Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”

Ao3 volunteers are so strong. A DDoS attack, spam attack, someone impersonating the status updates twt account and trying to scam people out of money, all in the span of a few days.
These people are Volunteers.
I better not see anyone complaining next dono season. These guys are busting their asses to make sure the archive is up and running.
Rb with some positivity for the ao3 volunteers maybe? They deserve the damn world right now.

when ao3 is back up i want all of you to leave comments on the fics you were interrupted from reading, the fics you were looking to find, the fics you were thinking about re-reading, and the fics left open in your tabs for months now.
when ao3 is back up, i want you all to show some love to your favourite writers, favourite fics, or even just the 600 word one-shot that brought a smile to your face that tuesday three weeks ago.
when ao3 is back up i want you all to remember that comments and explicitly voiced appreciation are what keep writers going.

anyway DDOS ransom attacks suck but since people decided to uncritically spread racist and Islamophobic propaganda in the wake of a common internet attack, instead of donating more money to AO3 (which always gets all the money asked for and more) please consider donating to these organizations
The Rainbow Railroad helps LGBTQ+ people around the globe who face immediate physical danger due to the laws or policies of the countries they live in, up to and including helping people emigrate for safety. They also help with on-the-ground programs for people who they cannot help emigrate. I personally know and love someone who was helped by this organization. You can read their history here.
EATHAN is the East African Trans and Health Advocacy Network who are doing critical, on the ground work to aid, protect, and legislate for LGBTQ+ East Africans. They are active in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. You can donate and read about what they’re up against here.
and remember, please to always think critically and kindly; it is very distressing to me how many people immediately bought into infowars level conspiracy just because a fanfiction website went down for a bit.
