Hey luvs, I know I'm super behind again-- I actually took a couple days off from work to catch up on all the stuff I have to get done around the house and online I'll do my best to be caught up over the next couple days! <3

= David Jenkins =

David's been keeping active over on bluesky and sending some love to our crewmate Danielle aka dbsaveofmd.bsky.social! 

Bluesky post from DBSaveOFMD (Danielle) with a photo of her and Nathan Foad at a convention. Nathan has one arm around Danielle in a side-hug and they are smiling at the camera. She is wearing a tank top with the words “Created by David Jenkins” printed on it. Her post reads, “Feeling sad tonight & going through my pics in a sentimental mood. This was a good day & Nathan Foad is a gift, so that’s worth remembering (Holding Back Happy Tears emoji). And he really liked my shirt (Purple Heart emoji, Pirate Flag emoji).” David (david-jenkins.bsky.social‬) has quoted Danielle's post and responded: “Don't be sad you have the coolest shirt (Blowing A Kiss emoji, Unicorn emoji).”

Lots of Rosie and Theo out with the team as well!

Instagram Story from @ RhysieDarby: a selfie of Rhys sitting at a table with a laptop and several other computer screens. He is wearing a headset and looking at the camera with wide eyes and a delighted grin while pointing at the laptop screen. At the top and bottom of the image, Rhys writes, “Helping to run the @ SailGPNZL today. The Kiwis proved why we're the most feared on the water.. Like how people fear me when I'm behind a computer.” He has also tagged SailGP along with SailGPNZL.

Photo of Rhys posing with New Zealand sailor Peter Burling. They are standing in an outside area in front of a large banner with the words “Black Foils SailGP Team” and a picture of a team on it.Rhys, his wife Rosie and their son Theo talk to some of the Sail GP staff. They are seen from behind, standing in a room with many laptops and/or computer screens on several rows of desks and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the water.

Rhys sits at a desk, frowning down at something in concentration, one hand gripping the side of his headset. He is wearing a Black Foils baseball cap and a VIP lanyard.

Group photo of Rhys, Rosie and Theo with the Black Foils team.

Rhys, Rosie and Theo pose behind large white 3D letters that spell out “Sail GP”, next to the New Zealand team's flag. Rosie and Theo are smiling happily at the camera, while Rhys seems to be shouting something and has his arms raised in a self-clasping handshake as if to celebrate a victory.

Other great news in the Darby News was Season 2 of Monsters At Work, where Rhys voices Roger Roger, won an Emmy for Outstanding Voice Direction! Congrats team!

Poster for the animated Disney show “Monsters At Work” from the “Monsters, Inc.” franchise. The words “Children's and Family Emmy Winner” are written above a picture of a tall purple monster with long, bull-like horns being pulled in opposite directions by many different monsters, who are emerging from two doorways.

= Samba Schutte =

Samba was sharing lots of memories and friends!

Instagram Story from @ SambaSchutte, with a black & white mirror selfie of Samba getting a haircut. He is looking in the mirror with a closed-mouth grin and one eyebrow raised while his hairdresser works. Text at the top of the image reads, “One of the best in the biz for curly hair. Thanks for the trim @ TaosRojass (Sparkle Emoji, Folded Hands Emoji).”

Instagram Story from Samba, featuring a selfie of him and a friend standing in front of a wooded area, both of them smiling at the camera. Samba has tagged his friend, @ vig_krishnan1, and text at the top reads, “Cheers to 30 years of friendship” followed by 4 emojis: Sparkles, Ethiopian flag, arrow, US flag.

Another Instagram Story from Samba, with the text “From old vision board to IRL (2 Sparkle Emojis, 1 Folded Hands Emoji, 2 Sparkle Emojis)” and 2 pictures: At the top is a photo from inside a movie theater, with the screen showing a close-up shot of Samba's face, and at the bottom is what looks like an older photo of a full movie theater, but the screen is white with “Samba Schutte in” written on it in handwriting.

Our beloved S2 photographer was kind enough to post more /updated stills!

A still from the Our Flag Means Death Season 2 finale: Stede (Rhys Darby) and Zheng (Ruibo Qian) run from a group of English navy officers on a beach.

A still of Stede and Zheng fighting the English: Stede has gut-stabbed one of the officers, who is staring at him with a creepy grin, while Stede himself is grimacing and looking at something out of frame as he tries to pull his sword free. Behind him, Zheng is fighting another officer, her bloodied sword raised above her head.

A still from Our Flag Means Death season 2, episode 7: Stede and a bunch of his new friends/fans sit outside Spanish Jackie's bar in the Republic of Pirates, laughing and talking while a man is literally on fire right in front of them.


A behind-the-scenes photo from the storm scene in season 2, episode 2: Taika Waititi (Blackbeard) stands in the pouring “rain” on the deck of the Revenge set, bending backwards with his head tilted back and his arms stretched out, holding a lit torch in one hand. He is leaning on a barrel or similar prop, behind which a person in a black raincoat kneels on the ground to support Taika's back with both hands. Facing him are several camera crew and the camera itself, all wrapped up in protective rain gear. The huge LED screen used as a backdrop for the scene shows a stormy sea at night.

== Love Notes ==

It's been a while lovelies! Jeez! What a year it's been. I tell ya one of these days things are going to calm the heck down and things are going to get easier, they just have to. 

Today I just wanted to remind you that tomorrow can be so scary when things are uncertain. We never know what's going to happen--- but that doesn't mean we have to always look to the future.

Sometimes, when things are hard, we need to sit here in the moment and process them so we can deal with tomorrow when it comes.

Please remember to get some rest and be kind to yourselves lovelies. 🫶. 

Image description by the artist: A drawing of a smiling bee flying near a large yellow flower. The caption reads, “Let tomorrow be tomorrow. Task by task, we can handle today.”
