DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

I found another image I liked better for Celebrating 'Patrice: The Movie' winning an Emmy for a late Sweetest Day.

I decided I didn't need this for 'Love on the Spectrum' and 'Welcome to Wrexham' both Emmy winners for a late National Sports Day.
Rejected video for late Fossil Day share

I decided this video was too duplicative to included in Howtown explains 'What Quetzalcoatlus was really like' for a late National Fossil Day.

I made this image for Emmy Awards for 'The Traitors' and 'Queer Eye' for a late Coming Out Day, then replaced it with on I liked better.


Happy Monday the 13th!

Watching this reminds me that I plan on posting a follow-up to '100 Foot Wave' leads Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series in nominations, but could lose to 'SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night'.
