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

What if when Michael got Distortioned he/they/it/(?) had just kept showing up to work? Imagine Gertrude comes into the archives and finds a bunch of paperwork filled out in yellow highlighter and folded into impossible shapes, and then Michael-Distortion just walks into the room door-style and sits down at his work computer so it can email Gertrude a phishing scam.

[ID: A digital comic of Jon and Martin. Martin is a fat white man with short hair, freckles, and a scruffy beard and he is wearing round glasses and a t-shirt. Jon is a thin Arab man with long curly dark hair and a full beard and scars all over his face, and he is wearing half-moon glasses, a coat, sweater, trousers and shoes.
Jon is draped across Martin's lap, gently holding his face, as Martin rests one hand over Jon's and the other holds his back.
Jon: Mahtin, I would DIE for you
Martin: I don't want you to die, though?
Jon, after a pause: WHY
