Shuffle your favourite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favourite mutuals <3
(I listen to music downloaded to my phone, and I currently don't have any playlists, so this is from all of my stuff)
Today I attended a bookstore event with some friends - the event itself was ongoing in every location of the store all throughout the country. It's also the company whose kids/young adult branch I do some work for.
We also went to the store that is on the ground floor of the building which alos houses the company offices.
I had to pick up a contract from there, so when my contact person said I could collect it either today or tomorrow, I told her I'll be around for the event anyway, I'll just puck it up before that. She said it'd be great.
Then when I arrived, her first question was "So... what is this event?" :D She literally knew nothing about the event organized by her company, held in her building, and advertised all over facebook :D
It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Thanks, Tumblr, that's really helpful.
Also, @mercurygray, it was your post - now I really wanna know what warranted the remival of those pictures 😅 (probably nothing)

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.
Apparently, I have 9 invitations available, and I think I've used one of them ever, so if anyone out there wants to make an AO3 account, just DM me and I'll send you an invite. ✌️
I got my invites still. If anyone wants one, let me know.
Yes friends, I have several invites if you need one.
I have 9 too if someone needs one
You just did it again!
