TL;DR: someone managed to add a stolen credit card and shipping information to my #microsoft account, ordered $160 worth of digital xbox gift cards, and redeemed those cards this morning.
There are no suspicious logins on my account, and I have verification and 2FA turned on.
Microsoft not only does not care, they also claim that any unauthorized activity on a user's account is the user's responsibility.
So that's fun.

My kid wants to be a novelist. She's working on her first long book project this summer; about 20k words in and it's a fun story, but she seems to have hit a wall.
I'm hoping to find resources and guidance meant to help kids plan and finish a first book. If you know of anything that might be useful for a 10 yo, brilliant-but-scattered budding author, I'd be grateful for a tip.
lord knows her parents are not equipped to help.
Thank you!!!

Happy to have solved the problem of the school bus driver honking at us every morning.
It's been a week, and not a single honk.

The kid's grown six inches in two years and still isn't tall enough to be seen over the hood of these ridiculous death machines prowling our neighborhood streets.
