== Poison Into Positivity ==

So yesterday, a bunch of people started receiving what looked to be scam from group called entertainmintco. We got notified by @adoptourcrew and @saveofmdcrewmates of it earlier in the day:

Warnings were sent out, and people from the leadership teams started getting serious with this group, but luckily it looks like it was a mistake that entertainmintco was willing to admit to.

They then put out a statement explaining the situation, and donated $1000 to an LGBTQIA+ Supportive NonProfit: Rainbow Railroad for the trouble they'd caused.

Annnd they also shared our petition!

So overall, everything turned out okay! Definitely a weird one! But $1000 donation to supporting LGBTQIA+? Fantastic! Seriously poision into positivity. Thank you @AdoptOurCrew, @saveofmdcrewmates, and @LCWebsXOXO especially for turning that scam into splendor!

Post Note: There's been some questions on if there's a focus group actually going on-- I don't believe so but I'm asking and will get back to you!

@meowzawowza_ went out and got one of Rhys' Cameos for themselves and the crew-- ty @adoptourcrew for sharing it with us. I recommend watching them where ever you can because when I say my hope is renewed, I sincerely mean it.

There's nothing I or anyone else could say that would equal the impact of Rhys' message. Our captain sends his advice and love.

Tumblr / Twitter / Instagram For more on the unedited parts of the video, @meowzawowza_ gives more deets: @ofmd-ann has a thread you can view here

New Post has been published on Smart Wrist Wrap Watches

New Post has been published on https://www.smartwristwrap.com/how-athletes-are-turning-their-shoes-into-political-symbols.html

How athletes are turning their shoes into political symbols

Washington (CNN)The white Obama “O” logo pops on the black sneaker. Below, written in all caps is “MBK Alliance,” for the former president’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative. And on the midsole, the “SC” logo for Steph Curry’s shoe line. It’s an all-star collaboration between one of the biggest brands in politics and one of the biggest brand in signature sneakers, a one-of-one, worn by Curry once, at Washington’s Capital One Arena in February. Curry put them up for a charity campaign this week, with fans able to donate $10 for a chance to win them.

So Curry’s shoes felt like an exclamation mark on the trip. They were a show of support for the previous president and his work, but also a show of contempt the current one, and in the heart of his adopted presidential hometown no less. And they were part of an emerging trend.

As politics has collided with professional sports during Trump’s time in office, athletes have turned to fashion to send a message. Cleats and sneakers have become a canvas of political and social expression for some of today’s biggest and most outspoken sports stars — and a way to make a statement while standing.

Customized causes

Marcus Rivero — who goes by @solesbysir on Instagram — paints shoes for athletes. He started doing them for members of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, and by now he’s made custom-painted shoes for at least one player on every team in the NFL, as well as for athletes in the NBA and MLB, soccer players overseas, and boxers.

“When I first started doing this custom painting stuff, it was just changes blue to yellow, changes purple to black, and then it started becoming more messages,” he told CNN’s COVER/LINE. “Then they started to get deeper meanings.”

In 2014, the Washington Redskins’ DeSean Jackson, a longtime client for Rivero, had a specific request. He wanted “something cool” on his cleat, Rivero recalled him saying, but he wanted something else too. A New York grand jury had just decided to not indict a police officer in the death of Eric Garner and Jackson wanted his cleats to read “I can’t breathe,” the words Garner could be heard struggling to say in a video as the officer held him in a chokehold.

“It was my first political shoe,” Rivero said. “I really wasn’t trying to take a stand for anything, my stuff was just artwork, and when he told me that, I said, ‘OK, I’ll come up with something.'”

The result was a snakeskin pattern in Washington’s colors, burgundy and gold, with the words written across the front, fading out at the end.

“That went pretty viral pretty fast,” Rivero said.

