The more Leverage I watch, the more I feel like it’s fanfiction of some alternate Leverage show. Like someone was like, “I love this show and these characters so much, and I need a college AU and a music star AU and an Office crossover and I want them to solve a mystery at a murder mystery party on a spooky island and and and…” I love it so.
Leverage is fanfiction of every heist and action trope written by people who deeply love the genre (and who are even more deeply pissed off by current events.) And that’s why it’s perfect.

If you are receiving a warning that your password has appeared in a data breach from another site and is no longer secure, you will need to change your password to a stronger one before you can log back in.
If you are still logged in on any device, please make sure your email address is up to date before logging out or resetting your password, or you may lose access to your account.
Check below the cut for information on how to check or update your email address, and how to change or reset your password.
Posted: 20:45 UTC 31 July, 2026
Please follow these steps to check and update your email address. If you don't know your password, or if your password is insecure, you will need to reset your password – which requires you to have access to your account's email address.
How do I check what my account’s email address is?
If you are logged in:
Go to your Preferences page (Select "Hi, [USERNAME]!" at the top of the page, and choose "My Preferences" from the drop-down list)
Click on the “Change Email” button at the top of the page
Your email address will be listed on that page, next to “Current email”
If you are not logged in:
Check your email account for recent emails from AO3, such as subscription notifications or kudos and comment emails.
Look at the “To:” field to see what email address is associated with your account.
You will need to enter this email address exactly as it is listed here in order to receive a password reset email.
How do I change my email address? What if I don't have access to my old email address?
You don't need access to your old email address to change it to a new one, as long as you also know your current password.
Log in
Go to your Preferences page (Select "Hi, [USERNAME]!" at the top of the page, and choose "My Preferences" from the drop-down list)
Click on the “Change Email” button at the top of the page
In both the “New email” and “Enter new email again” fields, enter an email address that you have access to
In the “Password” field, enter your current password
Click the “Confirm Email” button
On the next page, make sure that the banner displays the correct new email address
Click the "Yes, Confirm Email" button
Check your new email address for an email titled “[AO3] Confirm your email change”
Click on the confirmation link in that email, making sure to open it in a browser where you are already logged in
Go to the “Change Email” page and double-check that your “Current email” has been successfully updated.
If you still see the banner saying your email change is pending, the most likely reason for this is that you were logged out before you clicked the confirmation link. Make sure to log in to your account before following the email confirmation link, or open the link in a browser where you are already logged in.
I know my current password, but I'm afraid my password is insecure. How can I change my password to a stronger one?
First, refer to the above instructions for checking or updating your email address, so that you can receive a password reset in case your password is insecure. Then:
Log in
Go to your Preferences page (Select "Hi, [USERNAME]!" at the top of the page, and choose "My Preferences" from the drop-down list)
Click on the “Change Password” button at the top of the page
Enter your current password into the “Old password” field
Enter your new password into both the “New password” and “Confirm new password” fields
Click the “Change Password” button
You will be automatically logged out on all devices.
If, upon logging in, you receive a message saying your password is insecure, then the new password you chose was insecure and you can't use it to log back in. You will need to reset your password (refer to the below instructions) and select a more secure password this time. You can use a password generator to choose a stronger password.
I don't know my current password/my password is insecure, but I know and have access to my account's email address.
In a private/incognito browser, go to the Reset Password page: https://archiveofourown.org/users/password/new (also available by clicking the “Forgot Password?” link on the login form)
Enter the email address associated with your AO3 account
Check your email for the password reset email
Click the “use this link to create a new password” link in the email
Enter a new, secure password
You will be automatically logged in on this device, and automatically logged out on all other devices.
If you continue to receive the message that your password is insecure, then the new password you chose was also insecure. You will need to reset your password again and select a more secure password this time. You can use a password generator to choose a stronger password.
I tried resetting my password, but it didn't work. Help?
The most likely reasons the password reset didn't work are:
You are entering the wrong email address for your AO3 account. Refer to the above instructions on how to check what your account's email address is.
Your email provider is blocking emails from AO3 or sending them to spam/social folders. Search for an email titled “[AO3] Reset your password”.
Your email account doesn't have enough storage and can't receive new emails. You'll need to delete old emails, photos, or videos to empty your storage before requesting a password reset.
You requested multiple password resets in a short time period, resulting in either a “Retry later” page or the link in the first password reset email becoming invalid. Please wait at least one hour before trying again, only submit the form once, and make sure you are using the link in the most recent password reset email.
The new password you chose was insecure, so you can't use it to log back in. You will need to reset your password again and select a more secure password this time. You can use a password generator to choose a stronger password.
