This is Olu to me

Making art is like breathing, not in the sense that it's easy but that humans need it to thrive like we need air. Somewhere along the way, we as a species learned that art is this lofty thing that only our best geniuses are allowed to have. We need to unlearn that and discover how to breathe again 💖

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Huh. It's almost like when institutions stand up to that spineless coward fascist, he loses and folds. I sure wish more institutions would take note of that.

Transphobes are a poison. They are miserable, spiteful, and charmless and while I know hate is not particularly fashionable, I absolutely fucking loathe them.

This was such a beautiful project to be part of. I did try to do something bigger, failed, but I did manage something new by actually having faces in my embroidery 😊

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Guess who really loves us? Yup, Pirate Daddy @david-jenkins.bsky.social is coming back (again). January 10th. Let's go sluts! 🦄 🏴‍☠️ 🦄 🏴‍☠️ 💜 www.siren-events.co.uk/behind-our-f...

‘The Mountain:’ Kiwi Family Drama From Director Rachel House & Exec Produced By Taika Waititi Lands U.S. Theatrical Release. 🔗 deadline.com/2025/12/the-...

TIL that Henry Purcell wrote a song about Ed and Stede's first kiss! youtu.be/q8skEbQz6NI

back on my bullshit now

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough

You know I need you to be strong And the day it is dark, as the night is long. Feel like trash, you make me feel clean. I'm in the black, can't see or be seen. Ultra Violet 3,344 words on winter sads archiveofourown.org/works/75398021

"The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight, the weight we carry is love..." readalittlepoetry.com/2006/01/05/s...

In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war

in a deep sea universe, ivan tries to introduce ed and stede. karl the seagull and spanish jackie are gooey, and ed and stede are disturbed. swede is done with this situation, which is fiery.

It's clowning time.

🤡

Still missing AoNZ something fierce, but I think finally watching S6 of Taskmaster NZ is healing me a bit... or it's just because Paul is the most specialest boy. Remember when he cameoed on ofmd? What a time to be alive.

When a guy thinks he's a monster who can't love properly. "Best i could" but it was still love & it still meant something

I do love to think of co-captains era Ed going skinny dipping and not being shy about it and encouraging Stede to join him

Congratulations, David Zaslav, on being the most destructive force in US entertainment in the entire history of show business

The actual story of my bitch ass cat, who has been yelling at a rate of approx 3 yowls per 10 seconds (18 yodels per minute) for most of the day 💀

Just wanted to do a little messy paint study of my favorite pirate to knock off some art rust tonight. 🧡 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Not to be all Stede Bonnet about it, but doing little kindnesses for strangers IRL and online is such a nice feeling. Radical kindness, that's what #OFMD taught me.

many moons ago I did a couple frames for #ourframesmeanlove ! this was one of them! #ofmd #artnouveau

Close enough, welcome back Mary Bonnet.

Canceled in 2009 after its 2nd season. But now it's coming back! 👏🏻 I say we sail and we raise hell forever and ever until we #saveofmd

It's not even a competition... Stede is THE soft dom on ao3. Honorable mentioned to Edward who placed 11th. #StedeBonnet #Gentlebeard #ofmd

there's this place by me where they have a soup bar with 36 soups every day and every time i go i think god. every single person in ofmd would go hog wild over these soups. roach would be here in tears. ed would have like six bowls of soup in hand. jim is protecting the garlic orzo with knife drawn.

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Babe, I hate to be the one to break this to you but I've seen this happen with fanfic too. Like someone writes a fic with an antagonist and readers get extremely angry (to the point of harassment) because the writer made the antagonist a bad person who behaves badly.

Before the day is up, I'd like to remember my friend Jasper, who died two years ago today. If you'd like to remember them too, you could maybe do so by donating to the Childhood Cancer Trust, or to a Palestinian cause or family. 💜

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

Thank you everyone for your patience while I was out of commission 💜 I'm back with a 50%-off-all-View-on Demand bang, including both Interview with a Crew panels. Code valid until Monday. (This was supposed to be last week, when my brain was still couscous, but I'm not going to let that stop me.)

I find this sort of messaging so much better than insisting that the USA is somehow poor in aggregate.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
