can't express accurately how happy it makes me that c.s. lewis did not leave room for many interpretations in narnia. it's christian and you can't get around it. susan chose to care more about worldly things than what matters and he said what he said. the lion is Jesus. evil is evil and good is good and people have to choose. and that makes some readers angry because it's nearly impossible to ignore and they want to ignore it. they want it to be something else and they can't make it something else without making it not narnia. love that. that is doing it right

Hear me out, I'm gonna take this opportunity (my first contribution to this very niche interest of the internet that is consuming me lately) to suggest and spread the word about a new ship name for Vianca (this one you can't pronounce without it sounding the same as Bianca and also it looks like a typo):

back on the topic of eddie brock never being the first choice. crazy to me to think about the origin of the venom symbol which is that the symbiote Was With Spiderman First. the venom symbol is a slightly creepier version of the spiderman symbol with an extra bend in the legs cause it's the symbiote's best approximation of what it thought spiderman wanted. and when spiderman rejects the symbiote and venom shows up it's still the same suit just on a different person. the symbiote learned emotions from peter parker and it is angry and hurt at not being wanted but it stays in the form it thought he wanted... peter parker disarms eddie brock once by telling the symbiote that he wants it back and attacking once the symbiote starts to leave... eddie has such a hard time throughout the comics with the fact that the symbiote Will Leave Him if prompted by the right person. and be so honest. what would you do if you were eddie brock and no matter where you went or what you did there was a symbol that you were somebody else's second choice emblazoned across your chest

MOTHER SERIES TUMBLR EVENT?! ASK-A-PALOOZA INTEREST CHECK

Hello mother series enjoyers!!! Or, more specifically…. hello askblog enjoyers!!!! this event is for you!!

So, here's some background from me: I've wanted to make an askblog for a little while, but the idea of dedicating myself to a single concept/au/whatever is a little daunting (plus I would worry about how long I could keep it going for, etc etc)

Then, after seeing [this post] (hi zhari hi nana!!), my eyes were opened to the idea of temporary askblogs. And I thought wow, that sounds fun and much less daunting :D

SO THEN I thought: why not make a whole event about it? Where a bunch of people turn their blogs into mother series askblogs for a little while!! (You wouldn't have to actually change your whole blog theme of course, just have your askbox open and give some indication to askers that you're participating!!) You could also interact/rp with other askblogs/people participating and it'd be a grand ol' time overall!!

Would anyone be interested in an event like this?

If the results of this poll look promising, I'll make another poll for what week(s?) it should be!! Also, if you have any questions before you vote, don't be afraid to ask in the comments or dms!! I want everyone to feel welcome to participate :]

Want so badly to share my thoughts on TC and how life is strange fans LOVE to hate every LIS game to come out after the first because they can’t let Arcadia Bay go and they miss out on BEAUTIFUL storytelling because of their stubbornness and refusal to grow with the media they claim to love but I CANT because I will be ripped to shreds and have a pipe bomb in my mailbox by noon.

Choosing the Right Web Hosting: Shared Hosting vs Vps vs Dedicated Server

Shared Hosting vs Vps vs Dedicated Server, having a strong online presence is vital for businesses and individuals alike. Whether you’re running a small blog, an e-commerce website, or a large enterprise, your choice of web hosting can significantly impact your online success. Shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), and dedicated servers are three common options that cater to a wide range of hosting needs. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the differences and benefits of shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers to help you make an informed decision.

Shared Hosting: The Budget-Friendly Option Shared hosting is often the entry point for individuals and small businesses venturing into the online world. It’s like renting a tiny space in a large building, where multiple tenants share resources like space, electricity, and maintenance costs.

