cw suicide I had to put the book down for a minute because "IT'S NOT SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO DIE. I'M JUST NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN CARRY ON EXISTING." hit me in the gut because I know that feeling intimately (not currently, I'm grieving not in a pain induced depression spiral to danger)

No sé nada de economía, así que ojalá me explicaran despacito por qué cuanto menos cuesta ganar el dinero, menos se paga de impuestos. Los sueldos pagan más impuestos que las inversiones, que pagan más que las herencias. En una sociedad orientada al trabajo como motor, ¿no debería ir al revés?

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Talking to up-and-coming translators at a translation event tonight got me thinking again about how training grounds have virtually vanished. With MT and the plagiarism machine, TL for information only is basically not a job anymore, so no more entry level TL positions to hone your craft.

Pour freiner le chaos climatique, les 50% les plus modestes en France doivent réduire leur empreinte carbone de 4%. Les 10 % les plus riches doivent pour leur part diminuer leur empreinte de 81%. Le combat climatique est une lutte des classes. Et la sobriété, une mesure de justice sociale.
