Ugh.

Public service announcement 😁

downloading a fic when ao3 dies (when you have the link)

looks like ao3 is down again and i was in the middle of a multi chapter fic when it died on me.

and if that happens to you, this is what you can do to download the fic:

copy paste https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/00000000/fic.html in your browser url

replace the pink bit with the number right after /works (that's the work id)

for instance, in https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970790/chapters/113154673 the highlighted bit (44970790) would be the number you swap for the 0s

the download link will look like https://download.archiveofourown.org/downloads/44970790/fic.html

if you want the fic to be downloaded as an epub instead, use .epub at the end of that link

it should start downloading on your device

i'm sure a bunch of people know this and use it but in case you don't, hope this helps

…okay, so this pull quote straight up attacked me.

Josh Johnson is the furthest thing from a political animal usually but he ate with this segment.

To both the critics of Lamar and his stans that see him as some kind of revolutionary:

“Art can save your life but entertainment will never be your salvation. Because entertainment is escapism and no one has ever escaped their chains by forgetting they were there."

….it do be like that, though. 😬

I love my fellow disabled Americans so much I love you if you’re on SSDI I love you if you’re unemployed I love you on Medicaid I love you on foodstamps I love when you exist no matter what. you’re important and your life is important to me. your safety and continued existence is essential and should never be questioned

The fact that Fountain is pissing off trads over a 100 years later is so fucking funny

Some real relatable energy here.

I needed to read this, so now you will too.

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

Where's that tweet about people still living long fulfilling lives even through the fall of the roman empire because I think about it constantly
