Tumbling down tumbling down... @theotherjax - Tumblr Blog

How did I, a person with no hands and the balance of a newly hatched owlet, end up in a job that regularly requires me to juggle.

No, no, and NO.

AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.

AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”

Owning the servers is a core tenet of OTW/AO3.

Warming up a new database server….

elfwreck

When people involved with AO3 talk about “the cost of servers” they don’t mean “the cost to pay Amazon for space on their servers.” They mean, like, the cost to physically own them, and eventually replace them with new ones. And the operating costs to run them.

AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.

While this is not a solution that can work for everyone who wants to deal with controversial content, it is why AO3ple sneer at alt-righters who complain about getting thrown off hosting platforms.

I Want Us to Own the Goddamned Servers

Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can’t be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other.

AO3 is what a website looks like when you seize the means of production.

auxphono

Absolutely!

AO3 was established because of fic being thrown off website hosts, fic being censored and/removed, and fic writers and archivists being sued by IP owners and authors.

The only way AO3 could ever exist without those daily threats is by owning their own servers and domain (and awesome lawyers and everyone else involved).

That is why there are no ads. That is why it is (typically) stable. That is why there are strict tagging rules.

We Can Actually Have Nice Things.

They set out to ensure we could for future generations, and past generations and current generations. They are fighting the good fight, so you don’t have to.

The Organization for Transformative Works (who created AO3) are an actual non-profit organization, not a company.

"on god's green earth" is way too fun to say even when you don't believe in god and know most of it is blue, actually

Look, while I am certainly a proponent of the Greet Every Day with Breathless Wonder school of thought, I think it's also good to sometimes remember that you are a human creature with electrified fat in your skull and you only have so much Breathless Wonder in you. Some days you will be tired and hate everything and some days you will just kind of exist. And if you also end up beating yourself up over having ungratefully wasted the irreplaceable day that'd suck okay. Not being able to find singular beauty and joy in every single goshhecking moment isn't a personal failure. You gotta have like. a baseline. variability of experience. you know. Not everything can glow all the time. It's fine. You're fine.

Although if we're doing breathless wonder I do have home-grown peas.

When I am king, we will valorize sanitation workers the way we currently valorize the military

thegrindingwheel

So heroic posters showing trashmen battling allegorical monsters? I'm down.

draconym

Yeah but that's just the beginning. I also want Sanitation Worker Discounts at every business and blockbuster movie propaganda glorifying sanitation work. I want random people to salute garbage collectors and thank them for their service. I want drivers who get impatient with the recycling truck and honk at it and swerve around it to become social pariahs

#I want this also

Okay I’ve heard plenty of bad news, the GOOD news is the thing rollypollies do when they curl up is called “conglobation”

Braves the Cruel Winds of Fandom Tumblr just to post about how when you think about it, Shan Gudao being just some commoner orphan just makes everything about him more impressive. Like Shan Gudao who was not actually the heir to any ancient magical noble bloodline, who was just some amnesiac street kid, this Shan Gudao was trained by Qi Mushan and Madam Qin and was Li Xiangyi's sparring partner. Sure he couldn't measure up to LXY but it's not like anyone else could! Random beggar kid becomes number two in the wholeass Sigu Sect, high class jianghu badass. Tricks Li Xiangyi that foxiest fox fucks with him for years. Tricks the fox's master. Nobody rando Shan Gudao pulls one over the entire martial world AND imperial court comes thisclose to world domination. So weak and unspecial and ungifted and he fathers Fang Duobing. to quote my babygirl Jack Rackham if this is defeat for me, then know this: you and I were neck and neck in the race right till the end. But Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you.

#mysterious lotus casebook #shan gudao did everything wrong ever #but damn his eyes he compels me

#pet her and kiss her on the head

junemermaid

here's a writing-related hot take for you:

stop chickening out with your similes, metaphors and other associated figures of speech. far too often I see ficcers and even commercial authors do shit like "their eyes were limpid pools of midnight—or some such" and "their breath gusted hot as a furnace. or something".

if you're gonna go hard, then go hard. don't undercut the effect by softening it at the last second.
