quiet contentment
i would like to do this with you for years and years. sitting quietly in peace as you hem and haw underneath your breath as you draw. let's sit here for many years. i want to be with you.
#quietly sitting with my best friend at work#both of us parallel playing and doing our own thing with men i trust playing in the background#isn't there something inherently wonderful about sitting with someone you love and enjoying their company#it's like coming home after a long day and nothing needs to be said to understand the quiet contentment you feel toward one another#filed under: take your shoes off when you come into my house#typeface: my words#typeface: the blogger#for the stars

LightTree Table Lamp (2 versions) + Spell paper
This is a LightTree table lamp. Hope you enjoy this one! 💗
From unknown source this lamp with a natural tree shape, emits a magical light that will not go out unless you say the magic words. The paper with spell is sold separately - good luck!
(All items are for sale exclusively at the Glimmerbrook Magic Market, but we, the Sell Your Sould for Something Supernatural For-Profit Association, will ship it to your door.) 🟡🌳
Short brief when this post is published: I still have my computer with problems and reinstalling Windows myself, because the problem persists and otherwise I would have to pay about $63 just to factory reset it. Wish me luck! So I'm still a bit disconnected from social media. Thanks for your continuous support and I'm sorry for not being able to be here so much lately. I hope that this week will be the definitive one, because if the factory setting doesn't work the next step will be to change the tower and it would be an extra expense that I don't know if can afford.

PSA: Back up your blog, check your tumblr e-mail for copyright strikes
Hi everyone, after suddenly losing my account with main blog + sideblogs last week, I would like to share the following warning with y'all. Not to scare you even though it is shitty, but to raise awareness. If this somehow results in me getting kicked off the platform again, so be it lol.
If you post anything fandom* related on your tumblr blog**, whether that's gifs, screenshots, videos, cosplay pics or even fics (?), you may risk getting a copyright strike (up to 3 in 18 months) or even immediate account termination. The chance is still rather small, but just know that it can happen.
*I say fandom in the broad term, so blogs that post about movies and series, anime/manga, games, celebrities, models, sports/olympics, etc. and it goes for gif and fic creators too. Not just accounts that post music or videos for example.
**I say tumblr blog, but this goes for all of the internet ofc. People have been getting this problem on any platform, from insta to etsy, youtube and twitter.
Disclaimer: I am no legal expert, just an unlucky blogger who lost her silly multifandom fic blog after 7+ years.
This will be a bit long and detailed so I proceed under the cut!
What can you do?
...To make sure you don't suddenly lose days, months, and years of content:
CHECK THE EMAIL LINKED TO YOUR TUMBLR. I know a lot of people don't do it, myself included. Tumblr does send warnings (though not always). It wouldn't have changed anything for me because I wouldn't want to appeal - since I don't want to go into this "fair use" discussion for just a fic & editing blog. I personally don't know the chances of retrieving your blog if you protest against the claims, so can't say much about that.
Back up your Tumblr blog if you can. Also save your Tumblr chats with people dear to you if you can. Account termination seems to work differently than deactivation. I was still able to see chats with people who deactivated long ago. But my blog that got terminated has vanished from everyone's DMs and ask boxes à la Thanos snap. I mourn my years of Tumblr chat with my best friend. It was not as if we even considered exporting/copying it just for the memories of the start of our friendship. But now that it's entirely gone, hehe, well. It is sad.
Save URLs and masterposts outside Tumblr. After losing your account, for I thiiink about 24-48hrs (I didn't clock, but it was temporary) you will be able to access it at least temporarily through cachedpages, if you have the URL. It doesn't seem to work for everything, but most of my Tumblr posts I could still see shortly through this site, even after I got wiped off the platform. I did this by googling my tumblr username + certain keywords, and the posts would pop up and give me the URL.
...To prevent getting copyright strikes and losing your account?
Probably nothing - but like I said, I'm not the expert, just the fool who lost her account. The termination e-mail will give you a numbered URL so it's not easy to see which post resulted in the account loss, but for me the keywords were:
-
-
Despite the 7+ years of posts, many followers and a lot of memories, I did not gain anything else from this blog and didn't think it was worth the (legal-) risks and effort to try and get it back. It would require filing an objection against the copyright claims with personal info from home address to name, and consenting to USA legal law stuff.
Even if I don't know the exact details, I'm sure they're not wrong, because whether it's fair or not, most fandom stuff has copyright issues in the end, so I can't protest against the claims with 100% certainty it won't get me in real trouble. Besides, I read about similar cases, lost cases, and admitted defeat right away.
They work with manual reports and most dangerously, bots, who seem to be randomly picking unlucky people to take down their posts and possibly the entire account.
So besides putting an entire halt to fic writing, gif making, video editing and other fandom indulgement, or the inconvenient act of censoring every single word and image, I don't think there is a way to entirely prevent getting targeted.
The one that treated me to the strikes leading to account termination was a certain Mr. Green who seems to have targeted mostly people on Etsy. But apparently now also on Tumblr. More about this I can share here for further information. I also share some other links that can inform you about how far the copyright problem can go. Again, no reason to panic. It's rare and I was unlucky. But it happens.
About Mr. Green, using bots all over the internet to take down fandom related material:
Tumblr post about his attack on fandom.
Long detailed doc from an Etsy user.
Insta post about also loss of Etsy account.
Also Etsy related, but same Mr. Green and his bots taking down something only because it used the NAME of an anime character.
Tweet about him and his company not being officially contracted but getting compensated.
About copyright claims on Tumblr - they are still rare, no panic, I just call it russian roulette and these are all unlucky people like me :')
Post by user @/marilynjeansiims about claims against users who post about Sims, including a petition against it.
Post by user @/happyheidi about Moomin posts facing issues.
Post by user @/hanyusan about olympic related claims.
Example by user @/koov about what a vague copyright warning looks like.
Good news, post by user @/yunghos about getting their account back after filing a counter notice. It seems to be possible.
Post by user @/iamkatehardy about getting a strike for using a gif.
Post by user @/stxrshxpxd about getting their acc terminated for no 100% clear reasons.
Post by user @/tekweela about getting terminated mercilessly because of a reblog.
Post by user @/fromanotherroom-revived about losing their account with similar advice as I write here.
