Update: I am regretting this (and also having to double-check terms like "décolleté")

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

writing fanfiction and translating utilize the same skills

Edited most of a part today, but I ran out of brain when I hit the "steamy" scene. Certainly I will not regret this tomorrow when I go back to it...
(I absolutely will, because editing those takes two or three times as long as normal passages. Sorry, future me.)

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

On the off chance anyone here is interested in a 100-level ticket for Stray Kids in NYC tomorrow night for $250 (a chunk less than sticker price, could negotiate maybe?) do reach out 😭 I have one extra seat!

I don’t post online this account very much (I'm usually on my fandom bsky and I don't like to cross the streams), but it's always very nice to find y'all that I've worked with over here 💜

Dancer Felix for your timeline #fe3h

Aww, thanks for the offer! I am already booked that weekend anyway, so this is more of a "dang, I need to think about this for next year" for me 😄

Dang, Otakon has so many jfashion guests this year! I will need to try to get down there one of these years.

Here's the full list of 2025 Screentoney Award winners! Thank you everyone for submitting awards and celebrating the extremely talented folks in this industry!

Ope, Legend of Exorcism V2 comes out this month! I should...finish V1.

If you are too tied to gmail, then go shut off the smart features to disable all this. I did it a week or two ago and I really don't feel like I'm missing anything at all.

Yatta! Pride Project 2SLGBTQIA+ focused manga reviews & recs Featuring written works by: Kelly, AJ, Alex, Rubi, Penn, Masha Articles edited by: Kelly, Adam, Anne, Stephanie, Bill All through out June 2025 Read on YattaTachi.com

🏳️‍🌈 Announcing the Yatta! Pride Project

We collaborated with several writers & editors in the industry to write a series of reviews and recommendations on 2SLGBTQIA+ manga titles and will be going live throughout June!

Starting June 3rd, 2025!

Don't take this job! They will pay you peanuts to "edit" a TL that's so flavorless/confusing you'll have to TL the whole thing all over again from scratch bc machine TL can't deal with nuance, metaphor, idiom, personality, or any of the other many human elements that come together to make a story!

An incredibly important skill REQUIRED for being a mentally healthy successful creative is to practice going "That thing isn't for me, but I'm really happy for its apparent success!"

Spending energy on hating things and making that your personality always leads to unhappiness or self embarrassment.

Two muscular arms clasped in solidarity. One says translators the other says editors. "Hating machine translation" sits in the middle.

Hello Bluesky.

Closing up some stuff for the year today. While it's discouraging that my secondhand sales were way down, like, I didn't get back to it very quickly at all after the move, so I can only be so annoyed cuz that's my fault lol. Still got rid of a triple-digit number of things though

My only gripe is that I think a few of the non-band visuals might be AI-generated and that kinda pisses me off. Let's not do that, guys

Absolutely obsessed with the new Matenrou Opera song. I'm so darn excited for the new album coming out next week www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeTp...

I did a bunch of admin stuff that I had been putting off today, go me! Please clap

Anyway, particular standouts for me, track numbers:
#1, 百万那由多ノ塵SCUM
#7, 雷神 風神 - レゾナンス
#12, 絶望という名の君へ
#17, 黄昏のハウリング
The album ender (track 17) is just fantastic

Wish I had my physical copy (my CD Japan order is held up because of some other items) but nbd. I think that if you are someone who particularly enjoyed No.0 or アトム 未来派 No.9 (like me!) this will be a win because there sure is some electronic/industrial stuff going on here.
