On the train to Canterbury to meet @graceofcalypso.bsky.social and her fabulous kids. Listening to @happydaiz.bsky.social read a story by @marriedstate.bsky.social Grateful for pirate friends for bringing joy into my life.

Sounds nice.

To everyone but this one is particularly for @citrussyndicate.bsky.social

I hope to take as many interesting art classes as I can find. Especially enameling. (Glass & jewelry? Absolute joy) And see more pirate friends in person 🏴‍☠️❤️‍🩹

What was the last movie or tv show you watched in 2025?

Happy New Year, everyone! This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.

Have some more adorable Rhys on House of Games to get your new year started on the right foot. 🎉

Happy New Year all! May next year be a better year for us all.

Sneaking up on the new year, I’m grateful to be here. Sharing this love letter to the fandom and thanks-for-the-kindness to @therealcononeill.bsky.social It’s from our local bloodbank to encourage folks to donate, and I’m humbled to be included❤️‍🩹 bloodworks101.buzzsprout.com/775991/episo...

He’s so flipping adorable on House of Games.

Saw this restaurant across from the theatre and thought of all the fancy restaurants Roach opens in AUs. Made me smile☺️

Quit twitter so I had to find my own balloons. So nice to be turning 64 because not only is it an elegant number as it’s 2 to the 4th power, but according to Paul McCartney I’m officially old. And grateful to still be here❤️‍🩹. Much love to my pirate pals who make everything better.

This is the best two-hours-until-my-birthday gift I could imagine! 🎉

So I’m here to say you should be envious of me because I just spent the most delightful day with the lovely @owltrousers.bsky.social . The Gayeux tapestry is remarkable in person; such tiny stitches! We chatted for 6 hours and barely took a breath. New (and old) pirate friends are the best! 🏴‍☠️💖

Post a perfect album from the 90’s. I was in my Irish trad phase. 💖.

Georges and Albin. 💖

The OFMD fandom 🥹 (from the wonderful Terry Pratchett)

Just having a peak at the digital Gentlebeard calendar and was reminded that I’m in a birthday sandwich between the lovely David Fane and Nathan Foad and that delights me. David is tomorrow, then me, then Nathan. Solidarity with others who share the worst time of year to celebrate 🎉

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... This article is great. And I just learned that the Portland Frog hat was designed by a lovely woman I’ve taken classes from🥰

How do I know I’m in London? I’m reading pirate smut in a Pret🤭(thanks @insane-foliage.bsky.social)

Happy holiday you marvelous pirates. Ed can’t wait for Stede to unwrap his chocolate Santa🤭

Shamelessly borrowed from the FB group. Happy Christmas twats!

Cleaning out my purse but this pen from the Hyatt Regency has been in it since that magical ECCC weekend. And this sticker lives on my iPad cover, so I always feel like pirate pals are near. It’s about belonging to something.

Just was reminded that Rhys is on House of Games next week. I’m sure it will be delightful. 🥳 Usually on YouTube the day after.

My spinning teacher described me as a Craft Slut, so I’m embracing my dilettante-ness. So micromosaic, enameling, ice dyeing, modern mosaic, woodblock printing. Except for the scarf, all things I did in classes.

Wrote something about getting old, gratefully. Looking forward to seeing @graceofcalypso.bsky.social and @owltrousers.bsky.social 🏴‍☠️💖

In case you needed to see Muppets with farm animals today. Also want to thank @amuseoffyre.bsky.social and @gonzovstaika.bsky.social for all the muppety joy they have brought to the fandom. If the going gets tough, remember we’re all in your pocket. It’s about belonging to something. 🏴‍☠️💖

Last night of Chanukah. May we all find more light in the world.

Stumbled into a video of clips from The Good Place and am stunned again at how smart it was. I haven’t watched it since the finale, which was bittersweet. The pandemic happened soon after and the ending retroactively broke my heart. Thinking it might be time for a rewatch.

Stede’s looking to try something new so he signs up for this workshop. He finds he likes it very much.

Hee hee! They really tried 🤭

This is the Hallmark movie I’d watch. It’s utterly delightful.

QT with a game that transports you back to your childhood. This was all there was. We didn’t get it until just before I left for college. So I’m not a gamer🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you reading this? Then you know update days are the best. If you haven’t started it, I’m nudging you with my most gentle reading-teacher-trust-me look🧐.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie.

#TaikaTuesday Oy, that face🥰

I had planned to see Hamnet today. Loved the book, heard it was excellent. But I feel like it would act as The Onion Bar in The Tin Drum,where you go to start crying and then you can’t stop. In a world that is so hard, you’re always on the verge of crying but don’t. Not sure I could handle it today

Even more poignant today❤️‍🩹

www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/d... My other favorite thing. If you’re in the UK, it’s going on tour. If you’re near London or NY, give it a shot.

I just can’t take any more monumentally horrible news. Thank you Rob Reiner. May your memory be a blessing.

For my art pal @citrussyndicate.bsky.social and anyone else of course ❤️‍🩹

First night. May there be a little more light in every day. Love to all you pirate pals. Thanks you artists and gift giving friends who adorn my life.

For the first night of Chanukah I thought I’d share this wonderful story written as the Jewish year started in Sept. Ed’s complicated, hesitant, nostalgic journey is so familiar. It’s romantic, and wonderful about grief. Thank you @dbsaveofmd.bsky.social 🕎 archiveofourown.org/works/712903...

this one hits too close to home: www.webworm.co/solidaritywi...

What actor’s facial expression will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Doing Calypso’s good work over on Threads, which is such a contentious place I find it weirdly fascinating, in a sociological way. But I had to jump in here. Because that’s what cult members do🤭🤷🏻‍♀️🥰

For @ghostalservice.bsky.social and anyone else who might enjoy a Seattle sunset. Happy Friday all you cute pirates 💖
