Sandra Lynn & Fig for ‘The Bad Parents’ zine for the 2023 D20 Zine Jam (featuring Seventeen by Sharon Van Etten)
No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly
im just someones weird sister
I'm in prime video brasil's walls
My biggest criticism for good omens 2 is that this didn’t happen
everyday i wake up and i go “god i’m so tired. i can’t do this anymore.” and then i get up and i continue to do it
I like saying "I'll allow it" only in contexts where I have no power or authority
babe, there's something wretched about this, something so precious about this, where to begin?
babe, there's something broken about this, but I might be hoping about this, oh what a sin
be pro-aging but wear sun screen. sun protection is not beauty industry propaganda it will save you. wear it. or else.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished
YES YES HOLY SHITTTT
And as someone who works production and editing:
AI IS FUCKING US OVER MORE THAN YOU CAN THINK.
Before being a transcriber was a very real industry job that was very popular and very needed, so there was some standards there. But while my training we were taught how to transcribe in a very specific way only to be told the job is mostly defunct and taken over by AI. It’s nearly impossible to get a transcribing job because of it.
So a lot of time they’re just feeding the program into AI and having AI half-ass the subtitles before putting it out. Now it’s really really rare someones entire job to subtitle which SUCKS cause then no one is trained to do it RIGHT when it’s one of the things in production that needs to be
And it BLOW MINE SO MUCH that I even have to sit down and transcribe the way I do by ear when they literally have the script!!!
Just send editing the script and the script supervisors notes from set!!
It’s not that hard!!!!! You have the material just give it!!! to the editors!!!!
AND STOP HALF-ASSING SUBTITLES WITH AI

The amount of time I have SOBBED rather unexpectedly.
Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust
