AO3 has been down all day due to a malicious (deliberate) DDoS attack. As a reminder, they are a volunteer team working on fixing this, so if you've been at all flustered, irritated, or upset today that you can't access AO3, consider this your cue to float them a donation.

Seriously. Mark a reminder in your phone, on your to-do, or however you remember future tasks. When the site is back up, send them a couple bucks.

AO3 is down due to a DDoS attack, meaning someone is purposely overwhelming the website with requests.

Do not refresh the website until they have confirmed that the site is back online. You’ll only send more requests and further overwhelm the site.

also the way that the nimona movie showed that hate is a taught behavior?? the way that gloreth, the hero worshipped for slaying monsters, was fully accepting of nimona until her mother told her what to believe? until that generational bigotry was passed down? the way the director’s motive wasn’t even power like most evil government figureheads in media, but rather a fear of monsters destroying the kingdom because that hate had been instilled in her too, like it had in gloreth? the way ballister was also indoctrinated into hatred of “monsters” until he was just as outcast as one? because only then was he willing to change and learn?? and how even people with good hearts and good intentions like ballister and ambriosius and even the queen herself are still capable of perpetuating bigotry and unnecessary violence when they don’t take the time to understand or learn about the “others” they supposedly hate????????? i need to lie down

Listen my basic human empathy does feel genuine horror for those people who most likely died in that submarine.

But my working logical brain is also scoffing at anyone stupid enough to spend 250k to get into a heavy metal coffin, sinking to see the ocean floor graveyard that is the titanic.

Like just watch the movie, man. Spend 250k to go to Venice or some shit.

Why the titanic? We all know what it looks like. We all saw the movie.

Billionaires: at long last, we have created the Iron Lung from classic horror game Don’t Create The Iron Lung

Shane being like “his wife died of…. uhhh… death” and Ryan responding with “was she hit by a CAR” (completely unrelated tidbit but this case is set in the 1800s) - they truly are the investigators of our time.
