There’s a new video trend I’m seeing people doing by pretending they are getting in trouble and using an ai voice to sound like they are being reprimanded & then end bring up places like Contra or AI product. 🙃😒

After 8 years using Hobonichi Techo journals, I actually got to attend an official meetup event! 📓 Does anyone here remember my old flip throughs? 😬

Check out what the event was like in my recap: chic-pixel.com/2025/10/hobo...

I remember having a meltdown in elementary school because we had to use those stupid plastic slip caps on pencils to teach us how to write and my teacher didn't have any for left-handed students so I had to learn without. 🥲

Teresa (Katy) Castillo @harleygin.bsky.social · 2d

Usually, I correct myself and learn but after having to learn how to do so many things like cutting with scissors, handwriting, and using the mouse, I'm sure I'm not the only left-handed person tired of having to conform what's expected by those who are not.

I recently learned I've been drawing checkmarks backwards and when I tried to do it the "correct way", I now know why I was.

I'm left-handed and checkmarks drawn to be easy for right-handed folks because it flicks outwards for them. Try it out yourself. I'll stick to my way thank you very much.

I'm a big fan of Japanese entertainment and media, so most of my translation work is in comics and subtitles.

I'm in the middle of translating a YouTube series which I hope to share soon.

I'm also the translator and a cast member of "Peteru The Money Maker," a local theatre production in Nagoya.

Thursdays are for Translators!

If you're a translator why not tell us a little bit about yourself, what projects you've on the go, what you've written, any events in the near future, or just drop your bio and links and follow and support each other

I truly wish I knew! I’m wondering if it’s because they are ignoring the - and so yeah, I guess I would pronounce like that but also it sounds too close to bussy. 😆