I don't know my password/my password is insecure, and I don't know or have access to my account's email address.
You will need to submit a Support ticket containing the following information:
your username
your account’s current email address (if you know it)
an email address that you can access and would like to update your account's email to (enter this email into the Email field so we can contact you)
Support will begin the account recovery process with you, which will ask you for further proof of account ownership. Please be patient, as there are many AO3 users who are also submitting account recovery tickets right now.
The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.
Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

ppl on ao3 should use the "this work was inspired by" option more. so many fics out there that put links to other fics in the a/n but theres a better option.....
important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!
A lot of institutions intentionally use complex language as a weapon. They rely on people not understanding beyond a certain level to get you to sign agreements you shouldn't sign! To skip over the fine print that you should read and be put off by! There are people deliberately profiting off of this kind of ignorance.
Having an incomplete understanding of language can put your employment, housing, and benefits at risk. Understanding language protects that quality of life you're so concerned about.
There's a reason that right wing and extreme conservatives always try and take control of education first. Take away peoples' understanding and knowledge and blinker them to make them easier to lead and control. The GOP are doing a prime job of it in red states, packing the curriculum with religious and right-wing propaganda. It's a standard opening move.
It's happened in the rise of every fash-led movement. Take out the scientists and the philosophers and the educators, especially the people who look at the world and try and work out how to make it better.
I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!
I <3 HeroRats, I've been following them for years and they're still one of my favorite things
(I also <3 rats, and used to have pet rats, so admittedly I am super biased, but they're such sweet babies! Forget the anti-rat propaganda!)
Dr. Cindy Fast, APOPO's Head of Training and Innovation, explains how the adorable 'HeroRATS' are saving lives across the globe.
You can adopt a baby yourself here ;)
There are also HeroRats saving lives by sniffing out tuberculosis, illegal wildlife trafficking products, and survivors of natural disasters during search and rescue operations! (source)
Okay, I wanted to find a reblog explaining what's going on because the world deserves to know this entire story, but there wasn't one. Brits, please correct me if I get anything wrong!
This man is Nigel Farage, UK politician and world-class racist asshole. Along with former prime minister Boris Johnson, Nigel here was one of the main proponents of Brexit, a catastrophic policy decision that tanked the British economy and was fueled primarily by racist anti-immigrant bullshit. In 2024, he was elected as the MP (Member of Parliament) for Clacton, representing the far-right Reform UK party. Reform is currently trying to siphon right wing voters away from the mainstream Conservative party (aka the Tories).
Just before his election in 2024, Farage received 5 million pounds from Christopher Harborne, a crypto billionaire who has also made significant contributions to the Reform party, and did not disclose it to the appropriate authorities. In May, Parliament began an independent standards investigation into Farage's finances. If the investigation were to proceed and find him guilty, the most likely outcome would be that he would be suspended from Parliament. Then his constituency, Clacton, would have the opportunity to sign a recall petition, and if 10% of voters sign, Farage would be removed and there would be a by-election (similar to a special election in the US) for his seat.
But instead of waiting the investigation out, on July 7th, Farage chose to resign from his seat, which would pause the investigation and force a by-election prematurely, in which he would stand as the candidate for Reform. Farage claims he did this to let the people of Clacton decide whether he's innocent or guilty and to "stick two fingers up at the entire establishment." The problem with that logic is that if Farage wins, the investigation will start right back up again, meaning there's a possibility for a second by-election if he's found guilty and the people of Clacton want him out. Farage and Reform seem to have been gambling that if he won the first by-election (which he was likely to at the time), the constituency wouldn't sign onto the recall petition because they would consider the matter already settled. This would get him off scot-free, and a competitive by-election would help push the argument that Reform is a viable alternative to the Tories.
Enter Count Binface, an intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons from planet Sigma IX. Count Binface (and his predecessor, Lord Buckethead) have run in elections all across the UK, including against almost all of the Prime Ministers of the last decade. Some of his policies include building at least one affordable house, nationalizing Adele, conscripting people who use speakerphones on public transportation, forcing bicyclists who disobey traffic laws to ride unicycles, and moving the hand dryer in the men's bathroom at the Crown and Treaty Pub in Uxbridge to a more sensible location. According to an actual news interview with actual journalists, Count Binface was on his way back to Sigma IX after the Makerfield by-election (story for another time), but he turned his spaceship around to run in Clacton when the by-election was announced. In announcing his candidacy, he encouraged the other major parties to stand down.
