goddamnit guys😭😭😭
okayyyyy so since there’s a three way tie, guess this means there’s gonna be a run-off poll, hooray!
you can vote here- and you can actually vote multiple times this time around so go wild. let’s hope this one isn’t another tie lmfao.
you can also now comment on the poll, so if you wanna make an impassioned plea for your choice you can lol.
the voting will end on midnight of the 20th, so much less time than the previous poll because I’m impatient oops.
It's about time for our yearly server events, but we don't quite have the manpower to run both DinLuke Week and the Big Bang this year. So, please vote in the poll below for which of the two you'd prefer to participate in this year! 👇

Continue Escalating
Unfortunately, this is the reality, 😓
and there is no way to stop this tyranny and the oppressive enemy in their darkness.
The types of weapons being used against us are horrific and internationally banned.
WHO IS USING THIS
AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
Reminder that ao3 does not have an app. Any apps you see are third party and are making money off of the writers without their consent. They’re also probably harvesting your data. Do not support this garbage.
Louder so people don't quick-scroll:
Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.
So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there's a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People's lives could be at risk.
The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.
Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We can’t let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!

redoing my rb since this passed the house 🙃
so bully your house reps that voted YES and find out who did here…
and then find your senators here and call them
MOST (ALL?) LABOR UNIONS ARE 501C3
it's unlikely that this will pass the current senate (see here), but republicans WILL try again after january when they have the house, the senate, and the oval office, and chances are much better that it will pass.
which is not to say you shouldn't call your senators! pressure from their constituency worked this time, and there's no reason it can't work again.
i don't think ao3 is very high up their list of non-profits to fuck with - i mean, the aclu is a much bigger, much more public target - but if there are fics you particularly love and want to be able to read and reread, download them anyway just to be safe.
call anyway too. you don't wanna lose aclu and unions

"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
Fucking word.
