SO for reasons
I'm canvassing for some book comp titles for a project I'm working on which contains:
* high fantasy princess-in-a-tower m/f romance; distinct from other princess-in-a-tower stuff I have already written
* overt spicy on-page "yes-mistress" femdom
is there anything similar out there?

What do you propose? All the major card companies have been quietly controlling who can even bank for decades. Stripe is doing the same stuff as paypal. Paypal owns venmo.
It's very easy to say "don't do thing" except that nothing else is any better.

Also, just don't use PayPal. Crappy company, crapy service as well as the ethical nastiness.

We will need tribunals and Democrats need to start talking about that
A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Does anyone else feel like stress, financial pressure, and political strife have shortened your life? Not in a "I'm going to die sooner" way, but in a "I can only plan to survive a week at a time and there is no future to look forward to" sort of way. It's like...the PERCEPTION of life is shorter.

Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.
