My shop is officially open! 🥳 ko-fi.com/s/fa54222ac8 #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmdfanart *If you’re interested in the medieval Stede acrylics, I’ll be opening a pre-order for them TOMORROW. If you’d like to bundle them with anything from here, place your order tomorrow for combined shipping. 🎺

What. The. Fuck?!

Our Flag Means Death. That's all I need to say.

Baby's first skyfic - apropos of the insane thunderstorm I'm watching right now... Stede has been dating Ed for a few weeks now. Today had been perfect - it was the first time Ed had met Stede's kids, and they had wiled away hours at the beach, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather.

Holy carp y'all I found another pirate shirt! This one is a size large. Help me get it into the hands of someone who needs/wants it 🍊🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 #ofmd

What's really striking about this clip is that I laid out some of the nonsense against me - and why it was disproportionate. Journalist agrees some of it is "overcooked." But none of my explanation nor the danger around my personal safety has made the cut....!

This country has heard enough from Tony Blair.

remember when i said i had some cosplay stuff? here's some of it! Ed & Stede flavoured rings. top row has their approx sizes. ABC&F are real silver from vintage shops and fleas. D&E are modern unknown alloys. hmu if you want anything

Finally cleaned up a lighting study I started over a year ago 🙏 #OFMDart #OFMD #artsky

Blair was (and remains) a neoliberal little shit who betrayed everything the Labour Party was supposed to stand for.

Went to my drs appt this am, did a food shop, and took CoCo to the park for ice cream (and a doggy ice cream for her). Felt good to spend time outside. Still need to do food, wash dishes, and put clothes away, and can feel an energy crash coming on 😭😭 Good news is that the Shingles has mostly

Hearing already about lots of businesses that are changing their toilets to be trans inclusive so they don’t have to police them. We need to organise a “Nobel Piss Prize” for businesses/service providers who fail to have inclusive facilities.

It finally worked by the way. I finally managed to create a redbubble after my mum insisting on me trying to make some money out of the time I spend drawing. So you can prove me wrong in my belief that no-one wants it and rep a cute mushroom. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1707...

Unemployment/ economic inactivity rate currently lower than New Labour era. Non pension welfare spending about the same as a % of GDP.

Rhys' episode of 'Bear Grylls is Running Wild' airs next week! Here's the trailer they just aired. 😍

Tony Blair popping up like some ancient primordial evil as if things weren't bad enough.

I love the kisses in OFMD. But I remembered David Jenkins talking about the You wear fine things well scene, and "and that's a kiss" stuck in my head and needed to get out. It's a bit wonky and a bit wrinkled but here are a few that's a kisses

people into Just Not Being Ill, and stress makes sick people universally so much worse. It says so fucking much about how neolib myths and capitalist bullshit have our countries over a barrel that they don’t even fucking try forcing companies to just make work more accessible under law

Because you cannot, in fact, harass people into Not Being Ill. You can make them sicker (they have), you can harass them into suicide (they *really* have) and you can make them go back to jobs that are making them sicker until they collapse at work (too bloody frequently) but you can’t harass

Can you imagine if they spent the cash they’ve spent on years of completely pointless badgering of sick and disabled people funding accessible adjustments and paying reasonable costs for hiring sick and disabled workers the way Germany do? Funding workers co-ops for sick and disabled people?

You can tell they haven't talked with disabled people. A worker who gets ill after years of work, often *because* of work, needs a doctor, not a job coach. Treatment, rehabilitation. They know how to write a CV. Employers need to hire them, not bin their CVs. Reasonable adjustments must be a right.

"Advice on workplace adjustments" sounds nice — pointless unless the employer is guaranteed to provide the adjustments. They are not. Based on Maynard's review, who talked to businesses, not disabled people. The aim is for these services to take over the issue 100,000 fit notes, now work-focused.

This is a trial across four NHS integrated care boards. Two will have patients bypass GPs entirely and be sent for support focused on staying in work, job coaches, etc. At the other two, the GP will issue the initial note then send onto other work support services e.g. Work Well when requested.

The government is really determined to make life unlivable if you fall ill. Job centre advisors etc., instead of recovery and recuperation. AI instead of doctors and nurses. Way to go while also neglecting public health. NHS to trial GPs no longer handing out ‘sick notes’ www.ft.com/content/9077...

He's just a little guy

This is where the relentless, obsessive, and malicious trans-hostile rhetoric pedalled by ‘gender critical’ transphobes, the mainstream UK media and spineless, opportunistic politicians leads… 😣 👉 metro.co.uk/2023/05/25/i...

In case you’re not on Threads. 😎🏴‍☠️💖

Who the fuck summoned this twat?!? Did some kids wander into a deserted shack in the woods find a leather bound book and draw a pentangle?!?

Remember when Ed allowed Stede to take his whole heart from his hands? Then Stede gently folded it and tucked it into Ed's pocket like it was the most precious thing he ever held? Remember when that was a kiss? Fuck, I miss our show. #ofmd

TL;DR It’s hot as all fuck. Skip the dog walk. You have my permission. Signed, Your friendly neighbourhood veterinary surgeon.

If they're prepared to stay in Labour if Burnham wins, then the Greens shouldn't be accepting them if he loses.

Redbubble's got some sales this weekend and I've got a larger version of this kiss frame finally up 💜 check it out if you're feeling like some retail therapy www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1767...

A nationalist workers party... where have we heard that before?!

I'm Specimen Rejected.

CW: Rape This made my blood boil! The sentence handed out to the offenders isn't anywhere near harsh enough, and they absolutely should have been imprisoned. The victim has to live with this horrendous trauma for the rest of her life, and the impact of any prison sentence on the offenders pales

It's warm outside already. It could be perhaps the hottest day of the year so far, but Shingles is leaving me feel cold to the point I keep getting goosebumps 😞 I'm not actively contagious so I'm heading up to my parents for a bit shortly. Hoping a sit in the garden will warm and perk me up.

There was a time, not long ago, when peaceful protestors were never sent to jail in the UK But at least 286 people have been locked up for protesting climate breakdown and genocide in recent years It's a fucking scandal

what if. what if he leaned in and sucked on Ed's thumb. maybe bit down gently. all while maintaining eye contact like this

Ed put him to work at Blackbeard’s Bar & Grill and Other Delicacies & Delights and Fishing Equipment but after one too many customers were flirting he had to implement a “all employee shirts must have sleeves” dress code

FUN FACT: No one has committed more assassination attempts against Donald Trump than Donald Trump.

Is he fuck!

I’m 43 years old, I work in comedy, I’ve worked on BAFTA & Emmy award winning comedy projects… but the funniest thing I’ve ever heard was when my French aunt mispronounced Tom Hanks’ name as… TOM HONKS. It still makes me laugh just typing this