Post by user @/ladyphasma about gifs and US law
Knowing this won't bring lost accounts back, or change the law, I do hope at least you can be better prepared just in case it happens... Better prepared than I was at least.

Virtual spaces in a grid
Drawing about theme of virtual space. Such a grid. Which often you can see as a theme for wallpaper. If to surf net. So, it is a typical image, it is connected with aesthetic of retro wave. And everything that is similar, like 8 bit, virtual space, retro wave. And it is now a moment for me to create something like this, image with space made of grid. I was all the time impressed how other can do this.
And this is my drawing about the same theme. Two pictures. One is made in palette with parameters CGA RGB Color OFF, and second is made with palette from Nes 8 bit.
Let’s move to grid CGA. At first. We have here a space. With clouds and stars. It is simply space. Dreams in retro clouds. Flight amongst the clouds. Retro. And not to be lost here - there is a grid here. For navigation in this space. It is more simple space. You can test flight here. Or just walk. There is no gravity here.
And now let’s move to space Nes 8 bit. It is a filed. With chamomile or sunflowers. 8 bit flowers and grass. So here it is going a raining. Which is giving water to little flowers. It is already more made retro 8 bit space. It exists with more length in time. And it is updated with objects. So, here it is gravity. And already plants are growing. Clouds are making a rain. And you can have a walk into this 8 bit field.
Maybe to remember your country house memories. As you play 8 bit Nes videogames at the country house. For example. Or some another system. Watched VHS videotapes. Moment of nostalgia about 80s. 8 bit field is calling you to run here. And get yourself under the rain. And with a fun to run back to your house.
Grass is such green and so familiar, which you can see in the field. Chamomile and sunflowers also are well known for you. Even form of clouds, looks like, is taken from 8 bit games from cartridges. From some kind Adventure Island. But, well, no, not out of this game. Grass will grow. And maybe even birds will fly and a little house to appear.
Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Another good article from The Cut
MEGHAN MARKLE MAR. 13, 2023
Is Meghan Markle Getting Back Into Blogging?
By Claire Lampen, a staff writer for the Cut
After six long years, famed blogger Meghan Markle may finally be resurrecting her defunct lifestyle site, the Tig. Markle pulled the plug on her “passion project” in 2017, shortly before becoming engaged to her partner in crimes of corniness, Prince Harry. But now? Now she may be bringing back her beloved Tig: According to the Mirror and the New York Post, Markle has filed with the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office to launch a “revamped” version of the site — covering “food, cooking, recipes, travel, relationships, fashion, style, interior design, lifestyle, the arts, culture, design, conscious living, health and wellness” — as soon as next week.
A natural next question for you to ask at this juncture would be: What is a Tig? Debuted in 2014, Markle’s Tig took its name from Tignanello, the wine that finally allowed her to “get” wine and thus became her shorthand for the feeling of suddenly understanding something. Thus her site was devoted to “those Tig moments of discovery,” if that makes sense to you, and also to topics like her dog, cooking, fashion, avocado toast, books and her “badass reading list,” personal revelations, self-love — the list goes on. Here’s her 2015 entry on Valentine’s Day, via Cosmo, to give you a feel for the genre:
This Valentine’s Day, I will be with friends, running amock [sic] through the streets of New York, likely imbibing some cocktail that’s oddly pink, and jumping over icy mounds in my new shoes through the salted snowy streets of the West Village. But those shoes, by the way, were my gift to myself. Because I’ve worked hard, because I’m not going to wait for someone to buy me the things I covet (nor do I want to), and because I want to treat myself as well as I treat those dearest to me. Because I am my own funny Valentine.
Before you get too excited about Tig 2.0, I will simply caution you that its author has renewed her trademark on the site in the past (in 2019, for example) not to revive it, but to prevent frauds from posting under her byline. That said, our funny Galentine is in a different position now, having taken her final curtsy as a working royal three years ago. She and Harry preside over a burgeoning entertainment empire, which includes a podcast and books and Netflix docs and a lot of oversharing. No better way to best the media than by becoming the media, so why not add a blog to the roster? Why not feed us informative posts on how to pack up your royal cottage in one fraught weekend after your husband’s estranged family evicts you via email? Why not give us tips about how to host a children’s birthday party that doubles as a “proxy war” in the ongoing beef with your in-laws? Why not tell us how to deal when your husband tells millions of readers around the world about his frozen penis? Live laugh love, girl! Live laugh love.
Meghan didn't mention Chef Cory, her live-in partner, in this blog post.
"This Valentine’s Day, I will be with friends, running amock [sic] through the streets of New York, likely imbibing some cocktail that’s oddly pink, and jumping over icy mounds in my new shoes through the salted snowy streets of the West Village. But those shoes, by the way, were my gift to myself. Because I’ve worked hard, because I’m not going to wait for someone to buy me the things I covet (nor do I want to), and because I want to treat myself as well as I treat those dearest to me. Because I am my own funny Valentine."

How Your Web Hosting Choice Impacts e-Commerce Marketing Success
One of the most important parts of e-commerce is web hosting. The majority of online retailers view it as the foundation or heart of e-commerce. It makes e-commerce more prominent and takes designers to new areas. Today, we'll delve into the specifics of website hosting to learn about its advantages for entrepreneurs.
To give you a head start, all bloggers can thrive in the dynamic atmosphere surrounding the e-commerce web hosting industry. However, it's safe to examine web hosting from a basic standpoint and get a quick rundown of the state of web hosting globally before delving deeply into its advantages.
What is Web hosting for e-commerce Business?
Anyone who hears about e-commerce web hosting will likely want to know what it is and what it involves. Since there isn't a single web hosting option that works for all e-commerce websites, the idea of e-commerce web hosting might be complicated. On the other hand, e-commerce web hosting is the term used to describe a service provided to e-commerce websites by web hosting providers.
To put it simply, web hosting for e-commerce refers to the process whereby a web hosting provider provides a server to an e-commerce website, simplifying the process of storing and managing files on the website. Put differently, a web hosting provider offers servers that you can buy or rent. The server can be used for a number of purposes, including database support, traffic management, product delivery, transaction processing, and optimising consumer security.
What is E-commerce business?