Affordability: Shared hosting is the most budget-friendly option. Hosting providers distribute server resources among multiple users, resulting in lower costs. Ease of Use: It’s incredibly user-friendly. You don’t need to be a tech guru to get your website up and running. Most providers offer user-friendly control panels, like cPanel, to simplify site management. Technical Maintenance: Hosting providers handle server maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about updates, security, or performance optimization. Resource Limitations: The major drawback of shared hosting is the limited resources. Since many users share the same server, your website’s performance can be affected during peak times. Security Concerns: Shared hosting can be less secure, as your website shares the server with others. If one site on the server is compromised, it can potentially impact others. Scalability: As your website grows, you might outgrow shared hosting. It’s not suitable for high-traffic or resource-intensive websites. VPS (Virtual Private Server): The Best of Both Worlds A Virtual Private Server is like having your own apartment in a multi-story building. While you still share the physical hardware with other users, VPS hosting creates isolated virtual environments for each user, offering a higher degree of control and security.

Resource Allocation: VPS hosting provides a dedicated portion of server resources for your website. This means your site’s performance remains stable and unaffected by other users on the server. Customization: You have more control over your server environment. You can install custom software, configure settings, and even choose your operating system. Cost-Effective Scalability: VPS hosting is scalable. You can easily upgrade or downgrade your plan to accommodate changing traffic levels or resource requirements. Enhanced Security: VPS hosting offers best security than shared hosting. Your virtual environment is isolated, reducing the risk of your site being affected by others. Managed or Unmanaged: Depending on your technical expertise, you can opt for managed or unmanaged VPS hosting. Managed plans come with support, while unmanaged plans require you to handle server administration. Technical Knowledge: VPS hosting may require a bit more technical know-how compared to shared hosting, but it’s still accessible for most users. Dedicated Server: The Powerhouse Solution A dedicated server is like owning a standalone house, giving you complete control over the property. In this scenario, the entire server is yours to use as you see fit.

Full Resource Control: Dedicated servers offer you the entire server’s resources. You won’t have to share CPU, RAM, or storage with anyone else. High Performance: With dedicated resources, your website will perform at its best, even during traffic spikes. Complete Customization: You have the freedom to configure the server as per your specific needs, making it suitable for hosting multiple high-traffic websites or resource-intensive applications. Security: Dedicated servers provide top-tier security, as you’re the sole user. You can implement advanced security measures to protect your data. Technical Expertise Required: Managing a dedicated server demands a strong technical skill set. If you’re not comfortable with server administration, you’ll need to hire a sysadmin or opt for managed dedicated hosting. Cost: Dedicated servers are the most expensive hosting option due to the exclusive use of resources and the associated maintenance costs. Making the Right Choice The choice between shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated server hosting ultimately depends on your specific needs and resources. Here are some guidelines to help you decided:

Shared Hosting: Ideal for beginners, personal blogs, and small websites with low traffic. It’s the most budget-friendly option but comes with resource limitations. VPS Hosting: A versatile option that suits small to medium-sized businesses and growing websites. It offers a good balance of control, performance, and cost. Dedicated Server Hosting: For large businesses, e-commerce sites, or applications with high resource demands. It provides complete control and performance but requires a higher budget and technical expertise. Shared Hosting vs Vps vs Dedicated Server, Consider your website’s current and future requirements, budget, technical skills, and the level of control and security you need when making your decision. Hosting providers often offer various plans within these categories, so you can find the one that best fits your needs.

Conclusion Shared Hosting vs Vps vs Dedicated Server, selecting the right hosting solution is a critical decision that can impact your website’s performance, security, and scalability. Understanding the differences between shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers is the first step towards making an informed choice. Evaluate your unique requirements and resources, and choose the hosting option that aligns best with your goals and budget.

GOd okay I went to my neighbor’s housewarming, and don’t get me wrong, I love parties (if everybody doesn’t give me  all of their attention all the time and tell me that i’m smart and funny and pretty I’ll DIE), but I forget how stressful it is to introduce yourself to new people when you work in a politically charged field.  The whole evening was this:

Party Guest:  So, have you lived in the area long?

[Okay, let’s think. White male, thirties, tall, muscle tee, sandals, wedding ring, but here without a partner.  I just overheard him complaining about tariffs, so he’s either left-leaning or a disillusioned republican.  Good sign, definitely not MAGA.  Ah, that’s right, he brought his daughters – ages 5 and 7, well-behaved in a crowd – and they’re wearing princess dresses… doting father with an active role in raising his kids, lets them choose their own outfits… my gut is telling me heterosexual male feminist.  That could be good or bad – statistically speaking, he believes in climate change… but that means 50/50 odds of anti-nuclear sentiment.  I need more information, but I must answer carefully.  We’re rapidly approaching the Question.]

