Hey all, as you can see I'm late again. I took some advice and spent a lot of hours over the last few days doing some creative projects and spending time with friends and my son. Hoping to be caught up soon. Lots happened over the last few days so things are being spread across this and the next issue. Hope you're all staying safe and sane out there <3

== Samba Schutte ==

This is a little late since this was from before the class, but Samba was such a sweetie and shared some love for his upcoming baking class and a script from S2 Ep 8!

I know we could all use a warm cozy hug right now, so I’m looking forward to my baking class tomorrow to hang and teach you my signature Mac n’ Cheese recipe (so good it makes you cuss)❤️ Plus we’ll be raising money for @LAFoodBank 👨🏾‍🍳🧀✨ @Stands and @BeMomentus for more info🫶

Picture of Script: Prince Ricky: Absolutely Astounding Izzy: Blackbeard was at his peak then. Prince Ricky: No I mean you. It's absurd Blackbeard gets all the praise when you're clearly the brains of the operation. (then) Why'd you never captain your own ship? Izzy: You don't know the first thing about piracy do you? (then) It's not about glory. Or doing whatever you want. It's about being a part of something when the world says you're nothing. Finding a family to kill for when yours is long dead. Sublimating your ego for something larger: the crew. Prince Ricky: You've grown tedious Mr.Hands. Shame, I was going to let you live. Izzy: You have no crew. You're

== WB News ==

Our friends over at @adoptourcrew are keeping us up to date on these articles that keep coming out about WBD!

In addition, our spectacular crewmate Ashley, aka a Seven_Sugars on Twitter and Bluesky gave us a whole lot of info regarding the WBD Q3 Earnings Report!
Picture of tweets with graphs: Tweet 1: $WBD Q3 Earnings Report shows revenues continue to decline from previous years in all segments except direct to consumer, which shows a modest increase from last year that does not come close to compensating for the losses in studios and networks #FireDavidZaslav Tweet 2: Likewise, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) shows consistent decline in Networks and Studios from last year, with a slight increase in DTC and corporate (still negative). (Note the dip last quarter for networks was the $9Bill Write-off) Tweet 3: Zaslav would have you believe DTC is growing. It is growing modestly internationally where they opened to new markets with hundreds of millions, nearly a billion, potential customers this year. One would expect more growth considering the size of the potential customer base. Tweet 4: Domestic Subscribers continues to flatline around $52 million following a decrease last year.

Picture of tweets with graphs: Tweet 1: And the average revenue per user (ARPU) continues to be about a third of the value for international subscribers ($4.05) compared to domestic ($11.99). Tweet 2: But what about Zaslav's bread and butter, the almighty Free Cash Flow? After all the layoffs and budget cuts, you'd expect the cash was flowing? Well, not with the loss in revenues. FCF has declined from last quarter and substantially from last year. Tweet 3: Buttons (Ashley) 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈🤡 @Seven_Sugars · Nov 7 Free cash flow is down to pre-Zaslav times. Despite cost cutting measures, it looks like WBD isn't going to pay down that $40 Billion debt anytime soon. Another quarter, another poor showing from @wbd under David Zaslav's leadership. What's left except #FireDavidZaslav?

== Revenge Raffle ==

One of our ever present, extremely kind crewmates, Irene Adler was kind enough to set up a new raffle, she's made several lockets out of the glass from the actual Revenge ship, and she's going to be raffling them as well as some other goodies off to support LGBTQIA+ folks in the US!  You can follow along for new via instagram with the #revengeraffle hashtag. Have something you wanna donate or enter? Send her a DM! The Raffle will be going live in late Nov/Early December!

OFMD CREW! I have enough glass from the lamps on The Revenge to make a couple more lockets. Want one? I’ll be raffling them (along with some special autographs & hopefully more) to support LGBTQIA+ folks in the US. Summer of Sass & SAGE are some faves but I’d love suggestions for others. Wanna enter? Have OFMD themed merch/commissions you’d like to donate? Please DM me. And please spread the word. #ofmd #revengeraffle #ourflagmeandsdeath #charity #protectqueerkids #protecttranskids

== Love Notes == 

Hey there lovelies. I really hope you're hanging in there. It's been a heck of a week. I've been distracting myself with art and listening to audio books, and watching film, and I have to say, disengaging a bit has been really helpful for my mental health.
One of the biggest things I continue to hear from so many different supportive groups out there is that community is such a huge part of getting through the collective grief and trauma we're all experiencing right now.  Please if you can, take some time and go meet up with friends. Get a hug, give a hug, if you don't hug, just a smile and be with some of your fellow people in the community. We need each other more than ever at the moment, and it's amazing how humanizing even basic human connection can be.
Please be safe, please spend some time being creative, please go out and get some time with your community, someone you feel safe with.If you can't get out, try a video call, or just lean on your crew online, whatever it is you feel comfortable and safest with.
I'm thinking and rooting for you every day. I'm hoping over the coming days I'll be in a better headspace to try and be around more. Sending love <3 Rest up lovelies.
