Found, at a book sale. Sadly there isn’t time to indulge in an old alt historical fantasy classic. I’ve still got a lot on my plate.

Keep the pressure on. No ai dubs for any language
No game No Life and Vinland Saga both had their English AI dubs removed, but Pet still has its English AI dub.
The Spanish AI dubs are unchanged.

THAT WAS SO FUN 😍
Indeed, it is not about reading the words on the screen but ✨speaking, reacting, responding✨ from one's perspective, experience, and opinion.
Needless to say, we'll do more of this. 😤 Thank you to the wonderfully talented VTubers in today's session! 🙏❤️

Need to remind myself to stop throwing goodwill down a bottomless well. The well neither knows nor cares that it’s my goodwill falling down its maw. It’s not the well’s fault I keep losing gold to it.
Rant over. Back to work.

(I got parents who secretly think I’m running a charity.) Anyway, I’m neck deep in film prep, so it makes me doubly glad this session gets recorded. I’m betting it’d be great to be in the virtual room where this happens *while it happens.*
Go get this naaaaaooo!

Actors. Artists. Directors. Musicians. And more! If you are a freelancer - and you are - this lecture session with Jazzy will be of big help.
Make no mistake - we are running a business. And if we're uninformed about finances, we are leaving money on the table. 😤

I’m frazzled, got my head in multiple places. Shouldn’t have been surprised to find out I’d left my wallet at home while I was at the checkout counter at the supermarket. Gotta get home and back again before it closes.
Welp. I do need the exercise…

I cant describe what a Dream it was to work with such an amazing cast and crew. The joy on set was infectious. So many told us it was the best thing they've worked on.
They were my first audience. Now it's all of you 🫠❤️

It's that first part: "Just be a—" has the energy of an Asian parent telling you to "just be" a doctor.
"Just be an influencer" feels like the new version of "just make indie games" but for journalists and I hate it.

For real, though, if you're a YouTube creator who makes regular content and would like to partner up with a closed caption editor, please hit me up! I will help you!
What I really need is, like, one consistent YouTuber who puts out a lot of work and can afford human closed caption editing, and then I'd have to rely less on selling stickers, lol.

The casting call I put up on Xittbird and Facebook will be ending in a few days. It’s been instructive. There have been good auditions. But seeing as there’s been little feedback about the call itself, I am half-guessing at the value of the insights I’ve picked up.

Alt 0151 on a Windows machine. Em dashes have been a staple in fiction for as long as I could read (and for all my protestations of being millennial-adjacent, I’ve been around longer than that).
Also to make an em dash all you have to do is put two dashes in a row in Word, and the program makes it for you. Wordpress too.
Anything an LLM is doing is stolen from actual writers and I'll be damned if I'll let a plagiarism machine dictate how I use language, grammar or punctuation.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.
Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?
