Why does Adobe make things that can be done in Canva so hard? This is a way to get text for social media vids into Premiere Pro more efficiently since I couldn't find an easier way of doing it. No plugins necessary. tashasthinkings.blogspot.com/2025/08/how-...

So I have had to start using the Tikky Tokky site (woe is me), and I had a right mare figuring out how to do slideshows quickly and easily. Hence I wrote it up in case it might help someone else avoid the pitfalls. 😆 tashasthinkings.blogspot.com/2025/05/publ...

I was having problems with the TikyToky site sending me #SMS messages for 2 days. In case anyone else has the same issue, what fixed it for me was turning on Flight Mode and turning it off again. Yeah, I don't know why either, but I got it from a vid talking about #iPhones, so not just #Android.

Totally get that - some of them just sound so fake and they have no soul. It's like watching CGI and getting that uncanny valley feeling, something is just wrong and the emotion isn't there.

AI voice audiobooks - good idea or really bad one or something in between with nuance? #audiobooks #indiepublishing D2D have AI voice now (wouldn't touch it with a barge pole given the can't delete it for 6 months part), and Amazon just popped up with something similar.

Finally had to do it - I've used my TikTok account and actually attempted to look into bookTok. Some of it makes me want to run away, some of it makes me laugh and want to join in, and some of it makes me sad. A few of those poor dears would expire if they clicked on AO3 🤣.

It's #Portfolioday apparently! So why not join in. I'm a watercolourist based in the UK. My favourite genre is fantasy and folklore with a heavy leaning on creatures, but I have dabbled in other areas! www.emilyhare.co.uk/pages/portfo... #dragons #dragonart #creatureart #fantasyart #watercolour

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

a blue dragon prepares to land at its nest of two dragonlings atop a huge mountain. Pale pink mountains with mists are in the background

watercolour. A blue and pink scene of a lagoon with a mermaid sitting on a rock in the middle of the water with her pink tail and fins breaking from the surface.

half human/half tentacles. The being stares at the viewer while relaxing in a cave pool with its tentacles coming out of the water, its upper body looks humanoid with long black hair and white glowing eyes.

I'm doing a Reddit AMA on 15 April! Talking about the new novel Forged For Destiny & whatever else a bunch of fantasy fans ask about. This is release day, so should give me a nice distraction from worrying about whether anyone likes the book. So if you're a Reddit person, get your questions ready...
