I think what a lot of people fail to understand is that mobility aids don't always help with the physical act of walking so much as they can give you a bit more physical stamina to do so. Which is why I use a cane during cons and travel the most under "normal" conditions

Being physically upset about it only makes the pain worse so it's in my best interest to try to stay calm. I did hit my limit earlier today but I'm hoping that if I squeeze my PCP and insurance to replace it faster they'll do so.

I see I'm getting some new followers. Hi! I'm your local friendly J to E translator! While my wheelhouse is publishing, I've also done work in nearly every creative medium including interpretation. I'm non-binary (they/them pls) and I deeply care about social justice.

5. Some also have ASD/Asperger's/other developmental delay issues that influence their learning. This is me, too. 6. This conversation needs to take into account all of these people, and all of these factors. 7. No one is lesser because they can't speak. Period. End of sentence.

And yes: thanks to a few people, I have seen the Bad Author Tweet. I can't believe I have to say this but: - I do not condone what the author said - I have no control over what they say online (and neither does 7S)

3. One thing I learned in neurolinguistics to expand on the above two points: everyone learns and processes differently. Some literally cannot speak because their brains won't let them. For others, it's a weakened muscle that they need to awaken. 4. Everyone has different needs.

I've lost followers for making my position on abortion clear. Did y'all think that the non-binary person with two reproductive diseases and one hysterectomy was actually gonna be pro-life? Lmao. Get fucked, pissbabies

Anyways this would be a great time to get or renew your subscription to Shonen Jump! Help Viz bring over more great material by supporting the official translations!

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but here goes. Don't ever feel bad for wanting to do a job that isn't considered as "important" like creative translation. If it makes you happy, by god you need to do it. We don't have a lot of time left on this burning rock.

Remember, kids. This dude is in Nippon Kaigi and he's thrown in his lot with them. So basically he supports a neo-imperalist age with tons of state-sanctioned racism :)

Neurodivergent translators and those that simply process differently exist, and it's hurtful to assume otherwise wrt to how people learn. For me, I have Asperger's. I was diagnosed when I was 14. This has influenced how I've learned language.

Last thing I'll say on this: Any literature pre-1947 is doubly hard to translate for modern learners because of the 国語国字問題, or the kana/kanji reform that had been brewing for roughly 47 years within the Meiji/Taisho administrations. Certain kana/kanji were eliminated. 1/n

Getting to see my titles officially In The Wild amongst congoers is.... I really almost started to cry. This has been my dream since I was little. And now it's real.

Just to reassure friends here - I'm okay but I'll be in the hospital until Friday at the earliest. They weren't able to use the robot on me so they had to do it old school, which is really painful. They also had to put stents in me, too.

Just as general commentary: Japan is still very very much into physical releases and didn't even start using Spotify until 2015-16-ish (the US opened early adoption in 2010). This also goes for all media, but esp music. 1/X

I don't want to attack anyone, but I do want to make clear: everyone is different, everyone's journeys are different, and everyone's career paths are different. We must be understanding of these things, and offer to lift each other up, and offer resources.