While most of the shoes he paints are apolitical, he’s begun to receive more requests for paint jobs related to news events. Following the 2016 Dallas shooting, he painted another pair for Jackson, this time, sky blue covered in bright yellow caution tape, as a statement against violence. After the Las Vegas shooting in October, the Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper wore “Pray for Las Vegas” cleats with various images from the Strip.

For week 13 of the most recent NFL season, the league encouraged players to support charities through its My Cause, My Cleats initiative. It’s Rivero’s biggest week of the year, and he starts working on cleats far in advance to fulfill all his client’s requests. Tennessee Titans’ Rishard Matthews selected Know Your Rights, the charity of his college friend Colin Kaepernick, and Rivero painted Kaepernick’s name and an image of him kneeling with his hair styled into a fist.

“That one probably got the most political attention, and it was very controversial,” Rivero said. Matthews didn’t end up playing that week, due a hamstring injury. Still, “the shoe had made its mark even before the game started,” he said.

A post shared by COVER/LINE (@cnncoverline) on Apr 13, 2018 at 8:32pm PDT

An advocating addition to a uniform

Athletes are restricted in what they can wear on the court or field. But their shoes can be an exception.

“The only way that most guys in the league can get away with expressing themselves is their footwear,” said Rachel Johnson, a stylist who’s worked with some of the NBA’s biggest stars, including LeBron James, Chris Paul and Amar’e Stoudemire. Sneakers, she said, are, “the smartest and most innovative way that they can express themselves without getting fined.”

While the NFL has traditionally had strict guidelines about cleats, down to the color of the laces, rules have loosened. In 2016, a half dozen players wore red, white, and blue cleats for the 15th anniversary of 9/11, and none of them were fined, and last year, personalized cleats were allowed for pre-game. The NBA has also relaxed its shoe rules. While the league once required players to match their teammates, athletes are now allowed to mix and match from their team’s color palette and wear special colors for events and holidays. It’s allowed athletes greater expression, and opened the way for shoes with political or social messages.

Curry’s first Obama sneaker came just days into Trump’s time in office, on MLK Day 2017. It was a Curry 3 with a presidential seal on the tongue, Obama’s signature on the sole, along with the phrase “Back2Back” a reference to Curry’s back-to-back MVP titles and Obama’s back-to-back electoral college victories.

Shoes with the American flag or to honor service members are popular. Baseball’s Harper wore a fatigue brown “Honor The Fallen” version of his Harper 2 on Memorial Day. Michael Bennett — the son of a veteran who was then with the Seattle Seahawks and now with the Philadelphia Eagles — was one of the NFL season’s earliest anthem protesters and wore cleats with the image of a kneeling soldier for POW/MIA. His Seahawks teammate Blair Walsh supported The Bully Project with cleats covered in the words “Speak Out,” while the San Diego Chargers’ Kellen Clemens wore cleats for National Right to Life.

The Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade turned his sneakers into a tribute to Joaquin Oliver, a Wade superfan and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student killed in the shooting. Wade wrote Oliver’s name on his shoes and gifted Oliver’s family a pair of his Way of Wade brand sneakers customized with Douglas High’s eagle mascot.

The statement LeBron James made with his sneakers was “Equality,” written in gold all-caps across the back of his LeBron 15s.

James debuted the 15 during New York Fashion Week in September 2017 at a show for the brand Kith. The 15 was sleeker and sexier than some of his most recent sneakers. Previous editions of the line were bulky and muscular, built like a superhero, but the 15 was built for someone who has a runway show at 7 and a basketball game at 8. The day of the Cavaliers opening game, James appeared in photos for a GQ cover story wearing a gold pair of his sneakers along with $845 Dolce & Gabbana pants and a $3,395 Alexander McQueen peacoat with the collar popped. And then that night, they became political symbols.

Cleveland played the Boston Celtics at Quicken Loans Arena, their home court (and previously, the site of the 2016 Republican National Convention where Trump was made his party’s nominee). James wore pair of black “Equality” 15s, a continuation of the Nike campaign he helped introduce in 2017. When the Cavs came to Washington, he wore them again, this time one black, one white.

