But also, fucking whiplash. Made it through the chapter, looked into the news...

Wow. Fucking. Lukyanivka, KSE, Zavertaylo and the Chornobyl Museum in one night. And that's just the places I have personal links to in my home city.

For fuck's sake.

This was the Chornobyl Museum, btw.

UPD: Okay, wow. Hinaus, Zhitniy market, the Shevchenko Literature Institute, the National Art Museum, the Kyiv Small Opera too, holy hell. I suppose our enemies think all of our thinking and military planning is done in cultural institutions. Motherfuckers.

(Also hm, I can see the tower at the museum's still standing, so this is an interesting angle for a shot, I think? Or I am shit at recognizing my own city from above; that's also an option.)

I love reading about these kind of translation decisions.

I've only ever seen 弊 used to refer to one's company: 弊社, as the article says.

I've been told 弊 is used to refer to one's own something, and it has a very humble nuance.

So 弊機 translates to something like "I, your humble machine" or "I, who am but a mere machine".

Japanese is great that it can say so much with simple pronouns.

Romance language translator: well we don’t have a gender neutral pronoun so I guess we’ll flip a coin for male or female

Japanese language translator, an intellectual: none of Japanese’s 30-something plus personal pronoun options have the perfect vibes so I’ll create a new one to bring that special somethin’

[imitationgame77]

What I found to be particularly clever about the coining of this very unique first person pronoun 弊機 (heiki) is that it’s a homophone of 兵器(heiki), meaning ‘weapon’

Art by Maria Prymachenko about Chornobyl disaster:

1. "This is how the Unit 4 dreamed. Flowers will grow on it. And the children will carry flowers. As a monument will forever be near it. Our heroes saved us, they left us."

2. "An old man was grazing his cow near Unit 4 and put nylon bags on her for her health. But cow is eating grass and not listening to him"

3. "Flowers grew near Unit 4"
