very strange how women and lgbtq folks in translation always get the worst of it when it comes to dogpiling, death threats, doxxing, and racist memes!!! just thought that was interesting. who could possibly say what the reason is. it is a mystery

People get into this field because they love it, but each year, it’s less and less tenable to make it a career, and that’s completely heartbreaking. Good on Jan for speaking out.
You’d think that with increasing numbers of shows and manga, demand for dubs on multiple streaming services, and fans looking for better quality translation and loc, translators would be living well. Nope. The workload has increased, the deadlines have been shortened, and quality checks are gone.
LRT: there’s a reason everyone who works in Japanese media localization is rallying around Jan’s statement here. Anime, manga, and games are seemingly bigger than ever and none of the creatives involved in getting that media into English are making any money.
The stalking and harassment that so many in this industry face is another massive issue. On top of the terrible pay, there are people with a vested interest in trying to destroy people’s livelihoods, and hardly anyone with any power seems interested in standing up for them.
Mary@sharpestrose.bsky.social · yesterdayReposting this from Molly Lee, whose harassment over Slow Damage makes me upset years later. I will die on the hill of that translation. We were lucky that we *didn't* have the roadblocks stopping us from interacting with the original authors that this article talks about, and it *still* happened.

👁️🍄🪸@bloomfilters.plus · 2w agowatching cis people repeatedly fail to find a way to counter the conservatives' emphasis on sex and thus watch them hopelessly struggle as conservatives bring back extremely invasive "sex testing" and defund or destroy women's organizations and social spaces is so. wow lol
Is it because they openly muse about replacing humans with technology as if human beings were a problem to be solved through elimination, is it that.

a guy with the dude flipping the double bird had a shirt on that says, "KILL YOUR LOCAL PEDOPHILE"

These are rookie numbers. We can get these numbers up.
Jesse Felder@jessefelder.com · 2w ago‘In July alone, more than 150 towns and counties passed temporary or permanent bans on data centers, many adopted in emergency meetings. That brings the nationwide total to more than 500.’ www.theinformation.com/articles/dat...
For context (since the Post doesn’t provide any) this is around the same 6-month casualty rate as the war in Afghanistan 2006-2009 or so. Afghanistan had higher deaths to injuries, but the numbers are not very far off.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d agoThe number of U.S. service members reported wounded or killed in the Iran war has jumped to 774, after the Pentagon added scores of new troops to the wounded list in the last few days.

Activists have set up a protest camp in the Arizona border town of Lochiel to prevent the destruction of a grove of ancient cottonwood trees. Federal contractors plan to destroy the grove to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
i love talking to friends about interests and existence even when everything feels so pointless and hopeless
a circle ⭕️. jaadugar explores women as embodied objects of social-reproduction, lara explores whether girls are allowed to desire beyond embodiment, kimishinu explores the suppression of this desire as girls are a technology, gits explores the logical consequence of technology on embodiment itself
I like to do a simple touhou drawing hours before I go on a big trip, I don't know why but it feels like the right thing to
Kudos to Paul Clement, who has chosen integrity during this era when so few have.

On Tuesday, ABC, its parent company Disney, and eight ABC-owned stations sued Carr and the FCC for grossly violating the First Amendment."
