yo so here are some things the ddos attack on ao3 should NOT provoke you to do:
decide that this is an excuse to be racist and islamophobic about who you think the attackers are (which is likely a front anyway)
assume that the people who care about fighting racism and the mistreatment of volunteers by otw are in alignment with this (if we were, why would we be doing all this work to try and make otw better)
use this as a reason to defend any lack of change on ao3 because it's too "at-risk" (fixing otw's dysfunction could only better serve the organization in emergencies)
think that the only way you can support the volunteers who are working hard to fix this is by donating to otw (the volunteers aren't going to be paid, and otw has $2.5 million in surplus that not only isn't being used for anything but has only earned $90 in interest in a year because it's not even invested well, it's just sitting there)
what it should provoke you to do - push the otw board to make changes, including:
addressing the racism that already makes ao3 and otw a hostile space for many fans of color, including volunteers
paying for workers and services with that budget surplus to help keep volunteers from burning out constantly
hold the board and the legal committee accountable to the volunteers who have already been mistreated and put at risk by their actions
probably more things! these are just off the top of my head idk!
tbh there's so much dysfunction in this org that it's really hard to know where to start. but the knee-jerk racist and "it's the antis out to bring ao3 down!!!" reactions are ridiculous, come on

I was tagged by @the-advocate-of-fives so here are 3 facts about me!
1. I was a vegan for a year and didn’t tell anybody!
2. I am 5′9!
3. I am incredibly gay! (Lesbian)
So those are 3 incredibly random facts about me!
My pronouns are she/her and this blog is for whatever I feel like :) Currently Trials of Apollo lives rent free in my head.
