David sending more love to our crewmates.

Bluesky post by @ david-jenkins.bsky.social‬, quoting a post from @ AnnaAcoola.bsky.social‬ that reads: 'Dear David, as a Ukrainian citizen and a huge OFMD fan your support means the world to me! To be honest, all these years, only OFMD brainrot and our wonderful community have been lighting up my days and keeping me from losing my mind in this nightmare I’m living through. With love from Ukraine (blue & yellow heart emojis).' David responded: 'Your family is our family. Your fight is our fight.'

= Rhys Darby =

Rhys was recently in Austin and Raleigh for his stand up shows! He's posted more BTS and Darby Files on his Substack! 

Rhys sits in the back seat of a car, his head turned to the side as he looks out the window with a smile on his face. His scruffy beard is a mix of white and ginger, and his blond hair peeks out from under the front his 'Cryptid Factor' cap. He is wearing wire-frame aviator glasses, a knit sweater with a flamingo pattern, and a warm-looking brown vest with a sheepskin collar.

= Vico Ortiz = 

Our dear Jim has posted more BTS to their paid patreon!

Image from a behind-the-scenes video posted by Vico, showing Samson Kayo and Madeleine Sami in costume as Oluwande and Archie. They are outdoors in a paved lot with various tents and equipment, film crew milling about in the background. Madeleine is walking away from the camera, looking back at it over her shoulder with a smile. Samson is also captured mid-step, but facing towards the camera with a neutral expression.

Another still image from a BTS video: Madeleine Sami, dressed as Archie, naps on the floor between some folding chairs and a table, with only some dusty rubber mats and a puffer coat between her and the gravelly-looking ground.