A company that generates revenue through online sales of goods or services is known as an e-commerce business. A business that engages in e-commerce offers a range of goods and services via online channels. These can include digital things like software, eBooks, and online courses, as well as tangible items like apparel, electronics, and home furnishings. E-Commerce businesses may also provide services like digital marketing, event tickets, and trip bookings. A wide range of goods and services are available for purchase and sale online under the umbrella of e-commerce.
Factors that indicate the success of e-commerce marketing impacted by web hosting-
Website Performance- Your website's dependability and speed are essential to the success of e-commerce. Research has indicated that a little one-second lag in page load times can lead to a significant decline in conversion rates. The setup of your best web hosting provider and server performance have a direct impact on how quickly your website loads. Choosing a reputable hosting company may guarantee quick loading times, lower bounce rates, and enhance user experience with sturdy servers and optimised performance.
Uptime and Reliability- For e-commerce companies, downtime may be disastrous since it can result in lost revenue, tarnished reputations, and diminished client loyalty. Maintaining a dependable online presence depends heavily on your best web hosting provider's uptime guarantee. Seek suppliers who guarantee 99.9% uptime or greater in order to reduce the possibility of website failures. Additionally, take into account their customer service responsiveness and disaster recovery plans to ensure prompt resolution of any potential problems.
Security Measures- In e-commerce, security plays a major role in communicating sensitive client data, including payment details. To safeguard your website and client data, your hosting company should implement strong security measures, such as firewalls, malware scanners, SSL certificate encryption, and frequent backups. In addition to undermining your company's credibility, a breach erodes consumer confidence and may have legal effects.
Scalability and Growth Potential- Your hosting requirements will grow along with your e-commerce business. You may store more data, trades, and traffic with the best hosting solution without sacrificing performance. Your hosting company should help you expand, whether that means adding new features or seamlessly updating server capacity. Scalability ensures that your website won't experience any hiccups or slowdowns when dealing with unforeseen traffic surges during promotional events or seasonal peaks.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)- When evaluating websites, search engine algorithms consider factors including mobile friendliness, security, uptime, and speed. Choosing the best web hosting provider has a favourable impact on your SEO efforts, increasing your website's exposure and organic traffic. Conversely, poor search engine rankings can cause frequent failures, slow page loads, or security flaws, which can reduce your website's exposure and clientele.
Customer Experience and Satisfaction- Maintaining a consistent online purchasing experience is essential for client retention and pleasure. Your choice of the best hosting solution directly impacts checkout procedures, general usability, and website navigation. A well-designed website that loads quickly and experiences little downtime enhances user experience, encouraging return visits and building brand loyalty. However, a bad hosting decision can annoy clients, resulting in abandoned carts and unfavourable reviews.
Cost-Effectiveness- Although choosing the cheapest hosting service may seem enticing, it's important to consider the costs and advantages over the long run. Purchasing high-quality hosting may cost more upfront, but it will ultimately save you money by preventing income loss from server outages, hacks, or subpar operations. To determine which hosting plan is appropriate for your e-commerce business, estimate its features, dependability, and scalability.
Reliable Technical Support: Flaws and delays are common in the realm of online shopping. Despite your best efforts to avoid them, there's always a chance they'll happen and interfere with your e-commerce store's regular business operations. You must address these hiccups as soon as possible because they could make your clients unhappy. Technical problem-solving may be different from everyone's taste. To resolve such problems, you want a technical specialist. Nonetheless, you can always rely on your web host to assist you when needed. Make sure the affordable web hosting company you choose will support you in the event of technical difficulties. To address your technological issues, most web hosting providers have a strong technical support staff that is available around the clock.
Large Bandwidth and Storage: You should expect a lot of visitors to your e-commerce site, especially if your digital marketing tactics are effective. To keep customer information and other important details, you will also want a large amount of file space. Searching for external storage does not have to cost extra. A web host will be available for you. With its generous bandwidth and file storage options, the best hosting solution for e-commerce sites will take care of any storage issues.
Easy Cart-Shopping: Using a shopping cart improves and enhances the shopping experience. With a shopping cart, customers may select products they want to buy and then check them out at the register to make the final payment. They will remove the unwanted items from the cart and leave only the necessary items. The majority of e-commerce service providers provide easy-to-use and safe gateways for shopping carts. Make sure the web hosting provider you choose for your e-commerce store has a shopping cart feature for your website.
With Web hosting, the financial Burden Shifts to Someone else: We support e-commerce web hosting because it frees e-merchants from administrative and financial obligations. The web host takes on all of the associated financial costs of running your online store, including security patches, system updates, and system configuration. You redirect the time, funds, and resources you would have liked to employ for self-hosting to other areas of your company.
Web Hosting Comes with Lots of Customizable Features: Early hosted e-commerce platforms needed more flexibility when it came to software as a service (SaaS). That was true at the time, but times have changed drastically since then, and e-commerce web hosting solutions are now incredibly flexible. Customisation with a web hosting firm has the benefit that all coding and development will be handled by the technical professionals of the service provider. However, not all e-commerce web hosting is adaptable and provides customisable options, just as with all the other advantages. If you conducted your homework and selected a flexible one, it would be beneficial. It's crucial to look for e-commerce web hosting companies that work well with e-commerce app developers when looking for solutions for your website. This will guarantee that all technical details, including app development, meet your needs and help your customers have a flawless online shopping experience.
Timely Deployment: Time is of the importance in e-commerce. There is nothing better than web hosting providers' speed-to-market convenience. You can be certain that your e-commerce store will be up and operating quickly when you host it. In other words, web hosting makes your e-commerce websites as quickly accessible to potential clients as possible. If you want to self-host, however, the situation is different because there are expensive delays and downtimes.
You Get to Enjoy the Benefits of Sophisticated Architecture: The benefit of employing a hosting platform for your online business is that all customers have access to its excellent infrastructure. Put differently, having your e-commerce store hosted allows your company to have additional e-commerce features. To unlock the features required for your e-commerce store, all you have to do is work with your hosting provider. Furthermore, the hosting company you use will always be adding new features that you can access with just a click of a button.
Conclusion-
The success of your e-commerce marketing initiatives is greatly influenced by the web hosting service you choose. Every aspect of your online business is highly dependent on the capabilities of your hosting provider, whether it is for assuring peak website performance, strong security measures, smooth scalability, or improved customer experience. When you choose your hosting provider carefully, keeping in mind aspects like security, speed, scalability, and dependability, you create a solid base for your e-commerce company's expansion and the capacity to succeed in the face of intense online competition.

