Hook For A Head | Long live OFMD | Pride is a riot!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Saw this on Instagram and joked with friends that OFMD AUs have already covered like 95% of these. Then @yerbamansa.bsky.social told me that many fandom writers took this list as a challenge when it first posted to tumblr. Anyway I love this fandom.

Hey pirate crew, the next installment of my Planes, Trains and Automobiles AU is up! Nice long chapter today, and we grow ever closer to earning that E-rating… As always, many thanks to @dbsaveofmd.bsky.social for the beta. She’s the best 💜. archiveofourown.org/works/933975...

Oh shit Spirit Halloween has OFMD fan costumes

Who paid for Vivek Ramaswamy's pro-pedophile ad campaign? Here they are

Devastating local ecologies, consuming huge amounts of energy and water, providing very few jobs, and diverting capacity away from essential infrastructures, to produce nothing of social or economic value. World eating technology that benefits so few. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

What?? How did this slip through the cracks?? #Rhys on Celebritiy Wheel of Fortune on Friday, Nov 6th. FRIDAY, NOV. 6 8:00-9:00 p.m. EST – Celebrity Wheel of Fortune: “Rhys Darby, Jackie Tohn & David Cross” (706)

PSA for my cis (and transphobic) followers.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Ooh thank you for the marketing idea. You heard him, folks: The Originalism Trap is *the* rival of Alito's book Learn why his opinions deserve to be dunked on, how they became the law of the land anyway, and what we can do about it! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

I feel like this does not receive nearly as much attention as it should.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Just @ophelia5wims.bsky.social being extremely awesome in the Salem harbor Go to your camera roll and search for "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

"The officials... did not specify who in the White House made the decision..." Sorry... how many people are there "inside" this White House who ultimately decide what orders to give the Pentagon? I was led to believe the number was one (1)? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Four Weddings and a Funeral, for tax purposes

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

"Id"

Our Flag Means Death is great, btw. You should check it out if you haven't seen it. #OFMD

Did I write anything new for daddy kink day? No. Have I come up with any new impossibly horny scenarios for the hot sticky sweet boys that would have worked for today? Also no. But here's the old stuff anyways, I'm still very proud of this series 😌 archiveofourown.org/series/3280842

That's for YOU, OFMD fandom!!

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Musk unilaterally shut off a defensive capability just as Russia attacked power plants with winter approaching I don't know why anyone trusted him before, but certainly nobody can afford an Elon Musk dependency after this

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. ​Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.

The Trump regime has suppressed government data about impact of the big ugly bill, hiding it from voters prior to the election. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

NEW: The Trump admin just cut the time that a refugee has to submit a formal response or an objection to a Notice of Intent to Terminate refugee status from the current period of 30 days to just 10 days. This new rule, issued without the normal notice and comment process, goes into effect tomorrow.