“We’re not going to let one person dictate us, us as Americans, how beautiful and how powerful we are as a people,” he said after the game, referencing Trump, according to the Washington Post. “Equality is all about understanding our rights, understanding what we stand for and how powerful we are as men and women, black or white or Hispanic. It doesn’t matter your race, whatever the case may be, this is a beautiful country, and we’re never going to let one person dictate how beautiful and how powerful we are.”

The shoes aren’t sold in stores, but in early March, Nike held a 400-pair giveaway, 200 in white, 200 in black, with proceeds going to the same African-American history and culture museum visited by the Warriors in February.

Feet do the talking

This NBA season has seen other examples of clothing being used as a vehicle for political speech. The Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics wore shirts that read “Accountability. We are One” following the killing of Stephon Clark in March. And a special Nike City Edition line of uniforms for the league included jerseys for the Memphis Grizzlies inspired by the Civil Rights-era “I Am a Man” protest sign, while the Phoenix Suns had the latest edition of their “Los Suns” jerseys, used previously following the passage of controversial immigration enforcement legislation in Arizona in 2010.

But shoes offer players a level of individual expression shirts and jerseys do not. And they play a particular role in fashion for the American man.

Shoes — and sneakers in particular — are where many American men first began to express themselves. As the suit, the traditional uniform of masculinity, gave way to new ideals like sneakers-wearing sports stars and tech bros beginning in the ’80s, it gave men permission to express themselves through their footwear.

“Sneakers were the first way that men could start to take sartorial choices and I think that men continue to take their greatest sartorial choices at the footwear level,” said Elizabeth Semmelhack, senior curator at the Bata Shoe Museum and author of “Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture.” “

The colors that you see in sneakers, the bold designs, oftentimes you don’t find those reflected necessarily in other garments that men wear,” she said.

Sneakers remain “at the vanguard of male fashion,” she added, and because they’re associated with athletic masculinity, “they almost don’t feel like fashion, which is often feminized, because of these hyper-masculine associations.”

And they’ve proven an effective way to make a statement. While anthem kneeling became partisan and divisive, sneakers and cleats have not yet risen to that level. When Fox News’ Laura Ingraham went after James and the Warriors’ Kevin Durant, saying they should “shut up and dribble” in February, it wasn’t over their shoes, it was over what they said about Trump in an interview. Shoes are more subtle, less in your face. Yet at the same time, they rebel against the call to not speak out as wearable pieces of political pop art.

Johnson, James’ stylist, sees political shoes as a sign of athletes maturing. As a generation of players have grown up, they’ve realized they can use their voice and platform to do more than sell products, and they’ve become fathers.

“Watching their own children grow up heightens that level of responsibility for them,” she said.

Johnson likened the political shoe trend to the sartorial glow-up the NBA has experienced since the mid ’00s.

“There was just bad fashion being passed along from season to season and now that there’s been this huge fashion evolution, younger players come in and they really understand that they can utilize fashion as a vehicle to express themselves, to express their brand,” she said. “I think that that same kind of freedom, and that same kind of courage, that same kind of level of expression is going to be handed down to the young players as they come up, through the political lens.”

Johnson said she expects the trend will continue, especially if people tell athletes they can’t express their views.

“As long as there are people telling players to shut up and dribble and that they don’t have the right to kneel at football games, there’s going to continue to be an uprising in the way that players are expressing themselves.”

Good morning, fellow Outlander fans! Today, I’m getting into one of my favorite things…History! Specifically, I’ll be talking all about the Scottish clans and giving you a little Outlander love along the way! Because there are numerous Highland and Lowland clans, I’ll be picking some of my favorites with the most amount of history fun.

The Gregor/MacGregor Clan

Clan Motto: Roighal Mo Dhream-Royal is my Race

Minor Motto: Een dhn bait spair nocht-Slay and spare not (this one is so metal)

War Cry: Ard choille!-The woody height!

