I guess one of my last tweets will be a desperate reaching out to my twitter friends for some help towards the costs of our cat’s surgery. More on this link https://t.co/yZ4vU2DPhG

The Israel lobby claims UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs is an antisemite. Someone who knows about antisemitism, the Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, begs to differ. Here he is with Francesca after her recent speech at SOAS university, London

@AntonHur I am on ProZ, I get daily emails from several companies asking me to provide MTPE, donate my voice to AI, translate for AI training, etc. so many.

Academics will organise a workshop hosted in the global north, attended by the global north, and citing the global north, and call it "connecting with the global south"

What’s wild here is that both the potato and the tomato are New World vegetables.

We’d love to hire you but that position is currently filled by a professor who hates students, refuses to teach, and hasn’t published this century

Academic job market tips:

1) Inherit wealth
2) Be luckier somehow
3) Time travel to the 90s
4) Start your own fake university

@stefantobler Can I throw my hat in the ring? 🥹

@stefantobler Can it be a Brazilian translator?

@vanessahauf Uma amiga minha tem uma irmã que é enfermeira. Disse que uma vez os Windsor visitaram o hospital pra um evento e todos os enfermeiros comentaram depois que ela tinha todos os sinais (fisicos) de um distúrbio alimentar sério, pensei que pudesse ser algo relacionado.

Upon signing a book contract today, this poem speaks to me in so many ways. Mutti Gisela, pretending she isn’t dead, is very proud of lil nobody Lucia. ❤️

I haven't tweeted much in 2023... the exodus (more talked about than actually acted upon) kinda killed my mood. I am still here though. 2023 was a year full of disease and stress, here's to a better 2024!

@vanessahauf Se precisar fazer, a cirurgia é bem de boa e a vida volta ao normal depois :) enquanto não fizer, o segredo pra evitar crises é comer uma dieta super restrita de baixíssima gordura, é o que tive que fazer enquanto esperava cirurgia.

If there is something I am not surprised about is random white privileged literary translators thinking their experience of the industry is the default and being dismissive of criticism. Nothing new here.

[Anton Hur @AntonHur]

Here’s some self-righteous scolding for you, sweetie. Many translators believe that Charco Press has a bias against L2 translators, or translators translating into their second language (English). This is a classic White Publishing bias, by the way. You guys should do better?
