Generations of Love. A hero’s journey in a post-liberation #gaylit key: no torment, no drama, a healthy dose of irony. A college student in small-town Italy comes out with ‘80s pop-music as his soundtrack. Generations doesn’t end happily; it ends well. #PitMad #gay #translation

Generations of Love. A gay, post-liberation roman à clef: no torment, no drama, lots of humor & a love story to boot. Our hero knows his place in his small Italian town, and it’s right where he is. Generations doesn’t end happily, but it does end well. #PitMad #gay #translation

Generations of Love. A small-town coming-out novel set in Italy & scored to an ‘80s pop-music soundtrack. A gay hero who keeps family, friends & community intact. No drama. No suffering. Leavened with irony. Generations doesn’t end happily; it ends well. #PitMad #gay #translation

“Lo voglio morto” non sarebbe stato forse la mia prima scelta, perché anche lo scarafaggio ha una mamma, ma se poi quello non va via da solo? #FateliScendere #Immigrazione #LibertadiParola

Da giorni si parla sui social della collega traduttrice che (dicono i) ha credibilmente “minacciato” la vita del #BabyMussolini in carico. Ora basta con i “sì ma” dei pavidi e gli insulti dei #DrogatiDaSalvini. Solidarietà incondizionata alla collega. @SlcCgil @@S_TRAD_E

Quando la preoccupazione (finta) per la salute di un fascista al governo è più grande della preoccupazione per la salute di decine di persone disperate al largo del mare, la questione della tua umanità è chiusa. #Salvini #SalviniMerda @nalawyer, @cristinalawyer1, @orga77

Ridateci Calderoli e i suoi maiali. Almeno quello faceva ridere. #Salvini #SalviniDimettiti #SalviniMerda #FateliSbarcare

I read again and again that it's OK for young translators to work in post-editing as introduction of sorts to "real" translation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Young translators who start w/post-editing will likely stay with it, experienced xlators know how to choose.

[No Peanuts! @No_Peanuts]

Hmmm, #translators. Did you know that some publishers do this routinely? 🤔

[No Peanuts! @No_Peanuts]

It’s not only translators who are victimized by copyright rustling publishers. Read @chrismeyns’ threads about @SpringerNature. Chris is right: authors, which includes #translators, have to stand up to the bullies and demand that they stop!

This thread. More and more funders are stepping up to help authors keep their copyright.

.@NOTISnet Because so many just-starting-out translators had questions about copyright & translation yesterday at the conference, here's a little more. The research is 4 years old, but not much has changed: https://t.co/pPVizavFmO #translationDay #translators #Copyright

[ProvenWrite @provenwrite]

I wish these issues would be discussed openly and seriously at ATA @atanet and at ALTA @LitTranslate. Why so much resistance to aking a firm stand against copyright "rustling"?

[ProvenWrite @provenwrite]

If you're looking for guidance/a model contract for #Literary #Translation, the @PENamerican Center's is great (https://t.co/aqxXknC8o9), but CEATL's is better, especially on issue of #copyright (https://t.co/Tp2eTS9euX). #translators

[No Peanuts! @No_Peanuts]

Thanks once more to CEATL!
