Do you love OFMD art? Are looking for a nice gift for the holidays/a birthday/just because? Let me tell you about @illustoryart.bsky.social! Prints, pins, affirmation cards, charms... This is the place to be ❤️ Below are some of my most prized pins from them (my other merch is still in storage)

A few days ago, one of our closest family friends, a woman I’ve known all my life, who was much closer to me than most of my actual family (and who my gran kept telling me would make a fantastic MIL) died and today’s the funeral. It’s going to be a long day.

Y’all know I had a recent hospital stay due to chest pain. I received the bill after insurance and it is nearly $18k. So I created a gofundme to get some help. Every little bit helps and even a share is so so appreciated! gofund.me/cc23d1cdf

I'm absolutely sick of capitalism too, but fwiw if you want any of my print books with genuinely the biggest discount of the year, Lulu are extending the 30% off below til midnight today (2/12/2025) #booksky #horrorbooks #indieauthor #indiebooks #queerauthor #LGBTQIA+ #queerart

“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

Did I mention that the new prices for The New Uni-Con and Behind Our Flag are now live, making the Pink Friday sale even more of a bargain? All 11 of The New Uni-Con panels are now £37.50, and the 6.5 hours of behind the scenes content from Behind Our Flag is only £25. #OFMD #SirenEvents #Sale

oh y'all want pirates?? I got lots of pirates. like this one! I lost my mind and did this a couple years ago! #ofmd

asking is tough, but i'm hanging on by a thread, my housing situation is imploding, and i'm struggling to afford groceries/meds/etc 😓 if anyone is able to contribute, every little bit would be a huge help to this queer trans person rn 🫂🫶 ko-fi.com/patcheschance

market monday i love that!! inprnt and redbubble are both having sales rn! and if there’s anything you’d like me to add just let me know!! 💖 inprnt.com/gallery/emcolbs/ 💖 redbubble.com/people/emcolbs/shop

Free gifts, everyone! 🎁 I'm trying something new 😅 Make a post with our merch, mention me, and choose ANYTHING as a gift with your next order 😇 It also works if you have made a preorder earlier this month 🥰 And yes, we can ship to the US with no problem 💌 Please, spread the word if you can! ✨

was going to say I’d rather get tested on Queer Pirate Shows than food tech but then I remembered that one of our quiz answers at #theWeeCon was “a big one and lots” and I think I’ll take my chances with the enzymes… Shoutout to my brilliant team mates @sarah1979.bsky.social and @rox712.bsky.social

Passed my first bookkeeping test (2nd best in class! No idea how that happened but yay!) And instead of celebrating with OFMD, mulled wine and cookies I’m studying for the food technology exam next week. (With mulled wine and cookies but no pirates …) I’m afraid I’m turning into a 😱good student😱

Still the most beautiful scene on tv 🥹❤️🧜‍♂️ #ofmd

I couldn't get this out of my head. Had to doodle it to move on with my day. 😆 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

give him back to me #OFMD #OFMDfanart

The physical calendars are in production, but digital ones are still available for a while! yearofbelongingcalendar.bigcartel.com Support two amazing charities! Lambda Literary (a non-profit dedicated to amplifying LGBT+ storytelling) & Grassroots Gaza (a mutual aid initiative for Palestinians).

A movie that takes place where you’re from Not sure if this counts but the town in this is right around the corner so in a way it does take place where I live … and yes, it is really, really pretty there. (Also, the church in the centre - it’s made of diamonds. Sort of) youtube.com/clip/Ugkxypr...

Do I really need those French lessons tomorrow morning? 🥶

What’s the lore behind your choice of a career path? I got told by everyone that I should become a teacher and because I’m a good girl, I went to uni and studied English and German for a teaching degree which made me hate teaching. (The German department in particular was full of dicks)

Saw an ad for skirts on tumblr earlier and decided to turn today's figure practice into Ed in a skirt to keep myself interested.

this page of izzy hands' diary was actually recovered....

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Finished Wee John and his flowers 🌼 I definitely need a bit more practice drawing him, but given it's only the second portrait I ever did of him, I think it turned out alright. Also, watercolour paper isn't perfect for just coloured pencil, but I still enjoyed it a lot <3 #ofmd #ofmdart #ofmdfanart

Also, sorry, one graphic has a higher %. I'm a bit worn thin. This one is accurate. I've seen literary communities raise $2820 in an hour. Frequently. I know there are a lot of fundraisers, but we've been at this *8 months* for a Black woman owned small press; can we get a rally and close this up?

The Kraken I was apparently in A Mood last night. #OFMD #OFMDfanart

Every little helps, especially when all I need is €173.45 before Friday ko-fi.com/pompompastel #mutualaid #kofi #transmutualaid

Only two days of school this week bc tomorrow is a weird holiday here and no test next week - may even have time to watch a hit pirate rom com? 😱😱😱

So I escaped the dreaded con crud and survived the flight without any sinus shenanigans only to end up with a massive migraine that kept coming back for A WHOLE WEEK??? And I’ve got the bloody bookkeeping test tomorrow 😭😭😭. Would very much like to go back to the sea now.

This paper drake is very fond of their antiquarian books, well-loved tomes, and very special volumes. This was a print that was well-loved enough that I ran out, so I thought it might be fun to bring back as a sticker! Hope you like ‘em! 🐉📚 ko-fi.com/samikelsh/shop #dragon #cuteart #fantasyart

Frankie’s jewellery is so pretty! And Frankie is the best!

Also, since christmas can be hard, if you need an ofmd present for you or a loved one this christmas, if you can manage to cover the postage only, i will gift any piece still in stock to you 💜🎄

Jeff the Accountant is a liar. Fancy as fuck, my arse. Accounting is the most infuriating thing you can do with numbers. My head hurts.