Evelyn 10/7/23
Evelyn and I got dinner together last night to try to help me take my mind off of what's going on in my apartment. She asked me about my program, and I told her I’ve always been really interested in books. How they’re written, the exact choice of words authors use, the hidden meanings you can get to if you keep digging. I think it’s beautiful when people die but live on in their writing.
“Why are you in the pharmacy program?” I asked her.
“I was a biochem student,” she said. “I wasn’t all that certain what to do with that, and my family told me to go into pharmaceuticals.”
“Is that what you want to do, though?”
“It’s not all that awful. I just keep thinking that in a few years, I’ll be making pretty decent money at some CVS.”
“Why not open your own pharmacy? Like the apothecary down the road?”
“Do you know how hard it is to have your own apothecary shop? Big retail stores are driving them all out of business. The only way that that old man is staying in business is because he has natural remedies, and there’s enough broke college students around him that’ll take that over $40 prescriptions for anti-anxiety meds. But once those college students graduate and start making money and move to big cities—they no longer want the snail serums and the crystals. They want Xanax and Prozac.”
“I heard snail serum is good for your skin. They do it in Korea, apparently.”
“Yeah. It is. Really good.”
“There have to be some people who want natural remedies.”
“Well, there are. There’s all the crunchy mommy bloggers who won’t vaccinate their kids.”
“Yikes.”
“And they’re not the type to go to an apothecary shop anyway. An apothecary shop is, like, three degrees too weird for them. They don’t want the frog oil or the fermented worms. They want to rub crystals on their armpits and put an onion on their kid’s foot when they get measles.”
“And you wouldn’t want to serve them anyway.”
“I don’t want their home schooled kids messing up my shop!”
We started walking back to my apartment (I still pay rent and really have nowhere else to stay, so I'm still living there despite the horrors. And at least with Evelyn there, I feel safer). Evelyn held half of a burrito bowl that she was going to save for breakfast the next morning. I was thinking about buying an aloe plant and how much an aloe plant costs and how hard it is to keep an aloe plant alive.
“I also would have no idea how to start a business like that. And apparently if you want to open an apothecary shop, you have to, like, file all this specific paperwork and get rated every year. And if you’re violating these specific laws, you get fined and the fines are big enough to bankrupt your business.”
“That’s balls,” I said.
“It’s so balls! And then there’s so much politics in the independent apothecary game. Best to leave it alone.”
“Damn. Tell me more.”
And she did. We went back to my apartment, and we talked all night. She told me about her older brothers. I told her about my mother. She told me she’s thinking about shaving her head. I told her I’ve wanted to try going vegetarian if I have the money to support the lifestyle.
We went out in the middle of the night to get ice cream from the gas station around the corner, and we ended up buying armfuls of junk food to go with it.
When we got back, she strung up more crystals around my bed. Midterms are soon, she said. Some good crystals help with mental clarity which makes studying much easier. I asked how she knows so much about crystals and candles and stuff, and she didn’t really give an answer. Her mother had a Wiccan phase when she was a kid.
By two in the morning, we were half-asleep and watching Bob’s Burgers. Again on the couch. Again under the same blanket. She rested a fuzzy-socked foot on my leg. I pressed my thigh against hers.
And that’s it. That’s the update this time. No cats or ghosts or weird clawing at my walls. Just Evelyn.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.
Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics.
In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official.
If another blog post is added to a blog, the blogger would then be required to submit monthly reports on the 10th of each month with the appropriate state office. They would not have to submit a report on months when no content is published.
For blog posts that “concern an elected member of the legislature” or “an officer of the executive branch,” monthly reports must disclose the amount of compensation received for the coverage, rounded to the nearest $10 value.
If compensation is paid for a series of posts or for a specific amount of time, the blogger would be required to disclose the total amount to be received, upon publication of the first post in said series or timeframe.
Additional compensation must be disclosed later on.
Failure to file these disclosures or register with state officials, if the bill passes, would lead to daily fines for the bloggers, with a maximum amount per report, not per writer, of $2,500. The per-day fine is $25 per report for each day it’s late.
The bill also requires that bloggers file notices of failure to file a timely report the same way that lobbyists file their disclosures and reports on assessed fines. Fines must be paid within 30 days of payment notice, unless an appeal is filed with the appropriate office. Fine payments must be deposited into the Legislative Lobbyist Registration Trust Fund if it concerns an elected member of the legislature.
For writing about members of the executive branch, fines would be made payable to the Executive Branch Lobby Registration Trust Fund or, if it concerns both groups, the fine may be paid to both related trust funds in equal amounts.
Explicitly, the blogger rule would not apply to newspapers or similar publications, under Brodeur’s proposed legislation.
In additional to the blogger regulations, the bill also removes provisions of state statutes to require judicial notices of sales to be published on publicly accessible websites, and specifies that a government agency can publish legally required advertisements and public notices on county sites if the cost is not paid by or recovered from an individual.
Should the bill pass, it would take effect immediately upon approval.

guysss 300 notes!!! from the bottom to the very tippy top of my heart- thank you thank you thank you!!!!! <3
sappy rant below
wahhhh getting sappy and personal here but i wanted to keep it on my blog regardless if anyone reads it because of how much canis major in particular means to me and what she represents. i wish i had the time and the braincells to write the words i actually want to say so i'll attempt here
in the grand scheme 300 notes might not seem much at all- back in my old fic writing days i had a longfic for another fandom that hit 800k reads, and yeeears'worth of comments and messages daily- but canis major, adlerbell, and the introduction to the cod (cw/bo) fandom in particular is something so special to me that idc if i had 5 notes or 5000 notes. i'm just touched that it's canis major in particular that has gained the attention and enjoyment of lovely lovely people!!
she's the first piece of writing i posted for the first time in years on the internet, but most important to me personally is that she's the first major piece of writing i successfully finished after about a year long 'hiatus' from writing; and i use quotation marks because it wasn't a deliberate hiatus. getting personal here so tw// abuse mention
that 'hiatus' was actually a whole year and a half where i was in an abusive relationship with a narcissist. writing has been my main hobby and my joy since i learned how to pick up a pencil, and yet it was the hateful and insipid treatment of an insecure man that managed to suck the joy out of it for me. he made living a gruelling experience and i felt i couldn't even run to the refuge of writing because apart from the constant stress i was under, if i did end up writing anything, it would only ever be about him and the agony he was putting me through. so i stopped, because even writing had become a torture that he seemingly had control over. a part of myself so intimate that i previously believed he could never take away from me, was.
