ProWritingAid trying to censor me...

It thinks I should change "shit" to "stuff". Like fuck no. I can curse if I want to.

If this is actually kobo, I'm kind of fascinated that I'm one of the top 42 people they decided to follow on here...

“And now all we can do is wait.” Scottie was now doing something intentional with his gaze, though Van couldn’t quite figure out what. “Well, I suppose we could try to barricade the door more. Or do something to temporarily disable the plant.” Scottie scoffed and rolled his eyes. “My God, Van, you can be so dense.” He lifted his other arm, slapping the object into Van’s hand. “I’m trying to seduce you.” Van’s brain stuttered to a halt, and he looked down, seeing the object Scottie had put there. It was a tube of something. Made him think of a lotion container. He lifted it, trying to make out the wording, but Scottie beat him to it. “It’s lube, dumbass. I want you to fuck my brains out.”

Just posted a new chapter of Matched to the Alien King.

Lettie is still grappling with the reality of her match being a prince (and future king) but she's about to get the answers she needs to make a decision.

Once and for all.

Yet he couldn’t help frowning at seeing that none of the messages were from Beliya. She hadn’t gotten back to him. So he picked up the phone, deciding to try again. He dialed, waiting patiently. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Annoyance bubbled up inside him, consuming him the longer he waited on the line. Finally, he slammed the phone down on the desktop, but then he realized what he was doing and quickly brushed the feeling off. He had no right to be angry at her. She hadn’t caused this problem. He had. He was the one who should have done this earlier, like months earlier. It was his own damned fault that he hadn’t given himself time, which meant that it now felt unbearably urgent that he got in touch with her and officially ended things. Honestly, I should have done this years ago. That would have been the smart thing, the right thing. By not doing it, he’d been stringing Beliya along, giving her false hope that maybe someday he would come around and marry her. It was never going to happen, though.

But it was an Australian antiporn group, Collective Shout, that launched the campaign at payment processors that likely caused this. They claimed responsibility for the new steam rules.

They also targeted itch.io

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
On July 7, Collective Shout shared an update to its No Mercy Change.org campaign calling on supports to email payment processors (including PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover) to demand that they "cut ties with Steam and itch.io"

So are they saving a little bit on taxes to just lose their health care, which could cost them more than their total SSA payments to go private?

Not sure the details, just that everyone is worried about health care right now with Medicare and such being gutted, so makes me wonder.
