@ginnytkmr.bsky.socialI will! But the host/sponsor of these events is usually pretty good about mentioning the translator, so hopefully I won't need to.
Show PostToronto friends! Do you like books? From Japan?? By queer authors??? Who won the Akutagawa Prize???? Then come see me interpret for one at the end of this month! A guaranteed* good time! *Not actually guaranteed. I cannot guarantee fun. That is up to you.
Show PostThis week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

Show PostI did run into the lady I argued with again—her name is Nayoung—I apologized to her and we had a nice chat. She graciously accepted my apology. She’s right; some things just can’t be translated. And I have to admit that. I have to be ok with that. I try REALLY HARD. It’s enough. But not everything.
