Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books that I try to update regularly
Once in a blue moon type of writer here haha
Doesn’t matter if you write in a frequent basis, or once in a blue moon, just how many of us are there?
I’ll support this as well!
Hi everyone! We are the Voltage Organized Workers!
The writers of Lovestruck have come together to unanimously demand better working conditions, greater transparency, and increased protections. To that end, we asked the management of Voltage USA to recognize us and meet our demands - and since management has refused, we will be going on strike.
All of the Lovestruck writers are members of marginalized genders and/or sexualities. We have been given an invaluable foot in the door to the industry and a platform to tell stories that represent our voices, our passion, and our experiences. We are also all fans of the app, and we care deeply about the stories we tell.
However, not only are we paid less than half the industry standard rate, we are asked to meet extremely tight deadlines and produce enormous amounts of content without protections or benefits.
We want to see our hard work and commitment to authentic storytelling given the value it deserves.
Want to help us? Well first off–thanks!
The best thing you can do is send messages to Lovestruck contact asking them to recognize us.
All our fans are important to us. You’re the people supporting us, and we hope that you will help us improve our situation. We know that you have your own concerns, and we’re confident that this move will help to address those as well.
While our strike won’t immediately affect content in the app, it will certainly delay stories that you’re eager to see. There is a contact field on the Voltage website, and the more they hear from fans, the more likely they are to want to talk to us.
Above all, please do NOT boycott the game. We’re counting on you still being there and reading the stories you love.
Please also do not send anyone any harassment, on our behalf or otherwise. We do not condone such behavior. Keep your messages respectful. At the end of the day, the people you’re messaging are still our coworkers, and we want to get back to work as quickly as possible.
Message us with questions here or on any of the social media accounts listed below!
(Just bear in mind that there are some questions we can’t answer without breaking our NDAs.)
We’re hoping to have good news for you within a few days, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated of any developments.
<3

That one moment when I try to start another route and just end up rereading Yvette’s route instead. I think I need help.
Hey y'all.
You know me, you know I hate asking for help, but I have to, I really do. So I’m linking my Ko-Fi for donations AND commissions if you’d like to take advantage of either. I offer a few different things, not just my pet portraits, so check it out yea?
My heart is fucked up, unfortunately. Not quite sure the extent of the problem just yet, but I’m definitely not in a great spot. I still need to wear a device to monitor my heart for a while so the doc can assess fully, I’ll need a blood pressure monitor to have at home, and I’ll likely need a sleep study. I’ll also be starting beta blockers. So…it’s a lot to take in right now. And on top of that, Amber and I just got info in the mail that our base rent is going up $158, the new lease terms force us into a bundle deal with Spectrum, and they added a bunch of services on top of those costs that we don’t need but Have to pay for. We’re already kinda struggling due to my lack of income, and I just lost my only source of any money, my plasma. Can’t donate with heart issues, go figure. So anyway. You got a pamphlet, poster, sticker, pet portrait, twitch assets, anything? you want me to do. I’m happy to take on any projects. Even if you don’t need anything, if you could share and signal boost this around and all that? I’d appreciate it.
I live for puns
