Watching this ice skating all I can think is “where is the secret boyfriend?”

Gonna tell my kids this is Heated Rivalry

It's the last day of Act of Grace 🥲 but don't fret! We have another packed day of panels for you~ Starting with the @youonlyframetwice.bsky.social team in just 10 minutes! So come hang out, peruse our Artist Alley, and enjoy some good piratey fun~ #AoGVC

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over at work. "I'm right on top of that, Rose." (OK, not actually, and her name isn't Rose, but you get the idea.)

🧜‍♂️

I have a grocery bag full of assorted snacks, a mug of coffee, and I'm all set to listen to Day 1's panels! #AoGVC Act of Grace Virtual Con #OFMD🏴‍☠️

Yay! #AoGVC

I'm starting to think a little more about trying to write the (movie name redacted) AU fic, but my new job has me so exhausted when I get home that I never seem to have the free time or mental energy to write that I did when I was underemployed. How do you fic writers who work FT do it?

OMG! this is so cute! Former gymnast Ed and dorky DILF Stede 🏅💜💞🥰🏴‍☠️ #OFMD #Fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/532821...

😆

I've had folk ask how I plot things out and a year or so back, I found a perfect way to describe it

So cute!

CN: Food I had grits for breakfast and chili with cornbread for dinner. If I have popcorn later, will I turn into an ear of corn?

I had a dream that I was listening to an explicit podfic in public but my headphones were not plugged into my phone, so everyone around me could hear what I was listening to. I woke to discover that Soundcloud had been playing random podfics for hours from my phone on the pillow next to me. 😅

2026 is three weeks old and already Billy Joel could write an entire We Didn’t Start the Fire about it

I should send this to my ex-husband. He'd be mad for hours when his teams lost, and they often lost. I don't miss being around his grouchy ass at all.

On a whim (and on sale), I bought some Reese's Peanut Butter Cup-flavored creamer. It's kind of weird in coffee, but it's great in hot chocolate!

Thank you, my pirates, for keeping us all so well fed.

Multigrain toast with cream cheese and marmalade - it's that kind of day. I miss them. 🏴‍☠️#OFMD

The Jam Room cracks me up every time! I always hoped they would come back to it later.

New Year's resolution to eat a "rainbow" of foods. Do Sour Patch Kids count?

Close enough, welcome back Karl.

Same!

🏴‍☠️ Is it weird that as much as I love #OFMD, I've only watched it all the way through about 4 times because I'd rather read more of the amazing fanfics you clever pirates have written? And see the art, listen to podfics, listen to podcasts about OFMD, and skeet about it all on bsky?

Fic tally: I doubled my fic output in 2025! Which is to say I wrote my first fic in 2024 and wrote two more in 2025. 😊 This is supposed to say "joules of the sea" as my author name, but whatever. I'm proud of myself. Who knows what I'll write in 2026! archiveofourown.org/users/Dahlia...

I don't usually read really long fics (30 chapters), or listen to podfics much, but I finally started listening to "Prove It" (GBBO AU) written by @knivesinfeet.bsky.social and recorded by @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @happydaiz.bsky.social, and it keeps getting better and better! Links below.

Happy New Year! May 2026 bring you all good things.

This is amazing! 🏴‍☠️💙

Some Calvin & Hobbes-style Garlic Soup shenanigans for December 30 on @roximonoxide.bsky.social 's Advint Calendah 💙 Go check out the full calendar at ourflagmeans.gay/2025/, there are so many fun goodies to discover!! #OFMDart

murray christmas

I'm making my decadent Ferrero Rocher brownies. Make a box of Ghirardelli brownie mix per the box. Crush 8-9 Ferrero Rocher candies in a baggie, and add them to the batter. Makes an 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Double everything for a 9 x 13 pan.

Merry Chinese Foodmas to all who celebrate!

#HR #HeatedRivalry My S.O. decided to get HBO for a month, so I'm giving this hockey show a chance. I've seen episodes 1 & 2 so far. Is there more of a plot in upcoming episodes?

don't forget to leave condoms and lube out for edward teach tonight

The #1 movie from when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go.

by the time this is over they’ll have added his big dumb sharpie signature to the declaration of independence

I plugged in the lava lamp I haven't used in years, and the blobs aren't blobbing. I was hoping to give it away in the office white elephant gift swap. Any ideas for a good, cheap (under $10) swap gift? Or tell me about the best gift you gave/received/saw at another gift swap.

My mom sent me a "Banorah" this year's hit novelty Hanukkah gift: a ceramic yellow banana-shaped menorah. She thinks it's hilarious. Maybe I lack whimsy--I'd love to give it away in my office white elephant gift party, but no one else at work is Jewish.

Why didn't I know that Matthew Maher is in Elsbeth S3:E9 "Glamazons"?! It's not a big role, but he has a few lines.

Same.

I’m doing a print give away in 24 hours to spread holiday cheer thanks to a generous donation! ⛄️ So, comment your favorite moment with your favorite OFMD character and share this post (DO BOTH THINGS) and I’ll add your name to the mix to choose a 5x7 print of art posted on this account.

It was definitely a soup kind of night. I couldn't decide between chicken corn chowder and broccoli cheese soup, so I made a hybrid of both. It came out pretty good. Maybe a little bland. I think it is one of those soups that will taste better the next day.

might cry seeing the timeline filled with so much beautiful human art made by people who actually have the love and passion to create

“They’re still on the journey, the two of them. And the best is yet to come.” 💖🏡🐈 #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmdfanart

DO YOU EVER CRY AND CRY AND CRY ABOUT HOW PERFECTLY EM CAPTURED THE JOURNEY THE OOTB BOYS WENT THROUGH RIGHT ON THAT COUCH 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm back in freelance mode today. I'm editing a non-fiction book, by an amateur self-published author, and the author's cited sources for various facts are simply: Wikepedia (no particular page) NYT (no particular article) etc. Ummmmm. I can't even.

🧶 Ten rows in, and I think I have the hang of knitting with the DPNs. The 2nd color looks gray in the photo, but it's a slate blue. It's nice to have something meditative to do when insomnia strikes, as it often does.