Me: Not long!  I just moved down from Boston a few months ago –

[Ball is in his court.  Boston has been in the news lately for being an immigrant sanctuary city, but that’s mostly local news – I’ll get information based on body language.  Oh, I may have made a tactical error.  This is an opportunity for sports rivalry to come up, and I am ill-educated on the subject.  Quick, I need a counter maneuver.] 

Me: – but I actually grew up in the area.

[Good save, and a decent delaying action.  If he takes the bait, I can redirect the conversation to local childhood reminiscence.  He’s had two margaritas, and they’re starting to affect him – talking a bit too loud, and his expansive hand gestures bespeak more than typical New Jerseyan gregariousness.  That could be to my advantage… unless it makes him too bold].

Party Guest:  Coming back home for family, or is it a work thing?

[Shit, okay, he asked about work.  This could be the endgame… but he’s foolishly thrown me a lifeline.  I can’t lie, the hosts already know the real answer, but I can dissemble by playing to his fatherly conversational weak spots.]

Me:  I moved for work, but my family does live nearby, so that’s a nice perk as well.  I get to see my nephews a lot more often!  The eldest just turned five.

[That should do it.  My nephews are about the same age as his kids, which will build a rapport and redirect the conversation back to himself.  It should be easy to get him talking about his daughters.  Unless… oh no.  He’s two drinks in on a Sunday night and working on a third in front of his children, while his wife stays home.  She wakes up earlier than him, potentially much earlier.  He’s been talking about the economy a lot.  Damn, recently laid off?  He’s going to focus on work.]

Party Guest: That’s awesome.  What sort of job?

[The brilliant bastard.  He’s good, he’s very good.  Truly a worthy opponent.  Pierced right through every single gambit and went straight to the Question. Have I met my match? Will I finally be humbled?  It’s do or die.]

Me:  I’m an engineer at an energy company.

[Alea iacta est.]

Party Guest:  Energy?

[Last chance.  He's intelligent and fiendishly clever, but hope against hope that he’s more well-read in Aristotle than Rutherford.  This should dead-end him]

Me:  Nuclear, kind of. Fusion, not fission.

Party Guest:  Oh, that sounds cool.

Me:  Mhm.  So, how do you know Bill and Stephanie?

Party Guest:  I was in film school with Bill.  Have you seen his documentary?

[Ha. Another victory, all the sweeter for having been hard-fought. Time for a celebratory cornichon, maybe some crackers]

i dont understand why some systems still seem to express a "pick one thing only" mindset it makes so little sense to me like. what does being plural mean again

[iloveyoublue]

actually i already posted this with everything i’m about to say in the tags but i’m having v strong emotions about this topic so i’m not gonna hide my words there anymore i wanna TALK about this shit

(side note i can't even describe the catharsis im feeling witnessing my fav tumblr creator openly speak on this issue and share my exact opinion, broke my inactivity streak to come back for this)

'the imagined possibility of your own pain should not be worth more to you than the lived reality of someone else's' LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!! so few of the arguments i see are from genuine survivors of the topics in question, and so many of the arguments i see are DIRECTLY SPEAKING FOR THESE PEOPLE??????

as someone living through a genocide in real time and more personally being a victim of dv it is WILD to me that murder/extreme violence and constant fear/ threat of bodily harm is outside someone's idea of normal… i live in ENGLAND where we have strict gun laws + are not in a war zone + are a relatively safe country and yet i walk down the street to see photos of victims of local police brutality or mugging gone wrong or targeted violence against women. my deepest sympathy to anyone currently living in america because i can’t imagine the terror you are feeling with current events

also i'm shocked that what this person has taken from the debates on the subject is ‘wow they're gonna FORCE me to consume this content they're gonna MAKE me read about this : (‘ like ???????????? genuinely how do you make that leap?????? i am seriously confused and more than a little concerned for them because do you really have that little respect for your own peace of mind? are you so glued to your technology that you've lost fundamental human instinct of: oh no this is bad my anxiety response go brrrr, okay let's not look at this anymore

dont get me wrong, i have so much love to everyone who DOESNT want to read this kind of fiction - im sending you all the support and care in the world, and if you see something that makes you uncomfortable that sucks man, seriously. have a nice cup of tea and a brain bleaching cat video, call a friend or a therapist or even journal your thoughts out. but that doesn't give you the right to censor other people's reading material. ESPECIALLY not victims'.