i left him for good in february of this year, and have grieved and healed a thousand times over- i'm not only a different person entirely but i feel like i've forged a whole new life that he has no claim over. but even then when i wrote, it was either processing that grief and trauma, or they were scattershot ideas that remained unfinished.
then in about october (after i'd filed a police report over his ongoing harassment and abuse lol) i found the cod games and begrudgingly fell in love w a series i had always swore to hate. and then i fell in love with adler and bell and wrote canis major.
after years of leaving every scrap of writing unfinished, i sat and worked through this vague idea as a labour of love- a labour nonetheless, and sometimes i fucking hated it, but i really did put so much heart and care into those measly 2000 words. when i posted it on here i really only thought i'd get like 12 notes at most, and stay in my quiet corner of the fandom lurking on 'better' and bigger bloggers. but i was blessed to have it seen and enjoyed by so many wonderful people, and all of yall who have just been the kindest and most welcoming of any fandom i've ever been in. i can't believe that some vague, hazily executed drabble i wrote could be liked at all let alone loved by some. and as much as i love my other fics too, it always hits harder when people express their enjoyment of canis major in particular, because of what she means to me- she really is my baby lol.
canis major to me isn't just my debut into posting online again, nor do i think she's particularly all that good- but it's proof that i can reclaim the joy i felt my abuser took from me, from my love of writing, as my first piece i finally completed after i left him. i suppose to the average reader these things don't seem connected at all, but to me, after all the pain i experienced, after how many deaths of self i have grieved over and over again this year, and how much i've changed, all i really wanted was to fall back in love with writing again. and canis major is something i'm immensely proud of- not because i believe it's all that good, because, well, i've seen the absolute insane amount of talent this fandom has to offer and i barely hold a candle to any of them- but i'm proud because of what she represents to me; finally putting the stars back in the sky i felt he stole from.
i remember some nights i used to point out the big dipper to him and he would belittle me, one time even pushing me over when i looked up to admire the constellation unaware. canis major, my small little labour of love, is the constellation i can admire at all times of the day, that i put there, that he can never take from me. that is wholly my own.
yeah i'm a total sap and i'm cringe and it's just a stupid cod fanfic but idgaf she is my baby and nobody knows what an achievement she is for me >.<
my goal this year after i left and worked through my healing was only just to write again- i never imagined i'd post anything, gain any sort of recognition whatsoever, and certainly never thought i could hit anywhere near to this many notes on something i wrote as an expression of love and ghosts and delayed grief.
tldr; from the bottom of my heart- thank you!!!
canis major
adler x bell!reader
summary: adler doesn’t go back to berlin to forget, but he isn’t so eager to remember, either. after leaving you for dead on that clifftop in the arctic, he knows best to leave the past well alone. too bad that past seems to be alive and walking right in front of him; though where he wants to forget, it seems you’ve already beaten him to the punch. or; bell survives solovetsky and only has a hole in her head and amnesia to show for it. read on ao3
tags/cw: bell!reader, amnesia, light angst, referenced adlerbell, somehow bell survives the ending of cw, adler can't let shit go, adler is not capable of remorse but mayyybe a lil guilt?? dog symbolism always, no pairing yet but hopefully i continue this as a spicy drabble series idk wc: 2.7k
a/n: sooo this is my first fic for the cod fandom and the first fic i've posted online in a long time so hopefully this lil ramble suffices!! i've had adlerbell brainrot and wanted to get at least something out before bo6 ruins all of my headcanons so here's a snippet of something i hopefully find the motivation to continue into a mini series. enjoy :')
Sometimes, he goes back to Berlin.
Stumbling out of the muggy bar into the dank alleyway out the back, Adler fishes out a pack of cigarettes from the front of his jacket; two firm knocks of it against his palm before he plucks one out with his mouth, pockets the box, and flips open his lighter. The clink of the metal echoes into the empty around him, the sudden quiet suffused with the sounds of passing cars on the street, muffled laughter from inside the bar, and the distant barking of dogs. Strays.
The cigarette ignites, glowing a cherry red, and he gasps around the filter greedily. Upon exhale, he sighs.
Adler isn’t a sentimental man by any means. What little he clings to, he does so with a loose grip, less than happy but stolid enough to allow whatever else he deems unnecessary slip through his fingers. Places, people. Things. Memories. Tucks the important things- logic, rationality, work, duty- into orderly compartments at the forefront of his mind, archived and marked off ‘til he needs it, while the rest, the mess, gets done away with, thrown into the great black gorge of oblivion. Anything else that stays- more often than not a thorn in his side, an unbidden, wriggling tumour he can’t find let alone cut out- is sequestered to a dark aperture in the back of his mind, anchored deep where it can’t come back up. Yet somehow, some nights, they always do. The smell of his ex-wife’s hair. The day he got his scar. Vietnam. The lab. Solovetsky—
The next word, the name, forks across his mind like lightning, and he bites his tongue before he can think it. It sits at the back of his mouth, nestled like an aching cavity in his molars. A tremulous breath that he forces down with another drag of his cigarette. Out with the rest. Out with the rest.
The barking doesn’t cease. Dogs, a pair of them, he can hear a couple streets over. He pictures them from the gravelly register of their snarling- maybe German Shepherds, a Bullmastiff or a Rottweiler. Their fight enunciated by the violent rattling of chain-link fences, segregated, the only threshold that keeps teeth from necks.
But no, not a sentimental man. He tells himself that the itch to revisit Berlin every Summer is for superficial reasons, and by no means is renting out a shithole hotel room opposite a sewer-laden river considered a vacation from anything other than the luxuries he gorges himself mindlessly on at home- maybe this is to keep him humble, more than anything. It doesn’t do well to remind himself of old times, not when he’s lived the life he has. Remembering seldom accompanies itself with the bittersweetness of reminiscence, and the taste it leaves in his mouth is always acrid. He doesn’t miss Berlin any more than he misses that dismal safehouse, or that sterile room he wheeled you into, questioned- tortured- no, interrogated- well, he doesn’t care to remind himself of the picture. Or the person he strapped to the gurney. But he catches himself thinking back to the city divided more than he likes to admit, and for whatever ostensible reason it is that drags him back here, he relents to it every time.
