Earth to Luna.

++ After seventeen years since the site launched, Archive Of Our Own is finally exiting its beta testing phase. They announced this the day after April Fool's when they did the hilarious joke of changing the "beta" on the site to "omega" (as part of the A/B/O, a.k.a. Omegaverse, trope), which was a clever way of announcing the transition from finally getting out of beta the day after. Bless AO3, truly.

++ Everything involving the Artemis II mission around the moon has been utterly captivating.

I actually wasn't aware this was going to happen, so when I heard about that they launched people to the moon I unfortunately thought this was something in relation to SpaceX, but I was thankfully corrected that this was a NASA mission and my mood shifted to being utterly delighted. Just every single update we're getting from their mission thus far has been amazing, because while we've been to the moon before this is the first mission since Apollo 17 in 1972. I'm someone who loves space, and any kind of space exploration where it favors science and the human curiosity of understanding what lies beyond the stars is worthy to be excited about.

Aaah! Artemis II is making me super happy. My girlfriend is the one who keeps me updated about all things related to the mission. I love to be able to experience it as it happens, not as History, you know? Now... if only it would make people see how we're all in this together, not divided... that'd be grand. But ah, the utopia.

And omg, the Beta is gone from AO3!? woah, I never thought we'd see the day!

The AO3 Omega thing was HILARIOUS.
I'll be honest, I never thought the site would get out of beta for real. ^_^;

I wasn't initially invested in the Artemis II mission, but yes--everything about it is so chill and joyful! It's making me and everyone at my workplace SO happy! <3
