Mark of death. It reads: weak air conditioning on this car. I hope you never have to see this yourself.

POV: you realize far too late that you’ve accidentally boarded the train car marred by the mark of death.

i'll have prints of this illustration up on my shop soon!

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Again -- the safest, most powerful voices we have against the use of AI and machine translation are those of the consumer.

Readers, watchers, subscribers, fans, cosplayers, enjoyers.
Make your voices heard. Companies will listen to you.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

if anyone asks what cosplaying at a convention is like, show them this clip

sorry. i looked ahead in the guide and saw that another party member does exactly what you do, but better. no, it's not a personal thing. i'm just not going to invest in yo- stop crying

The Japanese word for grey is nezumiiro, or "rat color", which should give you an indication of just how passionate we are about the stuff.

No it doesn't

doing a bit of writing for my next essay and figured i'd tap the sign (for all of us, especially us translators)

happy pride month btw

Translation isn’t simply plugging words into a dictionary and spitting out the “same” word in a different language. It requires knowledge of grammar and context. It’s a skill that AI simply cannot replicate because a good translation drips with humanity.

No actual translator wants to be editing AI-translated BS.

I'd basically have to start translating from scratch. It takes more time to fix the mistakes.

Can't believe this person is a writer gosh.

we desperately need fans to:

A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books

B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back.

most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power.

Fans must speak up.
