"Amazon revokes the concept of owning books, can edit books you already bought; Piracy Is The Answer!"—Louis Rossmann >

Originally I started making all my videos look old, like they were film or a VHS running on an old TV, as a way to both save storage space as I could use 24 FPS, and lower res, and not have it look like garbage, as well as a form of artistic expression as I just thought it looked cool.
I now have more storage, and I think I'll keep doing it anyway.
Makes my Videos on #scoopz stand out as nobody else seems to have a similar style.
Some days the #news is just so MESSED UP I freeze and don't know what #videos to make.
Today's one of those days.
I only have the focus to make about two or three. Otherwise I spend all day researching and trying to record a #rant that is satisfying to me.
The #editing process is actually the easy part - takes me about 5 minutes to add filters and effects, and whatever outro I choose.
Narrowing down what's most important is hard.
More cooffffeee.
More work today on the Lesbians in Space anthology, the June year 4 campaign, and the second Lesbians in Space campaign! I hope to work on a quick short story this weekend for a new magazine!

When '(and here ask why)' is mistakenly assumed to be part of the abstract by the authors, editors, or even the AI assistant.
To give an analogous example,
We sent: “I like cats, as well as dogs, for the following reasons: A, B, and C”
The client sent back ““I like cats, as well as dogs. for the following reasons: A, B, and C”
And they asked if they could delete the period and colon, and the editor was like “sure, you can delete the period!” 🫠 #editing
Finished up the main formatting for the Lesbians in Space anthology today! I'll do another once over tomorrow to make sure everything's in the right place. Looking forward to getting this one out there in June. There are some amazing stories!

Taking my first dip into the @kdenlive pool. I'll still need Resolve for specific things related to my paid work but whenever I can, I'll support something free and community maintained. Loving it so far and impressed with how feature packed it is.
