Also, I just read Chichi's translation of 14th Year of Chenghua and it has probably a dozen obscure European (largely Roman) titles for officials. I can't remember them all offhand, but millarch, centarch and solon stand out. (Highly recommend it, probably my fave danmei, chichi did a great job.)

I had to google it myself at the time because I was like "that is absolutely not what they're saying and it's such a weird word, why would the translators make up a name for it?"

In the CQL subtitles, they refer to (what the MDZS book translation calls) the yin tiger tally as the "Stygian" Tiger Amulet, which is an obscure reference to the river Styx.

Princess Jing'an, for sure. She has the ideal competency to personability ratio to fit the circumstances.

Yes! Monk and Robot is so special to me, I hope we get another installment in that series soon.

It's awesome when you find out there's more of something you love than you thought. 😊 I initially thought A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet was a standalone and was floored to hear about the rest

I LOVE that series and all of Becky Chambers's work tbh. I just finished her newest novella "To Be Taught If Fortunate" and it's also v good, more of a near-future scifi setting

NBC White House correspondent reporting that legal experts advise those with passports with x markers may be held up upon attempt to use it.

I CANNOT confirm this but it’s certainly notable that it’s being reported.

However, much easier to target and identify nonbinary passports

I was a young kid but I was raised catholic so that might have been a factor
