dw_maintenanceOlá de Lisboa! (I'm in Lisbon right now for work...)
Thank you everybody who has tested on canary - I'm about to push the code up to stable. I know that not everything has been tested and there's a lot in this deploy, so I expect some things to break or be weird. We have ported a lot more of the "older" pages to the newer formats, so there will be some UI changes in a few places, but it shouldn't be anything too major.
Watch for: One thing I know will require tuning, we now have added rate limits (which basically allows us to control how rapidly DW pages are loaded.) This is a protection mostly designed against bots, but any time in my career I've rolled out new rate limits, I've learned someone is hitting them and they have to be tuned. So if you see them, please let me know!
Anyway please do comment and I'll work to fix things today. We also have a rollback ready in case we need to (and I'll be honest, I expect we may need to... we really should do more frequent deploys.)
Known Issues
- Fixed: Search has gone walkabout.
- Fixed: Some UI weirdness with Manage Tags.
- Fixed: Login redirects are not working.
- Fixed: Login page sometimes returning 'invalid form submission.'
- Fixed: Rename keywords checkbox on icons page also gone walkabout.
- Fixed: Uploading large icon files erroring / not going to the image editor.
As always, thank you for your patience and supporting our scrappy little service!

Another bit of stress meandering: I keep dropping small things at work - not catching some of the nuances that need to be done until after I close the ticket; then the PM reaches out to me with questions about the things I've dropped. This makes me feel inept and dumb, but I know the root cause is because I'm so burned out. I wonder if just meeting my job expectations and backing off from being a "high performer" would help with stress? (I'm both annoyed and amused that this is referred to as "quiet quitting".)
I shouldn't complain - I have a job that is relatively well-paid, fully remote, and (mostly) accepting of my health issues. But god, I'm worn out.

He looked at me, smirked, and asked, "How does that make you feel? Cranky Eldergoth?"
Okay, yes, it does cause me to side-eye the person a tiny bit, but ... it's their style. It makes them happy. But yes, my Eldergoth heart is confused.

I'm starting to plan my packing for the upcoming UK trip, and no really I mean it trying to figure out how to pack lightly. For almost three weeks. My solution (probably) is packing four of the "Selkie Governess" blouses that the Madwoman in the Attic made for me - black, b&w stripe, pink, and ivory - and four skirts that can be swapped around with them. Plus wearing another black one and a black skirt while traveling, and putting another skirt in my carry-on luggage. No, the blouses don't have pockets, but I'm fine with wearing a cute velvet pouch that will hold my phone and fan, with everything else in my purse.
THREAT LEVEL: EBONY DARK’NESS VELVET GOLDMINE DE LIONCOURT
Jun. 9th, 2026 04:52 pmcupcake_gothThe first episode of The Vampire Lestat is everything I wanted. There he is, my gloriously messy Brat Prince. Poor impulse control, hiding his insecurities and broken heart by performing hedonism, and yes, my egotistical vampire rock star boyfriend.
There’s a great fan theory going around related to the first scenes, and I agree with it. (It ties into later books of the series, so I won’t go into it. But it makes SO MUCH SENSE.)
I haven't gone looking for discussion around this, but I'm curious as to how the show fans who haven't read the books are dealing with the end of the first episode. Because yes, the trailers implied they were Going There, but whoooooo, it's canon in the show, and I kinda want to see the people melting down about OMG PROBLEMATIC.
