Was anyone else’s Outlook/365 completely down?

Just tried to check emails and got hit with the spinning wheel of doom. My calendar vanished, Teams won’t load, and even drafts are stuck in purgatory. Microsoft’s status page is all green checks, but Twitter’s exploding with complaints from Asia to North America.

Rumor has it the outage started after their ""optional"" new Outlook update rolled out last month (you know, the one that promised “smoother drafting” but apparently broke the internet instead). My productivity is now a nostalgic memory.

This isn’t clickbait. When this book came out everyone who recommended it to me said it was a WLW dungeons and dragons romance novel. Which it isn’t, the best way to describe this book is a dungeons and dragons book that has the barest hint of a lesbian relationship. Neither of the characters think