i am not intending to shame ANYONE; whether you are disgusted by this kind of content, or comforted by this kind of content. what i AM intending to do is draw attention to the rise of censorship and the direct link that has to modern day fascism

regarding your post about people feeling uncomfortable with reading certain topics i think its quite the opposite of them not realizing its not a material reality. it actually feels too close to home, a bit too real (considering we hear and read about cases every day) and you are aware that it happen to you everyday so it makes you feel uncomfortable to think about. on the other hand topics like murder, war crimes, etc. most people are alienated from them feeling safe that it wont happen to them (now thats a thing that happens only in stories) and reading about doesn't spark the same type of panic.

but also even if that wasn't the case.. what do you think its supposed to happen when somone is uncomfortable? just keep reading, shoving discomfort down their throat because of other people? Yes i understand that there are victims who have survived it and i will try my best to accommodate them and treat them in the way they want to and i will even swallow my discomfort down and read about the experience but that wont change anything. i will still be afraid of the possibility that will happen to me, i will still squirm when i hear about another case and then try to avoid in the places where i go to enjoy myself (like ao3)

also in terms of victims i imagine that as much as there are some who would like to read and write about their experience there are other who would want to distance themselves from the memory. Isn't it just preference at the end of day. why do people must be guilt tripped to to read something they dont want to.

😭 this is of the most braindead annoying messages i’ve ever received on here i’m actually almost impressed. fucking obviously i am not suggesting that CSA victims read triggering material on purpose that would be insane (💀). but my post wasn’t about victims! i was in fact complaining about emptyhead non-survivors who say things precisely like this!

1. describing murder and war crimes as literally “now that’s something that only happens in stories!” is such a glaring indictment of your worldview… these things are realities for everyone living outside of the imperial core. even within the west, if you’re a transwoman of color, if you’re a DV victim, an addict, an unhoused person, or poc and interacting with police– you are not alienated from extreme violence! it’s very real & present experience! for you to say that reading about systematized violence is “safer” because it’s “less real” especially when we are in the middle of a genocide is literally stomach churning 😭. you should go donate to winter relief for gaza and never speak up again

2. not everything is about you! perhaps this is harsh but i do believe that if you haven’t experienced csa/sa (or been close to the issue), then reading about it cannot be “triggering” to you in the same way it would be for, say, someone with actual csa ptsd. you might feel uncomfortable, but you are not in danger of having a trauma response. sensitivity is beautiful, but i think in moments like these you could stand to be a little bit braver, and a little bit more sturdy. nothing fictional can hurt you. feeling discomfort and fear at the contents of a story is not the same as real pain- it is healthy to practice experiencing these emotions through the safe medium of fiction.

so much of this ask is painfully egotistic… but in a naive, almost endearing sort of way? you dismiss others experiences with the wave of a hand: “yes victims but what about my SQUIRMING”, “but what about the mere possibility it might happen to ME”! i want to remind you that i am a csa survivor complaining about the difficulty of discussing these subjects with non-survivors, and you are a non-survivor inserting yourself into this space to ask “what about MY discomfort?”…. well! terrible, violent, undoingly horrific events happen every day! it is not helpful to act like victims of SA are somehow uniquely traumatized in some special, singularly awful way. no “type” of trauma is inherently worse than any another. people survive and recover from all kinds of experiences, and i find this beautiful & empowering, and frequently the subject of great art. it is worth confronting your own personal discomfort (💀) with that art in order to sit with and face the lived reality of those experiences. doing so will help you develop a more complex and empathetic worldview.

not everything is about you! 🙂‍↕️ the imagined possibility of your own pain should not be worth more to you than the lived reality of someone else’s. this ask was exhausting let’s all read averno by louise gluck to calm down