And then they did. Within 24 hours of Farage resigning, every single major party, on every side of the aisle, went "LMFAO nope." They all agreed that they wouldn't stand in this by-election, but if Farage were to be re-elected and found guilty, they would run in the second by-election if the people of Clacton wanted there to be one. Which is how you get this excellent tweet from then-Chancellor Rachel Reeves, announcing her decision to let the by-election go through:
(I had to look this up: Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead is a made-up position that allows MPs to resign in the middle of their term.)
So at this point, Farage is basically fucked. His goals with this by-election were to settle the court of public opinion and to strengthen Reform, both of which were predicated on this election being competitive. Reform is currently trying to paint the other parties as not taking the people Clacton seriously and have even tried to paint Count Binface as the "mainstream establishment candidate," but in all likelihood that will fail. Farage will still likely win (though the support for Count Binface is apparently growing stronger in Clacton, especially since the media is being forced to take him seriously), but the likelihood that he survives is slim.
Or alternatively, he loses, and the House of Commons has its first ever MP from Planet Sigma IX.
(It's not just the by-election stunt on its own, of course (though this might help by heaping ridicule on his head) - but his massive, massive financial corruption being just a wee bit illegal, and for which there is copious evidence, and which may result in criminal charges as well as the HoC disciplinary procedures mentioned above ...
Although there will always be a core element of fascists who only admire him all the more for it.
And his backers will of course cut him loose and pick another figurehead; they and their billions will be unaffected.
(fortunately none of the alternative figureheads currently available are anything like as charismatic as the charming Mr. Nigel FarRight, so there's that at least))
(this article gives a good idea of why Farage and his ilk do so well, though, despite everything they are and everything they do - the prevailing hopelessness and the grind of deprivation)
You can’t blame his constituents in Clacton for their pessimism – because they have been let down for years, says Guardian columnist Owen Jo

Discworld book where the auditors hear about the phrase "it's not over till the fat lady sings" and hire someone to kidnap all the fat ladies in the world to find the One who will end the world when she sings.
Lady Sybil Vimes is one of the ladies, so Sam Vimes is on the warpath until he can find her, while the watch desperately try to keep all infrastructure from falling apart without all the fat ladies who keep it together on a daily basis
It ends when Sybil leads a hoard of fat ladies into battle, which ends up being so glorious an unrelated time traveler who witnesses it goes back to his native time starts the myth of the Valkyries
They actively keep trying to remove nanny ogg, however no matter how hard they try and how many dimensions they send her through she keeps coming back, they marvel at her magical might but in truth she just really wants to finish this bloody song and those knobs in Grey don’t like it so it’s a cackle sending them running every time she rematerialises in song
These gentle, 400-pound giants are splashing back from the brink of extinction.
Green sea turtles have been an iconic endangered species since the 1980s, mostly due to bycatch in fishing nets and taking adults and eggs for food. I have core childhood memories of watching Steve Irwin talk about sea turtle conservation in front of a beach full of nesting green sea turtles.
After 45 years of conservation efforts, their population now meets the IUCN criteria for Least Concern rather than Endangered.
For a species with such a slow life history (it takes green sea turtles decades to reach sexual maturity) and a nearly global population, this is a Really Big Deal. This is the kind of long term conservation victory that many of the amazing humans who started working on green sea turtle conservation back in the 80s didn't live to see.
Just because something isn't fixed right away doesn't mean it won't ever be fixed. Just because the work is slow doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.
genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.
AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.
they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.
they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.
whenever someone calls me and says they're from my bank or car loan company or whatever and asks me security questions, I always tell them "excuse me, you called me, how can you prove who you are" and every single time they act like it's the first time anyone's ever asked that, which absolutely boggles my mind. for the love of fuck please do not answer "security questions" when you didn't initiate the call, at least without making them answer a few first
I agree, never give your info in a call you didn't initiate. Phone numbers can be spoofed. They may actually sound like your bank or credit card company.
If you receive a call, hang up and call back using the phone number on their website. Explain that you received a call about X and if it's legit, they'll be able to tell you so. They're also not usually going to get mad if you say "I'm going to hang up and call you back." Scams will though. Because you won't be calling THEM back, you'll be alerting the bank someone is committing fraud in their name. So they'll get urgent about it. Ignore them and hang up. Call back on an actual line.

Hi im a librarian amd that's not now this works. If a library allows you to have a digital card and not live in the area, you are NOT taking away resources from other people, that's not how anything works. Please keep doing it!!! The more people that use our services, the more money we can get from funding sources!!! Please use us!!! We are not utilized enough, by people in or out of our community. Thanks.
saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.