The Traditional Tartan

The “Primitive” Tartan

The Highland Dance Tartan

Here are several facts associated with this the MacGregors:

They were among the first clans to adopt the bagpipe in the 1600s!

In 1603 James IV outlawed the MacGregor name, forcing them to renounce their heritage or die. Many took on other Scottish names, but others were hanged.

During the Jacobite Risings, the Gregor clan (which was not an outlawed name), fought with the Jacobites and was defeated at the Battle of Littleferry, making them unable to participate in the Battle of Culloden.

The MacGregors were reestablished in the 1800s, finally bringing back the chiefs.

The only MacGregor mentioned in Outlander is Alexander MacGregor, the 18 year old cattle thief who was a victim of Black Jack Randall, and the initial owner of Jamie’s bible.

I’ve written a romance novel, The Amethyst Bride, featuring a MacGregor man. You can read about it here!

Clan Fraser of Lovat

Clan Motto: Je Suis Prest- I am Ready

War Cry #1: A Mhor-fhaiche!- The Great Field!

War Cry #2:Caisteal Dhuni- Castle Dounie (referring to their ancestral seat)

Fraser of Lovat Tartan

Dress Tartan

Jamie Fraser Tartan (NOT an actual Fraser Tartan)

Here are several facts associated with this clan:

There is also the “Lowland Fraser Clan”, which is entirely separate from the Frasers of Lovat.

The Frasers fought with William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, who you might know from the (historically inaccurate) movie Braveheart, in 1303.

The clan supported Mary Queen of Scots in the Siege of Inverness in 1562.

A real man named James Fraser hid in a cave for years after surviving the Battle of Culloden. Read more about him here!

The Frasers have participated, in force, in all of the wars based on American soil, such as the Seven Years War and the Revolutionary War.

Here are some bonus pics of our fav Fraser…

Clan MacNaughten

Clan Motto: I Hoip in God-I Hope in God

War Cry: Fraoch Eilean!- The Heathery Isle!

The clan’s tartan…festive.

Here are several facts about this clan…

This clan are descendents of the Picts, some of the earliest, tribal, dwellers of Scotland. Possibly with Celtic roots.

They opposed Robert the Bruce (ya know…the Braveheart guy) and when he took the throne, they lost much of their lands to the Campbells.

There are many forms of this clan, such as McNitt, Macnaughton, McNett…and McKnight! Yeah, it’s my family’s father clan!

The MacLeod Clan

Clan Motto: Hold Fast

Old Clan Motto: Murus aheneus esto- Be the wall of brass

Their traditional tartan

The hunting tartan

Here are some interesting facts about the MacLeods:

My first historical romance novel, Queen of Emeralds, follows a MacLeod Chief and a British Heiress. You can read about it here!

They are the holders of the Fairy Flag. Shrouded in mystery, this flag is said to have come from the far east, possibly made by vikings, or have been used during the crusades. But in one popular MacLeod tale, the Fairy Flag was wrapped around a MacLeod Chief’s baby by a group of fairies. It has been artfully preserved and says to have the power to heal the sick, give military prowess to in battle, and protect the clan in times of famine or danger. But you’re not supposed to touch it, nor photograph it…but here’s a photo lol.

In the early 1600’s, the Clan MacLeod of Lewis became extinct and the seat, Castle Leod, it fell into the hands of the Mackenzie clan. It then became the seat of the Mackenzies. It was also the inspiration for Castle Leoch in the Outlander book series. It would have been used for filming, as it is still in good condition, but another castle was selected instead.

Castle Leod

The Mackenzie Clan

Clan Motto: Luceo Non Uro-I Shine Not Burn

Clan War Cry:Tulach Àrd-The High Hill

Dress tartan

Regimental tartan

Outlander show Mackenzie tartan (NOT actual Mackenzie tartan)

Let’s look at some fun Clan Mackenzie facts…

Mackenzie is actually an Anglicized version of “Mac Coinnich”, which means handsome.

