If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It's far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.
Mind you, I've never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don't understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they're data mining me.

Better Read Than Dead
Some have suggested your obsession with literature is unhealthy. They are wrong. +2 to medicine and arcana checks. Disadvantage to saving throws involving offers of knowledge acquisition.
I'm Fine, Really
You've grown used to living rough. Your daily ration requirements are halved. Advantage on survival checks.
My Bones!
Longstanding injuries have left you susceptible to extreme temperatures and extended periods of movement. +25% damage from fire and ice. +1 Exhaustion for every 4 miles traversed on foot without rest, as well as every hour spent exposed to extreme cold.
Third Eye Blind
Years of living on the outskirts of society have granted you the ability to perceive clearly what others do not. Sometimes, those revelations are even true.
Instead of rolling during perception and insight checks, the DM flips a hidden coin. If the result is tails, the player passes the check successfully. If the result is heads, the player receives false information about which they are extremely convinced.
(ex., an empty room is described to be littered with invisible traps, a trustworthy NPC is "obviously" traitorous, a terrifying dragon lurks down a hallway it cannot possibly fit into)
Animal Companion: Soft kitty. Swift, pointy, and unquestioningly devoted. Entreaties to stop making noise and go away only encourage her. -2 to stealth.
I think for me, the most painful experience is a tie -- one instance was Appendicitis (which was horrible) and the other instance was having one of our children without an epidural.
Testicular torsion. It felt like I was being kicked in the balls every time my heart beat. It was my senior year of college and I was home for the weekend, but my parents were gone and I didn't think I could drive myself to the hospital. Luckily my uncle was around to take me. I dry heaved out the passenger window the entire drive there.
I had barely gotten into the room when the doctor came in and helped me strip down, then proceeded to do what he called the "open book maneuver", wherein he rotated my testicles to remove the twist. The relief was instantaneous, like my balls had been released from a vice grip. Luckily no permanent damage was done, but an ultrasound confirmed that I'd need surgery to prevent future torsions, which I had during spring break... yay.
It took me 4 different urologists to properly diagnose this. I had it for YEARS. Every single time it happened I thought I was going to die. The only thing I could do was lay down on a hard flat surface (usually the floor wherever I happened to be at that time) and just let it pass with lots of heavy breathing and silent crying. I basically was immobile, couldn't even move without getting super light headed and felt like passing out.
Once I finally found a dr that properly diagnosed it, he taught me the open book trick and MY GOD what a difference. He is also the same one that did the surgery, and it's been many years now without an instance. Life changing.
Aftermath of a seizure and car accident. First caused the second within seconds. The seizure pulled every muscle I had and some I didn't even know I had. The wreck caused a nasty concussion, messed up a vertebra in my back, and the resulting brain damage is still affecting me 6 years later.
For me pain is multidimensional, there’s different kinds of “worst.” The short drop onto a hospital bed after surgery was by far the strongest, sharpest, brightest pain I ever felt, but it only lasted a millisecond. Kidney stones can be sharp and radiating, but the pain tends to be localized with ebbs and flows. Pancreatitis was not as “sharp” as a kidney stone, but it was bigger, harder to tolerate, more attention consuming, and came with aweful nausea.
Lemmy is also a lot older than kbin - kbin is only a month or two old, iirc, and it’s still technically in beta. I’m sure once an API of out for it, we’ll start seeing a lot of apps popping up. It just takes time - we’ve only just in the last few months seen a boom in quality Mastodon apps.
I’d say that in about six months, we’ll be spoiled for choice.
Flipped over the front of my bike as a kid and knocked my two front teeth out. But it wasn't that part that hurt. It was when the dentist shoved them back into the hole. I about levitated out of the chair out of sheer pain.
