I don't think people who come from wattpad after the purge and now want ao3 to have its own official app understand that one of the main reasons behind the recent wattpad purge that drove them to ao3 was due to pressure from appstore demanding wattpad to be more strict and follow appstore's policy. wattpad complied in order for its app to be able to remain on appstore. thus the wattpad purge.

ao3 doesn't have an app because for it to have an app, appstore will have to approve it first. and if, hypothetically, ao3 needs appstore to approve it, it will also have to abide by appstore's pro-censorship stance and start banning dark and taboo fics, which is against its own core principle of being completely against censorship.

ao3 doesn't need an app. it works more than fine without an app. the reason ao3 can allow dark and taboo fics, the reason it can allow the most disgusting and shockingly vile fics, and be completely against censorship is because it doesn't need appstore's approval. it stands on its own as a non-profit organization with functioning site and a team of lawyers protecting its platform, its users, and every single fanwork on its platform.

everybody say thank you ao3

here's the list of things you need to know about ao3 if you're new to the platform

AO3 does not, will not, has NEVER had an app. If you think that you found “the ao3 app,” that’s not the ao3 app

Just try your best, get off your phone as much as you can, honor your hurt feelings and also the hurt feelings of others, favor sincerity over nonchalance whenever it’s appropriate to, reach out to people you miss, let go of people when it’s time, operate from a deeply rooted self respect rather than from a lens of what people think, try your best to read the room, sit in the sun on overcast days (with sunscreen on), drink lots of water, pursue everything you want aggressively, accept that your timeline will be different, welcome detours if circumstances call for them, hold both yourself and others accountable, try to move your body as much as you can and you will be okay diva

I was talking about Sherlock Holmes with my cool weird 42 year old coworker the other day and he said that he had read other works by ACD but not any Sherlock Holmes. ACD is smiling down from heaven on his one and only true fan.

Knigge für Unbemittelte

Ans deutsche Volk, von Ulm bis Kiel: Ihr esst zu oft! Ihr esst zu viel! Ans deutsche Volk, von Thorn bis Trier: Ihr seid zu faul! Zu faul seid ihr!

Und wenn sie euch den Lohn entzögen! Und wenn der Schlaf verboten wär! Und wenn sie euch so sehr belögen, dass sich des Reiches Balken bögen! Seid höflich und sagt Dankesehr.

Die Hände an die Hosennaht! Stellt Kinder her! Die Nacht dem Staat! Euch liegt der Rohrstock tief im Blut. Die Augen rechts! Euch geht’s zu gut.

Ihr sollt nicht denken, wenn ihr sprecht! Gehirn ist nichts für kleine Leute. Den Millionären geht es schlecht. Ein neuer Krieg käm ihnen recht, So macht den Ärmsten doch die Freude!

Ihr seid zu frech und zu begabt! Seid taktvoll, wenn ihr Hunger habt! Rasiert euch besser! Werdet zart! Ihr seid kein Volk von Lebensart.

Und wenn sie euch noch tiefer stießen und würfen Steine hinterher! Und wenn Sie euch verhaften ließen und würden nach euch Scheiben schießen! Sterbt höflich und sagt Dankesehr.

-- Erich Kästner

I like when the bus stops directly in front of you out of the line of waiting people and opens its doors. Chosen by the dragon

[icarusdiesatdawn]

I hate this post. Ever since I read it I can't help but think "chosen by the dragon" whenever the bus stops in front of me or "denied by the dragon" when it doesn't. Every. single. time. That's a minimum of ten times a week. Do you know how annoying that is

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.