They were once the 4th most powerful clan in Scotland.

In the 17th century, the Crahan Seer foretold that the direct Seaforth Mackenzie line would die out after a deaf mute was born. A few years later there was a Seaforth Mackenzie named Francis. Wouldn’t you know, a bout of Scarlet Fever made him deaf and mute and he outlived all his sons, ending the line for good.

Here are some bonus pics of your fav Mackenzies…

Outlander Season 2 2016

The Wallace Clan

Clan Motto: Pro Libertate- For Liberty

Clan War Cry: Freedom!

The Wallace tartan

Here are a few little facts about the Wallace Clan…but mostly William Wallace.

The Wallace clan came to Scotland in the 11th century from Normandy, France.

The true William Wallace is nothing like what you saw in Braveheart!

Little Willie wasn’t a poor orphaned kid. He was raised a nobleman and even became a knight. Far cry from the ragamuffin living in a shack.

Wallace never met Isabelle of France. Girl was like…5 when he was participating in Scottish military endeavors.

Wallace wouldn’t have worn a kilt. Kilts didn’t become a thing in Scotland until the 1600’s. So no butt flashing in real life.

Scots in the 12 and 13,000s never painted their faces blue. The Picts did to scare off Roman invaders hundreds of years before Wallace was even a gleam in his noble father’s eye.

But he was hanged, drawn, and quartered…so that’s true. Yay?

Robert the Bruce was the real Braveheart. Literally. After he died, his heart was removed and given it’s own fancy casket.

Clan Murray

Clan Motto:Furth, Fortune, and Fill the Fetters.

Old Motto: Tour Pret- Quite Ready

Murray of Atholl Tartan

Murray of Tullibardine Tartan

Here are a few facts about this clan:

They descended from Flemish and Norman lords and prided themselves on being from noble stock.

After Culloden, there was a massive diaspora from the Highlands, due to persecution of the clans. A great number of Murrys settled in Nova Scotia.

Their old crest featured a mermaid

This clan maintains the old private regiment in Europe; the Atholl Highlanders. This is because Queen Victoria was so moved by the Murrays of Atholl’s greeting to her upon visiting the country, she repealed the man that outlawed Scottish military regiments, just for them.

Bonus gif of our fav Murray…

Clan Campbell

Clan Motto: Ne Obliviscaris- Forget Not

Clan War Cry: Cruachan!- Referrs to a popular rallying spot in times of crisis

Here are some facts about this clan:

At one point, they were the largest and most powerful clan in Scotland.

Their name might have come from the phrase “cam bul”, which means “crooked mouth”, referring to a founder of the clan.

They could be d*cks…especially to the MacDonald clan. But, that’s how you stay on top. We’ll talk about their issues in a bit.

Their castle seat, Inveraray Castle, was used in some filming for the show Downton Abbey.

Clan MacLean

Clan Motto: Virtue, Mine, Honor

Clan War Cry: Bàa no Beatha- Death or Life

Here are some fun facts about the MacLean clan…

They are one of the oldest clans in Scotland and are known for their fierceness in battle.

in the 1500s a chief named Lachlan MacLean married a Campbell girl. He hated her so much, and instead of just ignoring her and getting a mistress like the other guys in the 1500s, tied her to a rock by the sea in hopes the tide would drown her. But much like a Batman villain, he was too cocky and didn’t see her death through. She was saved by a fisherman and one of her brothers killed Lachlan…but he deserved it.

Clan Donald/MacDonald

Clan Motto: Per Mare Per Terras-By Sea and By Land Minor Clan Motto: Fraoch Eilean-The Heathery Isle

Here are some interesting things to know about the Donalds…

One of the oldest on record, the clan is descended form both the Norse and the Celts.

The MacDonalds were sneaky in the Battle of Culloden!

Many of them bailed when they saw how the Scots were being slaughtered

They also had two minor regiments fighting for the British, so some of the smaller groups were able to maintain their positions and lands.