He tells himself it’s the weather, the cool rain a nice reprieve from the scorching California heat. Or that the food is better, not so much overprocessed shit and sugars. Can take his coffee as black as he likes without the waitress turning her nose up about it and double-triple-checking if he’s sure. And it’s the people, maybe, who leave him well enough alone. Or the drinks. The views, some places. The- air.
Not like Arctic air. Not like—
The one dog’s snarl rips bloodcurdling through the night, all froth and venom, and as the chain-link fence screeches and judders in its rusted welding the other mutt quiets a moment. Cowers under the meaner dog’s ferocity. Then, like it had been wounded, it lets out a low, anguished howl, beast reduced to a scared little pup. Adler holds the smoke in his chest around a stifled breath anticipating a release. But the first dog just grumbles, the fence clinks, and there isn’t much noise after that.
But the quiet doesn’t last long- just as Adler drops his cigarette and snuffs it with a wrench of his heel, another sound resonates, yowling through the alley.
The grinding of tires upon wet asphalt crunches from just beyond the alleyway entrance. The streetlamp overhanging the entryway glares bright yellow as it bounces off of the garishly coloured taxi cab, pulling up to a groaning halt outside the bar.
He thinks nothing of it, pulling at the collar of his leather jacket. It’s getting cold, and he’s left his drink inside. Wouldn’t want to waste good beer. Adler turns, and makes for the door.
And you step out of the car.
A half-finished cigarette bounces on the sidewalk before you exit, the softened heel of your boot following soon after in a splash upon the flooded curb. Your German is rusty- always has been- but it’s easy enough to utter a quick and easy danke as you pull yourself up out of the cab. The door shuts with a slam, and you tilt your head back to gaze up at the sign above the bar- Der Fluss Lethe glaring in faded lightbox red- and you let out a contented sigh, your breath suspended in the frigid air. Pink, bitten fingers pluck at your gloves, fingerless faded green knit, shovelling them into your jacket pocket.
Adler’s fist is already curled around the handle of the back door as he clocks your presence in his periphery, a stranger like any other- but your image resembles the one that coagulates in the borders of old memory, the dried blood of you he hasn’t been able to wash his hands of since ‘81. Enough that he does a double take, his eyes wide behind tinted glasses, and he stops, his heart following suit.
He’s seen enough bodies in his time to fill the morgue in his mind twice over, and plenty ghosts to wander coldly among the unmarked graves. Vietnam alone is an unwinding cemetery stretching endless, catacombs along the inside of his skull, lined with what his old shrink would call remorse. Guilt. As if the feeling mattered. As if self-reproach could turn self-flagellation into something so incandescent as redemption. As if the bile in the back of his throat could bring back the dead.
And it couldn’t, because it isn’t… that’s not—
Bell.
It’s in the way you stand, your back rigid, that slight slouch to your shoulders, always dragged down upon you like they bore the weight of the whole world (and they did, once, do you remember?). The pelting of rain smacks off of the lapels of your jacket and ricochets like stars, caught in the light of the streetlamp overhead, but for all he knows or cares it could be raining diamond and all he sees is you- the wrinkling of your nose as you accommodate to the cold, how your cheeks flush at the chill (as they had those nights he pulled you into the darkroom, evidence of your apprehension drowned in the red glow of safelights); your hair is longer, unkempt, but still that same colour (clumps he’d find in his clenched fist when you’d argue yourselves into a wrestling match, pinning each other by the throats to dented walls in Die Landebahn); that scar upon your brow; that wavering line of your lip, pursed and hiding behind your reticence as you always did, and your eyes- your eyes—
—you feel someone watching—
—your eyes turn, and fix upon him with the startled softness of a doe, hunter betrayed by the snapping of a branch underfoot. Adler’s heel crunches against broken glass, his hand lingering right in that threadbare threshold upon the doorhandle, and he can’t speak, can’t move, can’t think—
Open the door, Bell, open the door—
—and you stop outside the cab, your breath caught in your throat. You see a shadow in the alley, in the shape of a man.
The darkness of the alley gives enough cover that you don’t see much, but what you do make out of the man prickles at a part of your mind long dormant: the haughtily broad set of the shoulders; the halo of blond tinted red just beneath the flickering exit light above the door where he stands; the shadow of a strong, clenched jaw; and in the brief glinting of passing headlights as cars rush on behind you, you see a face half gorged by a thick, forked scar, a fissure struck down his furrowed expression. A pair of dark aviator glasses hide those eyes that you know are looking at you, reflecting back nothing but your own bewilderment.
There is something you know. Deep inside that half rotted head of yours, where an incomplete recollection of your existence before you awoke bleeding on that clifftop lies, you feel a twinge of recognition. Familiarity. Something. Something stirring deep in your marrow- a fear inherited, a conditioned surrender, a faded polaroid, a kiss? Your migraine, chronic, comes clawing back with a vengeance, as it does most nights, but this time with a savage fervour that wrenches your face into an involuntary grimace. Where the hole in your head had once been all those years ago it tickles and burns, burrowing into your brain and groping greedy fingers along remnants of memory. It claws at you, digging through your amygdala to find something fresh, something old, something palpable, real, something- anything. Searching what little remains visible to you in the thick fog of your own mind to pin a meaning to this feeling, an answer to your question, a name to that face.
You’ve seen him before. You swear. Somewhere. In a dream, reoccurring, behind a red door. You don’t know how, or why you’d think you recognise him- in those dreams, the door never even opens. Your hand ever stuck on the handle, jammed and impenetrable, what sits behind it forbidden to you. Like not even your own mind wants you to know. It confines you to your ignorance, almost blissful.
Adler’s heart kicks violently in his chest. He shot you. He killed you. He’d heard your death rattle on that clifftop in Solovetsky and the sound was almost like singing, your last word, your last breath. A miserere for your short and fractured life. And he’s looking at your ghost, standing there all owl-eyed and as beautiful as the day he found you bleeding out on that airstrip. Before he took you. Before he took you and collared you and made a damned mess of things.
