…every hangar and maintenance shop and so on has its own absurd rituals; it’s just that every single hangar thinks that theirs are perfectly normal.
It’s perfectly fine for our maintenance crews to mark a designated “screaming zone” outside the hangar for frustrated technicians to vent their anger into the atmosphere, with off-duty crews holding up signs to show their rating of the outburst like gymnastics judges, but if the workers two bays down have a whiteboard up with a standing tally of ghost sightings, or a taboo under pain of buying ice cream sandwiches for everyone from the base commissary of ever uttering the phrase “good as new”, or a large, malformed but vaguely humanoid figure made of wreck bits called “Our Lady of Scrap Metal” to whom a sandwich must be sacrificed every new moon, well, that’s just plain absurd, and frankly makes you doubt their degree of professionalism.

There is also an upcoming show, Star Trek: 90210 from the same people who have pissed on Star Trek’s grave so hard they made it spin in said grave so fast it breached the transwarp threshold and turned the writers into chubby salamanders with mustaches that left their babies in on some random planet in the Delta Quadrant.
AO3 uses a technique called rate limiting to help prevent activity that could threaten the Archive’s stability or security. However, the way we usually do rate limiting isn’t working, so we’ve had to temporarily change our approach while we work on a fix.
Unfortunately, this new, temporary approach makes it more likely you’ll run into error pages while using AO3 normally. We’re very sorry about that! If you get one of these errors, please wait a few minutes and you’ll be able to continue using AO3.
We’re also looking into reports that some users are not receiving kudos emails.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we’ll keep you updated.

Kudos emails are working normally again! If you were affected by this issue, we’re sorry, but we can’t resend the missing emails.
We’ve also tracked down the issue with our usual rate limiting approach. However, it will take some time to fix. Until then, you may continue to get error pages while using AO3. If you do, please wait a few minutes and try again.
Hi everyone, I am finally done with the cuts, so here we have all of them, the first link is for the individual post here, you can click the video to watch it on drive without downloading anything with English subtitles, and the folder link so you can download the video and subtitle. All videos are 1080p 30 fps, if you’re an editor, they can be a nice resource.
I don’t usually add this to my stuff but this is the product of months of work, literally, you don’t have to, but if you see this and think “wow, wonder if Anna has a tip button” this is my kofi and you can buy me a coffee.
mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
yeah so i was on the train to uberwald - yeah, the first train to uberwald - and like some grags or whatever started attacking the train, swarming the roof and all that…, and anyways so we all get up on top to fight including commander vimes obvs (yeah old stoneface) and right well get this ok. stoneface just straight up rips his shirt off to fight them? not even take off i mean RIPPED that thing off his body immediately. no hesitation. out there kicking grags left right and centre, coMPLETEly tops off tits out?? like bare chesting the morning breeze,, and- did he have hot tits??? why are you even asking of cOURSE he had hot tits-
So… I got a notification from the State Department at like 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender in Oregon is listed as X, or undeclared, and that’s what’s on my passport. I’m pretty sure someone(s) worked late to get the X passports done today.
I was already really grateful to whoever in the Seattle Passport Office worked late to get these things processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office… and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn’t be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded?
They’re my fucking hero.
So… I heard from a friend of 20+ years who works for the State Department who confirmed to me in so many words that they can assure me, without specifics, that “all of the suppositions you have made here are true.”
So… yep. Passport folx at the State Department really did work incredibly long hours this week just… shoveling every passport out the door (and prioritizing the ones that might be A Problem come Monday) and yes, they did On Purpose make sure that all of them weren’t just DONE but MAILED and out the door and in the hands of the USPS so that they can’t be told to pull those passports back and deny/destroy them.
This also means they got the OK for the mountains of overtime from the Biden administration to get that done.
This is what I mean when I say that the Good Work is often not glamorous and that we have to prioritize things which actively and immediately better the lives of our siblings. The State Department worker who was still in the office last night at midnight Pacific time stuffing my passport into an Express Mail envelope and making sure that it was in the hands of USPS has done more liberatory work for the trans movement than 100 people endlessly auditing the language others use to describe their lives ever will.
These next years are gonna be real hard. Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can.
On Friday, 1/17, we got deluged at work with Borrower Defense to Repayment approvals. Five huge populations, back to back - and the other servicers got the same. For those who don’t know, Borrower Defense to Repayment is a program that will discharge federal student loans for borrowers who were defrauded by their schools; it’s one of the major avenues the Biden administration has been using to forgive mountains to debt, even while the more expansive forgiveness measures got stalled out in court.
The Department of Education pulled the same thing as the State Department, getting those approvals out to the servicers at the eleventh hour to begin discharging. Under Betsy DeVos, Borrower Defense to Repayment was stalled out for four years. This is the Biden Administration’s last gasp at Student Loan Forgiveness, and they SLAMMED it

So cool! Apis dorsata - Rock bee/Giant Honeybee. They do this “shimmering” response to ward off predators. I thought this article testing different object size thresholds to trigger the response was really interesting.
