Dreamwidth works in China??

Hi everyone! After working remotely as a school librarian for a few months, I was able to get a visa and travel to China. The school gave me a VPN, but before getting to campus I had to quarantine for two weeks in a hotel and any attempts at using the VPN got me kicked off of the WiFi. That meant I had a lot of time to experiment with the Great Firewall.

Websites that work:
Dreamwidth
Livejournal
fanfiction.net
CNN
Project Gutenberg
RB Digital

Websites that don't work:
AO3
deviantart
twitter
tumblr
Google
BBC
NYTimes

I'm in Beijing now, and everything's going well so far! My library is gorgeous!!

Ok I just finished reading the transcript and I had no idea that the show would inspire fans to be so nasty. Whether you have problems with AO3 or not, this is too intense.

It's a little alarming that idolatry is so rampant. I thought I hated stan culture in the US but this is on another level.