Remember how I told you that the Campbells and MacDonalds had some major bad blood?

In 1642, a group of Campbell soldiers in Ireland were ordered to kill all the MacDonald Catholics and threw dozens, possibly even hundreds, to their deaths over a cliff. This sparked a long series of battles between the two clans

And the Campbells kept being jerks…any Game of Thrones fans? Remember “The Red Wedding”? Well that scene was inspired by the Massacre of Glencoe, where a bunch of Campbells came to chill with the MacDonalds of Glencoe…as you can probably guess, it ended up with the Campbell forces massacring numerous people, burning homes, and allowing scores of woman and children to die of exposure.

Shown: Frank Randall partying it up at the Red Wedding before it all went to shite.

Are you part of a clan? Which one?

That’s it for this week! I know I didn’t come close to covering a fraction of the clans, but I think we all had fun. Was your clan not mentioned? Let us know, maybe we’ll bring up the clans in a future post. And make sure to check out out Outlander page here to help you through Droughtlander.

And see who’s hot for teacher in Sarah’s contemporary romance series here and learn about Kelsey’s contemporary and Scottish romance series here!

An Outlandish Clan History Good morning, fellow Outlander fans! Today, I'm getting into one of my favorite things...History! Specifically, I'll be talking all about the Scottish clans and giving you a little…

Whelp, Casey Bloys stepped in it again by posting an article by The Wrap about how True Detective was the most watched season on max.

And in case you needed to see some more data that Bloys was full of crap--- Thank you to our dear friend @quirkysubject for pulling in Rotten Tomatoes Average Tomato-meter Ranking in with the Parrot Analytics Data in this awesome chart!

Not terribly long after, apparently the comments on The Wrap article really started to irritate ol Casey boy because he turned off comments on the post.

BUUUUUUT Our dear crewmate @spanishjenkies was kind enough to save a video before hand! So there's evidence of the trolling. Visit their twitter thread here.

Some of the crew has decided to go a bit further with the glorious Passive Aggression and started sending Casey Bloys gifts! @single_cat_mom sent him a Casio Compact Calculator to help him with his future numbers!

Annnnd our crewmate @ofmooshd got a cockroach at the zoo named after ol Casey Bloys!

Truly legendary levels of Polite Menacing today, m'dears! What a day!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies!! Guess what time it is? I've had too much caffeine and I've taken my adhd meds on time so I'm Here, Queer, and ready to Cheer!

Look at everything you all did today! Do you see this list? And that's just a minuscule coverage of the pure polite chaos that ensued! I literally cannot add any more pictures because just so much has happened. We are 36 days in the Gravy Basket and you all are just ramping things up!

The tenacity, and creativity of this crew never ceases to amaze me!

There are more fundraisers in the works... (I'll post more when I know more) there's a slew of events, watch parties, and pure camaraderie everywhere! Everyone's making amazing memes, and artwork and fics! Seriously, you all should be proud of yourselves!

Not to mention, some of the most important things of all-- I am seeing SO MUCH SELF CARE. You are reaching out to the crew for support, you're taking days off, you're having fun and being creative for you... getting back to pet projects and doing things you enjoy!

You all are doing SO WELL. You are kicking ass, don't forget that! We'll have our down days, but no matter what you are making waves all over the place, bringing positive things to this world! As a side note, I wanted to mention, I know tomorrow can be a tough day for a lot of people. It can be lonely, or bring up good or bad memories. Please be sure to reach out to your crew for love if you're struggling. We love you, and even if it's a platonic love, it's overflowing here for you. You are wonderful, and we want to send you all the love we can.

That being said, I'm gonna end tonight with another note from @thelatestkate that I needed to hear a lot recently so I'm gonna share it with you too <3

You got this! Sending so much love m'dears!

These were the two gifs that murdered me today so I hope you enjoy. These goofy buggers always make my day.
