🌈📚💜 WE RECEIVE HATE MESSAGES EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES, THEY’RE EVEN WORSE. BUT WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. 💜📚🌈

We’re still here. Still sharing children’s books. Still celebrating drag storytime, artistic expression, literacy, and inclusion. And ALWAYS standing for JOY.

Storytime Safe Space is a family-friendly storytelling community where drag artists bring children’s books to life and celebrate imagination, diversity, creativity, and the freedom to be yourself.

We know not everyone agrees with us. You don’t have to watch our content. But we believe every family deserves choice, every artist deserves creative expression, and every person deserves dignity.

📚 CHILDREN DESERVE BOOKS. 🎭 ARTISTS DESERVE TO CREATE. 🌈 FAMILIES DESERVE CHOICE. 💜 EVERYONE DESERVES TO BELONG.

Our response to negativity will always be MORE STORIES, MORE JOY, MORE LITERACY, AND MORE INCLUSION.

Stories help children explore new ideas, build empathy, and discover perspectives beyond their own. That’s why we’re committed to inclusive children’s literature, family-friendly drag storytime, and storytelling that celebrates the many ways we belong.

💜 HELP US BRING SEASON 2 TO LIFE! 🎬🌈

Become a Storytime Safe Space MICRO PRODUCER for just $5!

Your support helps us continue producing inclusive children’s storytime episodes, celebrating talented drag performers, and creating a welcoming space for families and readers.

💜 VENMO: 💚 CASH APP: $rosedynas

Every $5 contribution helps us tell more stories. Thank you for supporting independent creative projects, children’s literacy, and inclusive arts programming!

We choose joy. We choose literacy. We choose artistic freedom. We choose inclusion.

📚 EVERY STORY MATTERS. 🌈 EVERY VOICE MATTERS. 💜 EVERYONE BELONGS IN THE STORY.

🏴‍☠️🎬 NEW IRON PIRATE PRODUCTION CREDIT!🎬🏴‍☠️

Something new is making its way into the Iron Pirate fleet…

We’re excited to introduce our new short-form production credit!

You’ll start seeing this signature Iron Pirate moment at the beginning or end of our productions as we continue building a recognizable visual identity across our projects.

It’s vintage.
It’s theatrical.
It’s unmistakably Iron Pirate. 🏴‍☠️

And, of course, there’s a little attitude behind it:

⚓

Because at Iron Pirate LLC, we believe in challenging expectations, championing innovative ideas, creating meaningful experiences, and telling stories that are worth hearing.

From publishing and production to education, every project gives us another opportunity to create something different, spark conversation, and maybe…rock the boat a little.

🎬 Look for this new credit across upcoming Iron Pirate productions and short-form content—including the many projects currently underway.

📚 The Spectrum Series
🌈 Storytime Safe Space
🎭 All The Whos In Whoville (stage production Summer 2027)
📖 Being Super | Being Villainous (from ChristySmallwood.com)
🎓 Education & creative development
…and more to come.

This is the mark.
This is the mission.
This is Iron Pirate.

For the third time, our YouTube and Meta accounts were flagged for inappropriate content. Literally humans talking about literacy and inclusion - and reading children’s stories.

We fought back and we will be able to share links later this afternoon. This isn’t unexpected and it’s nothing we aren’t prepared for. And it’s quite literally the whole point of why Storytime Safe Space exists.

How can you continue to support this program?

SHARE.
SUBSCRIBE.

The more our accounts grow, the better our reach. The better our reach, the more we can educate, engage, and inspire!

🌈🏴‍☠️ IRON PIRATE LLC IS PROUD TO SUPPORT RAINBOW ROOTS! 🌈🏴‍☠️

We are thrilled to announce that Iron Pirate LLC is a proud sponsor of Rainbow Roots: LGBTQ+ History & Arts Festival, presented by the Rose Dynasty Foundation, coming to Lakeland, Florida, on October 4, 2026!

Our Roots Run Deep. 🌳🌈

At Iron Pirate, we believe that stories matter. They preserve history, amplify voices, inspire imagination, challenge perspectives, and remind us of the extraordinary diversity of the human experience.

That belief is at the heart of everything we do through our work in publishing, production, and education - from Storytime Safe Space and The Spectrum Series to theatrical productions, original stories, educational programming, and the artists and communities we are honored to work alongside.

Rainbow Roots celebrates the history, creativity, resilience, and artistic contributions of the LGBTQ+ community - and we are proud to stand alongside the Rose Dynasty Foundation in creating a space where those stories can be remembered, shared, celebrated, and carried forward.

For us, sponsorship isn't simply putting our name on an event.

It's about showing up.

It's about investing in community.

It's about supporting artists and storytellers.

It's about honoring the roots that came before us while helping create space for the stories still waiting to be told.

And it's about recognizing that when we come together, our roots run deep - and our future can grow even stronger. 🌈🌱

We're incredibly proud to be part of Rainbow Roots 2026 and can't wait to celebrate with our friends, collaborators, artists, and community!

📅 October 4, 2026
📍 Lakeland, Florida
🌈 Rainbow Roots: LGBTQ+ History & Arts Festival
❤️ Presented by Rose Dynasty Foundation

Come celebrate the stories.
Come celebrate the artists.
Come celebrate the history.
Come celebrate the roots.
