@johnpmerrick it's SO SO funny!!!!! had frequent fully out loud belly laughs reading it and was my number one greatest takeaway

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

1/5

@AdamCSharp oh and "ingenting tingeling" is the third part! (nothing, tinkerbell) (altho branching out from the jungle book theme)

[Lise Lærdal Bryn @liselbryn]

@AdamCSharp another norwegian one! it's a duet one, where one person says "hallo, baloo" and the other says "hva skjer'a, bagheera". meaning hello baloo, what's up bagheera :) referencing the jungle book, ofc

[Lise Lærdal Bryn @liselbryn]

not been on this app all summer which started as a lack of time for this infernal timesuck and then turned into an implicit protest to the horror of the rebrand but am actually feeling super disconnected from the translation and general literary world so here i am, back again
