May. 7th, 2022 06:43 pmAO3 has posted about staff getting harassed. I'd seen some scuttlebutt about this before the announcement came out.
For a long time, a big drain on AO3 resources has been people trying to fuck with them:
* Mass reporting fics for BS reasons to strike out against authors
* People joining and getting trained up because they think being staff means they'll be listened to about how they think AO3 needs to change, or to try to carry out petty vendettas against authors
* Other assorted BS, like certain bad faith arguments by people trying ot grind engagement on twitter
Anyway, sounds like someone got an internal email list and is using to harass staffers. Did someone join just to get a hold of an email list? Who knows? Anyway, this BS is why it can take weeks or months to get a clear cut case of plagiarism seen to. And now it's just gotten a lot worse.
I hate people

May. 7th, 2022 11:25 pm* I've had shingles 3 times. Stress tends to cause shingles to recur. How the ever-loving-aardvark I managed to get through the pandemic without another case of them I'll never know. However, I am having suspicious skin irritation that has all the early signs of shingles. But, it's not quote bad enough for a doctor to be able to diagnosis. Hopefully, it just goes away and the irritation being *exactly* where I get shingles is a big co-incidence.
I got chicken pox too young for the immunity to take right, which is why I get shingles. Every time I've asked for the vaccine I've been told that I am 'too young' for shingles and my 3 separate diagnoses by 3 separate doctors must alllll have been mis-diagnoses. If I get a 4th diagnosis I am going to be extremely pissed. For now I am going to sit here and attempt to disbelieve in shingles in hopes that makes them go away.
Also, maybe I can just pay for a shingles vaccine and get one somewhere instead of begging a doctor to believe my well documented medical history?
* I went on a GW2 break weeks ago now and... haven't really gotten back into the game yet. I tried, but it sort of fell flat. That sucks because the game is like 95% of my current social life. I've just been doing daily log ins, about 2 metas a week and a few strike missions with the guild.
Not sure what to do with that. I'd like to just not raid anymore, but if I'm not in the raiding group there goes... pretty much all my verbal conversations with people who know me from a hole in the ground.
* I haven't done much today, except I did make a bit pot of rice with beef bone broth, onion, and toasted sesame oil.
