"im gay and im homophobic" posts tumblr user gaysasuke. tumblr user gaysasuke reblogs a post saying "i hate gay people so much its unreal" and tags it "#about me". gaysasuke gets an ask on tumblr.com. its from anon. anon points out that the "i hate gay people so much its unreal" post was made by a white nationalist. the rest of their followers notice this. fellow tumblr user and former mutual of gaysasuke, jotarokujofeetpics, writes the callout. of all the accusations included in the post, things like death threats and planning to send gore to other tumblr users in their private discord dont get as much emphasis put on them as much as things like kinning static shock while white. gaysasuke uploads a picture of themself to dispute the accusation that they kin outside of their race. tumblr user and formal mutual aphobicmiku reverse image searches the picture and points out its stolen from someone else's social media. aphobicmiku was also involved in the plot to send gore to other tumblr users but this is never acknowleged. gaysasuke panics. their inbox is filling up. followers have dm'ed them wondering what is going on. they start a post titled "jotarokujofeetpics callout post" go through their google drive accout and link a folder called "jotarokujofeetpics nword" in the post. the tide has turned.

i love translations i love the act of translation i love it so so much

[lesbianaglaya]

translation is so fun because people feel so strongly about it and for good reason because ultimately it's all about sacrifice. do you sacrifice form for content? content for mood? mood for form? there are no solutions just compromises. as anthony burgess said, "translation is not a matter of words only; it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture". nabokov referred to a bad translation as giving "the impression that I am witnessing a murder and can do nothing to prevent it". the husband and wife translators of russian novels, pevear and volokhonsky work in tandem, translating and reading and polishing in a process pevear referred to as "raising questions". douglas hofstadter asked multiple people he knew to translate a short 16th century french poem and came back with wildly varying results. to use eliot weinberger's words, "every reading of every poem, regardless of language, is an act of translation" and the actual literal act of translating from one language to another exposes so much about the languages and the author and the translator and the reader of the translation! it's a deeply intricate analysis that expands continuously outward!
