids, then send in your receipt to be entered! #Mermaids #OFMD #Pride #Muppets #TNUC www.instagram.com/p/DLVS5YYMJb...

HUZZAH! We have already raised over £200 for Mermaids in 24 hours! A fantastic start, my lovelies 🥰 And yes, you too could be in with a chance to win this lil chap and the graffiti @oneill.con applied to his tit! See below for details! #OFMD #IzzyHands #IzzyHandsRaffle

Feel the need to rewatch the #tnuc panels and bask in the chaotic vibes of our lovely crew. Bless you, @siren-events.bsky.social for giving us video on demand 🥰

ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be working hard over the next few weeks to get the official transcripts of all the #TNUC panels online along with the VOD, which we will also be using to add subtitles to the VOD. #TNUC #SirenEvents #OFMD

Picture 1: I was having a chat with Gypsy about the #battlejacket made by @baladria.bsky.social when I was interrupted by a gatecrasher Picture 2: Me interrupting Mr Conathon Olivier O’Neill to say “I appear to have acquired A CHAOS GREMLIN” #ofmd #TNUC #cononeill #gypsytaylor

Just a gentle reminder for those on antidepressants in this heat 🔥 Not everyone knows this, so please share to spread the word ❤️

Queer favourite comedy Our Flag Means Death lives on at fan-run UK convention #OFMD

A heads-up for #ao3 #fanfic writers. The current rash of long and weird troll comments are bots. This is from where I archive commissioned *art* of my fics and ships. There is no story or dialogue. Don't feel bad when you get these. It's just a bot.

This is just one of the many heartfelt messages from women who’ve signed the ‘Not In Our Name’ letter. If you believe in fairness, dignity, and standing alongside others, we’d love for you to read our letter and consider adding your name. ✍️ change.org/nion_women #NIONWomen #NotInOurName
