Inside His Shell

Sometimes family is you, your daughter, your daughter’s girlfriend, your daughter’s supervisor, your ex on a good day, your daughter’s coworkers-slash-friends in saving the world, one of whom technically doesn’t live here but is here often enough that’s in name only. And your mom. And an ‘uncle’ who’s a turtle. And an uncle younger than you. And a great-something granduncle who’s also younger than you. And a grandfather who might be getting a little senile but is still sticking around somehow. And an invisible baby

dashboard commentary: the reckoninging

So, apparently Ao3's down, which sucks.  And this tip may not help you, but it's worth a try: if a site goes down to, like, DDoS or something, you might be able to emulate it using the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive, which is great.  Like, freshman year of college I read a lot of Lunaescence, which has since been taken down for upgrading to something-or-other and hasn't come back since.  I was like, oh yeah, what was that site, nostalgia and was a little disappointed to find it was gone, but using the Wayback Machine I was actually able to navigate to some of the fics.  Not all of them.  But, like, if you have the url of an old youtube video or website that was taken down, you might be able to view it on Wayback Machine.  I can't promise you'll be able to navigate to something specific, but you can probably access the archived version and find something to read/watch/whatever.
Anyway, the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive is great.  Of course, there can be other issues (like, seriously, this is why they say you should be careful about what you post online because it could be forever) but it does exactly what it says on the tin, it tries to serve as an archive for the internet and internet history, which is worthwhile.  And also apparently it's been under attack lately from companies wanting them to take down, say, free books because they don't think digital public libraries are a good idea.  /shakes head  So show them some love (if it's just by using the service, it still looks good).
(You can also prepare for the next time by manually capturing it on the Wayback Machine so you don't have to download it if you don't have the space on your own computer.)
I hope this helps someone!
