I got a covid shot last weekend at CVS... but I don't recall for certain which it was... so possibly this comment is 100% unhelpful.

In addition to the conference, I'm reconnecting with some family I haven't seen in 22 years who just happen to live in the next town over from the conference. 💚

Happy to be in the greater Seattle area for the @notisnet.bsky.social conference. Looking forward to four hours of workshops on consecutive note-taking on Saturday!

or, wait, Switzerland?!

that was going to be my second guess!

Original Latin text written in what geographical region... France?

(I'm going to fail at guessing but at least have some fun in the meantime.)

topic area... natural history?

The past two weeks have been A. Lot. (understatement.), but today I started off the long weekend by spending several hours hanging out with my five year old buddy, including making cookies and a trip to the playground. eleventy-billion/10 stars, can recommend.

After weeks of many library books on hold, but none becoming available, I suddenly have 7 available and checked out to me at once. Possibly the universe is sending me a signal.

1. quick deepl/human comparison for you. This is from my current project on state sexual violence against Greenlandic women, which is obviously pretty sensitive stuff.

It might not look like it, but translation is often a safety-critical industry. Problem is, you can't tell where the danger is unless you're an expert, and AI is stripping expertise out at a rate of knots.

Inputting changes into the book draft from the handwritten comments on the hardcopy manuscript that @tulkur.bsky.social and I worked on together three weeks ago in Leeds, and having happy memories of how much fun and how hard we laughed while working on them 🥰🥰.

The book's not half bad, either. 😎

Actually, seems like it was more like 80,000 people there (and even NPR is saying the event was cancelled, sheesh :(. )

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
