My frame of the project! Watercolours aren't something I've got heaps of experience with, but I'm pretty thrilled with how their silhouettes turned out.

Frame #42 of La Vie En Frames of Stede pushing Ed up against a wall. Stede's silhouette is a mix of golden yellows, while Ed's is in shades of layered purples. The scene is done in watercolours.

They should probably stop crashing weddings but Stede loves dressing for adventure and Ed loves cake and, well, here they are with the bride’s veil and a ridiculous story to share next time they see the crew 🤷‍♀️ #OFMDfanart #OFMD

Ed is wearing a purple suit and has a bridal veil attached to his hair. Stede is wearing a teal suit. They both have unbuttoned white dress shirts under their suits. They’re both wearing wedding bands.

Happy Father's Day. Here's an excerpt from a 2002 essay by my dad, Vincent Mosco, who passed away two years ago. It's about how tech bros ignore history and repeat it again and again. carleton.ca/ces/wp-conte...

One of the reasons why variations on “the end of” myths are so popular is because we collectively forget the myths that surround the history of technology. Cyberspace gurus encourage us to think that we have reached the end of history, the end of geography and the end of politics. Everything has changed. So we can apply the mute button to whatever has come before. After all, history has nothing to say to us because it knows nothing of cyberspace. But quite to the contrary, history is filled with myth-making about technology and has more to say than ever before about how we invent myths whenever we invent technology. We want to believe that our era is unique in transforming the world as we have known it. The end is preferred to more of the same; the transcendent to the routine; the sublime to the banal. So we not only view our age as revolutionary. We forget that others looked at earlier technologies in the same way.

we vote to try to consolidate enough power to make the world we want, and we organize to protect each other from the flaws of the world we have. yes, and. both, always. stop yelling at people who aren't currently doing the one you think matters, man, and do your thing even harder instead!

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's sitting on a rock and resting his arm on a fallen log. He's surrounded by foliage. He's bumping noses with a brown rabbit (a wolf!) and stroking its cheek. It's a melancholy moment, but also quiet and calm and it's nice that they had each other as new best friends for a little while.

TIL that the crew of a certain rocket will lose contact with mission control for 6 minutes during re-entry. I couldn't help thinking about how long those 6 minutes would feel to the people on the ground... Six Minutes, Rated T, 1.4k archiveofourown.org/works/82863606 #OFMDFic

Screenshotted summary of a fic called Six Minutes by Temporal_discounting. It reads ""He'll be okay, Ed," Mary says, from beside him. She reaches out, laying a reassuring hand on Ed's forearm. "They'll all be okay."

Her voice sounds calm, but when Ed shoots her a sidelong glance, he can see that the anxiety in her eyes mirrors his own.

"I know," Ed says, patting her hand. "I know. It's just… fuck. This is gonna be the longest six minutes of my life, y'know?"

Ed Teach watches from the Family Room at Mission Control while his husband, Commander Stede Bonnet, and his fellow crewmates re-enter earth's atmosphere after their flight around the moon.

Screenshotted tags from the fic Six Minutes by Temporal_discounting. The fic is rated Teen and up, no archive warnings apply. Ship is Ed/Stede. Characters are Ed, Stede, Mary, Alma, and louis. Additional tags include alternate universe - modern setting, astronaut Stede Bonnet, astronaut Ed Teach, space travel, space, NASA, established relationship, the inherent peril of re-entry, Ed Teach loves Stede Bonnet, Stede Bonnet loves Ed Teach, rated Teen for canon-typical swearing, podfic welcome