The only thing separating you from the Bell he knows he killed- his Bell- is the star-shaped scar split across your left temple. The only wound he never had to sit and heal as he belligerently patched you up, poking and preening you like his prize dog. Yet in spite of never seeing it before, he recognises the wound all too well. He put it there himself.
And as you stand there for that brief moment- no more than twelve seconds stretched to an eternity- he thinks for a moment that you’ve put it together. You recognise him. You see him. As he is. You’ve figured him out, Bell, as you always do. You’re the only one to have gotten away with it, nearly. Or so he thought. And now he’s watching a corpse having dug itself out of the grave he put it in, standing there, staring at him. Suppose you’ve always been a dead man walking.
You could do it, he thinks. Turn. Fling your heel round and barrel towards him with all the enmity of a cornered animal. He thinks of the strays, barking. Can picture your mouth frothing at the sides as you sink your teeth down into him- gnarled canines, hooked to your chain-link fence- which he probably deserves. Not an unfamiliar feeling by any stretch, but one faraway enough to seem almost sweet now through the hazy lens of nostalgia. If there truly is a sentimental bone in his body after all, then maybe it’s just for that. Still, he holds his breath, awaiting the killing blow he’s surely due. But it never comes.
You release your held breath, finally, tearing your eyes away from the callous faced stranger. It’s a ridiculous notion. Just an uncanny instance of déjà vu. You don’t know that man any more than you know yourself. You settle on a more rational answer- just one of those faces. And with a disgruntled sigh you rub the scar upon your temple to soothe the ache, turn around, and enter the bar alone.
Adler sighs, his heart sinking from up high in his throat back down to his chest. His hand has latched onto the doorhandle for so long it’s gone numb from the cold, bruised knuckles bluer than they were before (bar fights- not here, but another, as there will always be). He wrestles his jaw pensively, knowing he ought to take it off, keep the door closed, turn away, and leave. Slink back, tail between his legs, to that shithole hotel room to drink himself into a stupor. Let you haunt him there, instead. As you always have.
But he doesn’t. He has no idea what idiocy compels him, what soft, dewy-eyed weak link in him snags on that chain, to willingly wander back into the viper den of reminiscence, but he wrenches his fist around the handle, pushes, and lets himself back into the bar, the thick, hot air hitting him like a drug that he breathes in, tart and sour with the cloy of sweat and alcohol but still faintly- just faintly- of you. Like rain carried along the wind.
And Russell Adler is not a sentimental man.
But from across the bar he hides behind his beer glass, watches as you move about, a phantom, weaving through the faceless mass of people celebrating a championship he cares nothing to follow. You take your order at the bar with a smile he’s never seen on you before, boots folded to tip-toes as you lean over the liquor-stickied top, your perfect mouth pink and sweet and laughing and alive. The world seems to move about you in a haze, an indistinct mist of blurred faces and bottled voices and beyond all the light and life and joy that seems to burn bright around you like a halo all he sees is you.
Maybe, then, he’s a fool.
But it isn’t lost on him, how your fingers skirt across your hair in an attempt to hide the scar upon your temple. Nor is it lost on him how you wince at the feeling, the stars in your eyes dimmed for just a split second as you shiver, like a touch imperceptible running fingers down your back. Nor even the way you fight the urge to look, to follow the feeling of his eyes fixed upon you, and surely not the way you lose that fight, surrendered to it, your sweet face turning and finding him in an instant. Without so much as trying, like instinct, like something as pathetic and saccharine as fate. Your heart called to it, a lighthouse in the fog. Port in the storm. Ships passing in the night but called crashing to the same shore.
(The pieces of you are scattered everywhere, Bell. He finds you in every split seam inside himself. Splintered shrapnel dug through his temporal lobe, severing synapses ‘til they go dark. Even stars die quicker than that. Quicker than you. Is that what it felt like for you, too? When the lights went out, was it him you last saw- or the sky, waxen, over the Arctic? A waning night, a distant moon. The inconsequence of death- brief celestial ephemera.)
The stranger across the bar looks at you, offering nary a smile, eyes indiscernible behind shadowed sunglasses. And where you ought to find his apparent coldness disconcerting, instead you wring out of your chest with a white-knuckled caress a feeling like… comfort.
Sometimes, Bell, you go back to Berlin. You don’t quite know why.
#wahhh sorry im such a sap#also extensive georgia lore drop that literally 0 people asked for or care about#but idgaf this is my blog and my personal achievements mean as much as the silly writing ones#so#anyway thank you everyone who read liked and reblogged!!!!!#georgia rambles

They look at you, they judge you, they discriminate against you. From a planet far away from Sixam, called Lerighett, reside these tree-headed beings with eyes. They're said to be of many varieties and species, though residents of the hidden lands of Heyadee are one of the most frowned upon for being so perceptive and judgmental.

The way DMCA ("Digital Millenium Copyright Act") takedowns work under U.S. law is that you have to submit some contact info along with your complaint. And then a full copy of that complaint — including your contact info — is sent to the person you're complaining about. Because theoretically they might need that information to contact you if there's a lawsuit.
The DMCA law is actually a little vague about how much contact information a website needs to move forward with a DMCA takedown. As far as I can tell, Google only makes you give them an email address...if you're submitting a complaint about content on Blogger. But if the infringing content is on YouTube, they require a full legal name and a physical address.
It's very easy for large corporations to submit DMCA takedowns. They have a legal corporation name and corporate offices with public addresses. Or they pay for a legal representative and that person's law firm uses the address of their legal office. But for a random freelance journalist? They might not want to give their personal address to a stranger, and they might not have the money to pay for a legal representative. And what if you're just a blogger using a pseudonym? You reeeeally don't want to hand your full legal name to somebody who thinks it's fine to steal from you. They're probably not very motivated to keep that information private.
That part of hbomberguy's video where he says he's dealt with content theft and he "nearly had to give a Nazi my home address"? The DMCA process is almost certainly what he's referencing.
I'm aware of the issues here because a few years ago I was thinking about starting a nonprofit to help indie creators file takedowns without having to doxx themselves. That was about art theft on twitter, but it has exactly the same problem:
Yeah.
Part of the reason sites do this is to cut down on frivolous requests, but mostly the result is that corporations who already have money and power make a ton of frivolous requests while indie creators get shafted.

