Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.
I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.
But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org
my favorite implication from npmd's pro shot is that the chasitys are both respectful of pronouns and also deeply homophobic. like karen is the one that accuses ziggy, using their pronouns effortlessly, and then later grace says that ruth is in hell for being bisexual. it's so funny. oh you're trans? oh cool! please tell me your pronouns and chosen name so i can condemn you to hell properly :)
