- Aww, thank you so much! 😭🥰 One of the things I love about Bluesky is that I've curated my feed so I can interact with tons of artists and authors. I'd been in a creative dry spell for years before this and it feels so liberating ❤️

- Playing Secret of Mana in Japanese entirely for fun actually helped me a lot with vocab in a folklore class I took while in Japan 😆 Knowledge builds from unlikely places! Never regret being a nerd ❤️

- I was doing translation (JPN-ENG) which is not a huge market, so I wasn't expecting much, but even so it was pretty dire. Sorry to hear that it used to be much better, but glad you had a good experience. I don't really know what to do either, demand for anything creative seems crazy low right now 🥲
- I was on Fiverr for a while and I literally did not get a single legitimate inquiry, just a slew of messages that looked like this trying to get you onto a different platform so they can scam you. My guess is that they won't take your examples- their aim was likely different. But who knows 😣

- "Sorry, I'm losing you- I'm going through a tunnel" 1. Works if you're actually on the phone 2. Works in person because they won't want to engage further and may in fact leave in all haste 3. Works best if you also make phone crackle noises

- The Timeless Art of Seduction (I can't find a gif with it but it's a Seinfeld reference)

- Thank you for sharing this with us- it can't be easy. Don't know what to say except that I hope you get to tell all the stories you have in mind now and then some ❤️

- I remember that episode! My host mom in Japan made fugu for me once and was very affronted when me and my friend asked if it was safe 😂 (she did have official govt certificates for cooking though, so she definitely knew how to treat it safely)

- Ogopogo, the monster of Okanagan Lake here in B.C. I've always been a fan of Nessie but Ogopogo is just so much fun to say 😂

- Perfect GIF because it definitely had some Thriller energy!
- I see an essential addition to everyone's Halloween playlists from now until the end of time
- I saw that here in Canada a while back and thought the same thing!! There are SO many regional Japanese specialties that a single mere mortal couldn't possibly know them all 😂 (Opinion I desperately want to insert: the best Irohasu is the Hokkaido-limited ハスカップ (honeysuckle?))

- To be fair, he was right It's one of my faves of yours so far!

- Heard this myself once when I complained of crippling fatigue. YEARS LATER found out that I had very real, scary issues. The fact that I'd lost weight during those years weirdly didn't fix them 🙄 I want to go back in time and slap that doctor in the face for making it take so long to get real help

- I hadn't visited since January because I haven't had the money to order anything, and when I checked my wishlists, my *ENTIRE* BL wishlist was GONE 😭 There are a couple of BL things left on the site if you search, but it's utterly decimated. I can only hope they're slowly going to bring stuff back 😥

- So cool!!!
- They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
- CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org
- I just learned that Surugaya, the place I buy all of my Japanese used books, took down all its 18+ content in May due to the (non-Japanese) CEO of Visa in Japan. While hetero 18+ content has since been reinstated, LGBTQ+ content largely has not come back, and I don't know if it will. I am ENRAGED.

- It's cute!! But I also find horrifying things cute sometimes so probably take my opinion with a grain of salt

- I'm ADHD but I totally understand the textures part. Cottage cheese or cold silk tofu (and *only* that kind of tofu) cannot touch my body anywhere or I WILL throw up. I also can't stand the texture of corduroy and am intensely uncomfortable if near it. It makes my teeth feel weird.

- This is the conclusion I've come to as well. Banning it outright puts an incredible burden on me as the instructor to police it, and frankly, students using AI don't deserve that much of my time. I'll give the AI the grade it deserves (a low one, because it can't do what I'm asking for) and move on

- I am here to praise your magnificent alt text. Without it, I never would have been able to figure out what the orange things next to the excessively normal Food™️ brand Food were. Thank you social media! The service was excellent.

- Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! It looks so wonderful up on your wall 🥰

- Yes to this whole thread! I often feel the need to apologize or overexplain when I translate something differently than its literal 1:1 meaning, but why? As a translator, I am in service to the overall meaning and context of the work, not to each individual word. And that's why we can't be replaced!

- Holy carp! After years and years of correcting Japanese researchers' romanizations so they can write for English-language publications 😱 Will I never see another sya??? 🤣
- Did that thing where the task I absolutely Could. Not. Do. for like a month was done in less than 20 minutes. All it took was 3+ weeks of self-hatred and extreme guilt! 😁 Pour one out (some of your executive function) for poor saps like me #adhd #nd #justadhdthings

- I love it when people who understand both humor and the in-jokes of a particular time period explain it and annotate it for others so we can enjoy too ❤️ I have had to do this for medieval Japanese texts and it is difficult but delightful work

- Ooooh, Erica Friedman wrote for it? Awesome!

- As someone who is easily discouraged with my own work when I see professional-level art, I so appreciate this! I also loved a recent trend where people showed a piece of their art from five years ago next to a piece from this year- a clear visual example of the benefits of practice. So encouraging ❤️
