Have a read through all the promises 'Santos' Malinauskas will again forget about post-election, just like he "forgot" to fix the Hospital Ramping, his PRIMARY election promise last time around.. 🙄

I just discovered that a "club" I wanted to join was actually "owned" by one of its "members." I've had experience with owned clubs before and that experience was bad. So I'm definitely not going to join this one.
The other organization was totally profit motivated and prevented members from sharing any information about related services unless the member coughed up "sponsorship" money. They also promoted sponsors who offered inferior services, lying in reviews about quality. "Club" #scams.🙄

If you're on AO3, beware: the latest scam is bots pretending to be people who love your work and want to do an illustration for you... but you're expected to pay for it. Once they sucker you into paying, you either get nothing at all or AI "art".
Ironically, I did recently have someone try this who was probably a genuine (albeit very pushy) artist. Even so, the answer was still a firm no. I put a lot of work into my writing and I allow people to read it free of charge, so I'm absolutely not paying for unsolicited embellishments.
