Chaos Dad shared with us some sweet nail art!

Quote post by David Jenkins on Bluesky. He writes, “Woke + ghey (purple heart emoji).” The original post by RedWrenSailing reads: “OFMD nail art: meme edition, ft. Alex Sherman hashtag AssTonight and David Jenkins ‘It was always woke and ghey Jim’.” 4 attached photos show 2 sets of nail art: The first is a glittery silver polish with a tiny peach on each fingernail and “ass 2 nite” spelled out in hot pink, in a font similar to the OFMD logo. The second set has a glittery pink base with “woke” spelled out in white on the nails of one hand and “ghey” on the other. The thumb nails feature a bleeding heart with a dagger sticking out of it, and a heart with a skull & crossbones respectively.

Rhys also posted a fun extra video on his paid Substack if you're subscribed and interested in cars!

Preview Text of Post: I’ve always been into cars.  At school I used to sit in the library at lunch time and read car magazines, getting up to speed with all the latest models and ogling over the classics. Once I got my license to drive, I dove straight into the deep end of sought after machinery, utilizing my hard-earned military money to buy a 1970 MGB GT (British mustard with wire spoke wheels). This would be my first car and the one I drove the length of New Zealand in as after a year I left the Airforce Base for a new home in Burnham Camp in Christchurch. I nearly blew up Taupo on the way as she had a leaking fuel tank and after parking her on a slope, I left to have lunch only to return 30 minutes later to two fire trucks and the street closed off. “What’s going on here?” I asked.

Taika has been so recently! He's been out taking pics, doing interviews for Interior Chinatown-- the works!

Samba has also been busy! There's a new show coming out that he'll be starring in-- Parallel! 

Samba Schutte's Instagram story with the text "Coming soon (alien emoji)" above a post showing the official season 1 poster for "Parallel" by Seasick Studios. On the poster, Samba is seen wearing a long, gauzy black cape, black pants and a white shirt with black sleeves, while holding a white bundle that is surrounded by a yellow, halo-like circle. Facing him is his co-star Alli Roberti in a red shirt and black pants. Above them are the title and tag line: "Parallel - Time is not on their side." Other cast members are listed at the top: Erika-Rose, Walker Barnes, Kemma Filby, Isabella Ward.Instagram story by RandyRoDrag with a drawing of Samba in his costume from the show poster. Text reads: "I've lost my mcfreaking tablet pen so we are working with ye olde pen and paper forever now I guess. Anyway this is Figment from a new show called Parallel that Samba Schutte is in and the only thing I know about it is that like two years ago they posted a BTS pic with a destiel meme in the background and it's haunted me ever since." There is a heart-hands emoji and a sparke emoji at the top, and a link to Seasick Studio's Instagram profile at the bottom.


Samba also joined Behind The Funny Podcast to talk about his role on Advanced Chemistry! Check it out on Spotify!

Insta story with a link and a screenshot of the podcast episode on Spotify, above which Samba wrote: "Fun chat with ScottHigginsLive & Ace.Aceto.3 on BTFPod (sparkle emoji, microphone emoji)." (The names are Instagram handles.) The screenshot text reads: "Ep 377 Samba Schutte "No Mime Needed To Advance His Chemistry." Behind The Funny. Samba Schutte is in the Acement this week. A Mauritanian moves to Ethiopia, attends college in Holland where he wins a national comedy competition, moves to LA and gets on a series on HBO Max, and eventually stars in his own movie. Samba's story is just another boring story of an amazingly talented person. His bad gig story was one we had never heard before."

More Hell Hath No Fury red carpet pics with Samba!

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. Coming up soon is the Republic of Pirates coverage! I hope the weekend treated you kindly-- whether you were at the con or not!
I also wanted to send some love and remind you that you really are doing your best. The world doesn't always fit perfectly for folks, especially queer and ND folks. That doesn't mean you don't fit in it, it just means you're making your own section for others like you to fit together.
We can get through just about anything if we support each other. Remember to lean on those closest to you if you need it. You're beautiful and worth it.
I found these love notes from HopeHealingArts that I really loved so I thought I'd share them your way. Please take care of yourselves lovelies, and if you need help, reach out ok? <3

“My love language is reflecting back to you how powerful you are” written on a picture of two foxes from Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound”. One fox is looking at the other, smiling and holding a flower in its mouth, while the other fox has its eyes closed and its head held high.