Top SEO Tips for Your Small Tea Business - Basketleaf
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is essential for small businesses, especially when operating with a best business under ₹1 lakh. By optimizing your tea business website, you can drive organic traffic, attract customers, and build brand awareness—all without spending heavily on paid advertising. Here are the top SEO strategies to help you rank higher and reach more tea lovers.
1. Use Relevant Keywords Strategically
Keywords are the foundation of any SEO strategy. Focus on finding keywords that are directly related to your products and unique selling points.
Focus on Long-Tail Keywords: Use specific phrases like “best tea blends under ₹1 lakh,” “affordable organic tea,” or “herbal tea for relaxation” to attract high-quality traffic.
Place Keywords Naturally: Include these keywords in product descriptions, blog content, and page titles, but avoid keyword stuffing.
Use Local Keywords: If your business targets a specific region, include local terms like “buy tea in [City Name]” to appeal to nearby customers.
2. Optimize Your Website's On-Page Elements
On-page SEO elements are essential for helping search engines understand your content and for creating a positive user experience.
Craft Compelling Title Tags and Meta Descriptions: Each page should have a unique title tag (up to 60 characters) and meta description (up to 160 characters) that includes your main keyword and conveys value to users.
Use Header Tags Effectively: Break up your content with headers (H1, H2, H3 tags) that include relevant keywords, making it easier to read and boosting SEO.
Optimize Image Alt Text: Include keywords in image descriptions to help search engines understand what’s on the page and boost your chances of appearing in image search results.
3. Create High-Quality, Informative Content
Content marketing is one of the best ways to drive traffic organically. Providing valuable information positions your tea brand as an expert and keeps potential customers engaged.
Start a Tea Blog: Write about topics like “Health Benefits of Herbal Tea” or “How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea.” Each blog post helps target specific keywords and educates your audience.
Answer Common Customer Questions: Address questions like “What’s the difference between green tea and black tea?” or “How to choose the best tea for relaxation?” This can help you rank for popular searches.
Update Content Regularly: Refresh your older blog posts and product descriptions to keep them relevant, which helps maintain SEO rankings over time.
4. Improve Site Speed and Mobile Responsiveness
Page speed and mobile usability are critical ranking factors. If your website is slow or difficult to navigate on mobile, it can affect both user experience and SEO.
Optimize Images: Compress image files to reduce load times without sacrificing quality.
Use a Responsive Design: Ensure your website looks and functions well on mobile devices, as a significant portion of searches come from mobile users.
Minimize Page Elements: Remove any unnecessary plugins or scripts that may slow down your site.
5. Leverage Local SEO for Targeted Visibility
If your tea business operates locally or sells at specific markets or events, local SEO can attract nearby customers.
Create a Google My Business Profile: List your tea business on Google My Business, ensuring your address, contact details, and website link are up-to-date.
Encourage Customer Reviews: Positive reviews improve your credibility and can boost your local search rankings.
Use Location-Specific Keywords: Incorporate terms like “organic tea in [City]” or “local tea shops near me” into your content to appeal to nearby customers.
6. Build Backlinks to Establish Authority
Backlinks from reputable websites show search engines that your site is trustworthy and relevant.
Collaborate with Influencers: Partner with tea bloggers or health influencers who can link back to your site in their content.
Submit Guest Blogs: Write articles for other websites in related niches and include a link back to your tea business.
Get Listed in Local Directories: Ensure your business is listed in local business directories, as these backlinks can improve your local SEO.
7. Optimize for Voice Search
Voice searches are on the rise, especially for local businesses, so it's wise to optimize for conversational keywords and phrases.
Use Natural Language: Write content in a conversational tone, as voice searches often use full sentences or questions.
Answer Common Questions: Include FAQ sections on your product pages and blog posts to help capture voice search traffic.
Target Long-Tail Keywords: Voice search queries are usually longer, so focus on phrases like “where can I buy organic tea online?” or “what is the best tea for stress relief?”
8. Utilize Social Media to Drive Traffic and Engagement
While social media signals don’t directly impact SEO rankings, a strong social presence can drive traffic to your site, improve engagement, and boost brand awareness.
Share Blog Posts and Product Pages: Post links to new content on social media to encourage visits and shares.
Engage with Followers: Respond to comments and questions to build a community around your brand.
Encourage Social Sharing: Include social sharing buttons on your blog posts and product pages to make it easy for visitors to share your content.
9. Use Structured Data for Rich Snippets
Structured data, or schema markup, helps search engines understand the content on your site and can increase your chances of appearing in rich snippets.
Add Schema Markup for Products: This can display additional information like ratings, prices, and availability directly in search results, increasing click-through rates.
Use Recipe Schema for Tea Recipes: If you share tea recipes, apply recipe schema to increase the chances of getting featured in search results.
Add Local Business Schema: If you have a physical location, include local business schema to help search engines show your business in local search results
10. Monitor and Adjust Your SEO Strategy
SEO is an ongoing process, so it’s important to track your results and make adjustments as needed.
Use Google Analytics: Monitor traffic, bounce rates, and the performance of specific pages to understand what’s working.
Track Keyword Rankings: Use a tool like Google Search Console to see how your keywords are ranking and make adjustments to improve.
Stay Updated on SEO Trends: SEO practices evolve, so keep learning about updates to algorithms and new strategies to maintain your site’s visibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How long does it take for SEO to show results for my tea business?It usually takes 3-6 months to see significant results from SEO, but this can vary based on competition, keyword choice, and your site’s initial SEO health.
Q2: Can I do SEO myself, or should I hire an expert?If you have the time to learn, you can handle basic SEO yourself, especially with a smaller budget. However, if budget allows, hiring an expert can expedite results and ensure more advanced tactics are implemented.
Q3: How often should I update my website’s SEO?SEO is an ongoing process. Aim to review and adjust your strategy every few months, and keep an eye on algorithm changes and your performance metrics.
Conclusion
Optimizing your tea business website for SEO helps you attract organic traffic without a large budget. By focusing on keywords, creating valuable content, improving site speed, and leveraging local SEO, you can increase your visibility and drive more traffic to your store. With consistent effort and by monitoring your progress, you can successfully grow yourbest business under ₹1 lakh.
