Heated Rivalry is a closed door hockey romance in the sense that they fade to black on the hockey. The sex is explicit, but the hockey is implied.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He—wait. Why dost the Lord hath clippers.

[biglawbear]

The Lord sheareth me.

interacting with the cool mutual while full of fear and anxiety

[ratsetflummi]

one trick to learn (and this is easier when you're older) is that absolutely no one is cool. there is no such thing as a cool person. anyone you think is cool is just anxious about things you haven't learned about them yet

Picking women's outfits apart and saying they are dressed for the "male gaze" vs "female gaze" is just the modern day equivalent of calling women "Jackies" or "Marilyns"

it’s been talked about a million times but way too many books now have a problem with telling and not showing. a character in the book i’m reading rn said “my therapist says my anorexia and drug use is my way of gaining control” girl i don’t want to hear that i want to see you starving yourself and snorting coke every time something goes wrong

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

This is just another form of censorship, control of what we can/can't see and engage with, and another means of getting our private information.

Alternative forks of AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) which are not maintained by Google and will not be affected by this:

LineageOS (I use this one)

Graphene OS

Functionally they are virtually identical to stock Android. Android began as an open-source project, and these versions are built off of that.

Fuck Google.

[mordcore]

[amiibo-king]

for those like me who cannot install alternative android forks on their phone because the phone in question is thoroughly unrootable, I would recommend downloading anyapk on your phone while you still can. In their own words:

anyapk is a lightweight Android application installer that bypasses Google's developer verification requirements by using local ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connections. Smoothly install any APK file on your device without restrictions, gatekeepers, or corporate approval.

If you're reading this after Google's lockdown date and are unable to install anyapk the regular way, there is a method outlined on the github linked above which tells you how to install anyapk on your phone by plugging it into a computer with ADB installed on it. Once you have anyapk on your phone, you will not have to do that ever again (unless you delete anyapk off your phone)

Whew, we’ve been busy! Hot on the heels of list view for everyone, we’ve added four new Writing Insights for Ellipsus Plus!

Take a closer look at your docs with:

Repeated phrases: Find the multi-word phrases that recur throughout your draft. (For phrases containing up to six words.)

Dialogue balance: Calculate how much of your writing is dialogue vs. narration (and see the difference via the dialogue highlight toggle).

Point of view: See how many sentences are written from each perspective (and make extra-sure you didn’t accidentally switch halfway through!). First, second or third - you can highlight them all in your text.

Punctuation habits: See how often you use ✨expressive✨ punctuation marks per 1,000 words?!!!?!! (Yes!)

(And all without AI, of course!)

Get down ‘n’ dirty with your style (and the choices that make your voice yours, all yours). We wish you luck wrangling those phrases that jumpscare you when you discover you’ve used them 13 times in the same draft!

More to come soon! - the Ellipsus Team xo

I don't know how it will look with a male protagonist, but I hope otherwise. It is necessary for gentle lesbians to have their own unique moments of holding hands.

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-
