It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

are the democrats....alive?

If I ever had a photo go viral, I’d beg it be this one. 💙 Austin, Texas | 2025 #streetphotography #history #activism #monochrome

sometimes a family is two fucked-up kids, a former widow, a man who abandoned his marriage to be gay at sea, just some chill guy, the literal dread pyrate blackbeard, and a woman with a pet leopard and an eyepatch. and i think that’s beautiful. 🫶

Ok man, I’ll tell them

I see a lot of so called Christians posting absolutely hateful rhetoric, diametrically opposite of Christlike behavior. Get your shit together. Stop letting politics poison your mind, or stop calling yourself Christian. FULL STOP.

We know who we are. They will not change us. We will outlast and this will end.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Legendary DP of Our Flag Mike Berlucchi lost his home in the Altadena fire. If you feel so inclined, he can be supported here 💜🏴‍☠️🦄

Jackie opens the note at her table. It reads: “Today.” She passes it to Oluwande who puts it in Zheng’s hands at the roulette wheel.

“Pff. You didn’t even know what retirement was ya twat.” Izzy’s voice, clear as day. Ed looks up quickly. No one is there.

well played, sir. well played.

doing some really important fanart over here #ofmd

Saturday Storytime? @roximonoxide.bsky.social requested I share this Pirate Twitter thread! I desperately wanted to identify the engraving by Stede Bonnet's bed on the Revenge, but nothing at #NewberryLibrary fit. Then THIS appeared in a book dealer catalogue! #ofmd @david-jenkins.bsky.social 1/7

merry Christmas for those who celebrate #gentlebeard

"You will be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

1775. An editor comes into work on Christmas eve to find a manuscript on his desk. The title: A HISTORY OF PYRATES by Charles Johnson. (We have no budget so we’ll say the editor is played by Michael Stuhlbarg).

Baby Jenks giving us s3 for Xmas 😭 fuck capitalism, fuck zaslav, you just tell this beautiful story to us like Stede reciting Pinocchio, Chaos King. 🙌

They’re dicks. Very demanding. This is a Christmas event and they want everything to be perfect. Stede’s overwhelmed and put upon at the front desk, Ed’s nowhere to be found. (Song: “You drift through the years and life seems tame.”) The year is 1719, two years after the events of the second season.

Incredibly important announcement: Stu is here! @stuetr.bsky.social #wwdits

I want you to want me.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

We will have more adventures together one way or another

Sup dork?
