mentally I'm about to have my second beer after getting out of the onsen; physically I'm being used as a climbing frame by a toddler

今年の翻訳講座の準備をしないといけない私はテキトーに本を取ったり捲ったりしている。心のなかに、行き当たりばったりにシラバスを作ることがダメだと分かっているが、もしかしたらウリポっぽい作り方がマシではないか。ら行で始まる苗字のある作家だけを取り上げよう、とか。疲れた。

seeking comrades for the London May Day march. if enough translators are coming I'll make a banner or something idk

This piece by Yukiko Duke, who co-translated Kenzaburo Oe, Haruki Murakami and Yu Miri among others with her mother, deeply moved me. "It was the best kind of family business." swedishbookreview.org/joy-translat...

driven to complete madness in just four months by the English house-selling process

Sadly this is basically the main dude in MAY YOU HAVE DELICIOUS MEALS

obsessed with the woman at the airport bar who keeps sighing and saying "I'm ready to be home." the bartender asked where home is. "about an hour away"

what they don't tell you is it's functionally illegal to smoke anything other than weed in kkkalifornia

Just signed some books at City Lights with @yumiri0622.bsky.social - move fast if you want one!

A man walked up to me on the street. "Hey, I like your style. Can I have a ten dollar bill?" "I have a one dollar bill." "Or if you have a twenty, that works too." "I have a one dollar bill." "No worries."

flying into my broken country today! not anxious at all

every time I do more than one household task in a day I think I'm really on some super-mom shit

only an hour ago I had to pick my kid up from nursery for being "feverish" and "not himself," and now he is running around cackling maniacally and inventing new wrestling moves to destroy me. maybe they were just sick of getting their asses kicked by a 17 month old

my child has eaten nearly an entire can of hipster olives on his own which makes me think maybe *he's* the gentrifier scum keeping me from buying a house in my neighborhood

dreamed about telling a professional chef of my acquaintance about a salad I made once last July. he fell out of his seat at the beauty of my creation

watching The X-Files and googling "would I even be bisexual if my parents hadn't been weird enough to let a 5 year old watch The X-Files"

I sleep so brokenly these days that I no longer remember dreams, except for the occasional linguistic detail. Last night's was a billboard that proclaimed something to be "crush-your-lungs good"

@grouchomerckx.bsky.social I had a dream we went to a chicken shop and you decided to order the "DIY python dip", which was a section of cooked python with mayonnaise and seasonings to combine at will. You were obviously very pleased

dreamed I owned a classic Nirvana shirt but it said Biryani

dreamed last night that I tweeted: "'From the highways to the by ways' is goated when expressing the breadth of America is the vibe" and I stand by that

praying on the demise of the British rail system

"baby it's cold outside" but it's about trying to talk a toddler into keeping their socks on

feel like pure shit just want it back x

everybody knows how hot Young Stalin was but why did I only just find out about Young Zhou Enlai

I've been told a very low stakes secret about a political figure, which would certainly make everyone feel more warmly toward the person at the heart of it, but I absolutely am not allowed to share and I am not the right person to bear this kind of responsibility

you ever listen to Lucinda Williams so much your baby starts crying at the sound of her voice? yeah me either

if I had a time machine, I'd kill the person who thought of glass chopping boards

been muttering "big-brained wrong 'uns" to myself for hours

finished all my pre-Frankfurt work and now I can go out and play, untroubled by samples of books I definitely do not want to translate

today's kitchen tasks to be completed while making dinner: - make cilantro kimchi - make chicken stock - make green chile coconut sambal (stretch goal to be unlocked after completing other two only if baby is not attacking hamstrings)

been thinking about crab rangoons for days now. thought my husband would be out tomorrow so I could make 40 and eat them all like a lil rat without judgment but it is not to be. my disgusting crab rangoon rat day shall come

@garethwatkins.bsky.social thank you for rapturing me
