The UN chief says 1.5C is dead.

While I disagree that anyone not on the frontlines of climate breakdown gets to say this, let's assume he is correct and ask the question:

Who killed it?

Fossil fuels.

learned more about the realities of working as a translator from it than from multiple university degrees (which isn‘t in competition against the thrill and importance of academic approaches, just very different!) #xl8

How did you find your start as a literary #translator?
I started pestering publishers with amazing books I‘d read in my languages. They usually said no (and still do to this day), but some had me translate other books for them. 🤷‍♀️ #xl8

How did you find your start as a literary #translator?
I took part in a project of a very kind professor at my university who let us translate one of the short stories by Cornell Woolrich as a team. It was an official translation and printed by Diogenes later on. 👩‍🏫

¿Cómo se empieza a trabajar en traducción literaria? Los CVs sin trayectoria no suman nada y las agencias no existen en este ámbito. Para conseguir encargos hay que tener traducciones publicadas. Para tener traducciones publicadas hay que conseguir encargos. ¿Qué va primero: el huevo o la gallina?

Sure, no problem. I can come up with a pun to match the visuals of glue and seaweed in a conversation about different vibes in music. Piece of cake. #AmTranslating

Two panels from Hibari-kun. A guy at the drums says ほんと！松本のフニャフニャベースとはのりが違うもんな. The bassist with a busted arm responds 悪かったよこのやろー. In the next panel, a guy in glasses at the keyboard holds up a jar of glue and a piece of nori seaweed, and says のりが違う The joke is that glue, seaweed, and vibes are homophones in Japanese.
