Here for Translation and Interpreting: A Vessel for Social and Community Change. I’m thrilled with how many language justice/DEI-themed sessions there are this year #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

Starting Saturday bright and early with Legalization of Documents, something that should be pretty dang relevant to my everyday work #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@hermitranslator I am sorry I am not at your session this morning, I’m sure you will do great!

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

I am so personally offended by the tanking of this platform, not least because it is making me learn *instagram* to find any of my friends who are literally also at this conference 😖 #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

“Perfection is a white supremacist myth.” this is a *phenomenal* presentation, I wish I hadn’t been five minutes late and completely missed which of the two speakers is actually presenting. I’ll update this when I go introduce myself after the session!

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

Little dip in the afternoon and I’m back! I’m attending The JEDI Mindset, which has started with a land acknowledgment so we are already off to a fantastic start #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

…I just realized I posted this *during* your session, I totally lost track of time. I hope it is going well 😅

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@DeinielAparicio hello! I wanted to attend your ATA session about sports but had a horrible headache. My main question is, do you follow F1 at all?

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@ChemXlator No worries! I figured it was worth a shot. I leave super early Sunday so I only have tomorrow to work with. I would guess you already have dinner plans?

Entirely unrelated but I absolutely brought the shirt that horrified you in Minneapolis, almost entirely for you 😂❤️

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@ChemXlator I don’t know that you’ll see this but I’m hanging out in the lobby still if you’re not doing anything this session and want to say hi (again)!

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

Quebec: The Gift that Keeps on Giving is a fantastic title and I’m very excited about this presentation #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@YurickTrans I amused myself so much with that I pinned in three years ago and can’t bring myself to replace it with anything else 😅

@language_news While completely respecting your need to just *not* do a conference right now, I miss you and I’m looking forward to seeing you next year! No one else here ever asks me to come knit during *their* presentation 😆

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

Is this platform just dead? I accidentally functionally took a year off from translation as an industry and I can't tell if I'm expecting more tweets (I'm still calling them tweets and no one can stop me) from #ata64 unfairly or not. I feel like things used to be chattier?

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

This morning I’m starting with Inclusive Language in K-12 Education, combining something I am personally interested in (inclusive language) with something I have no experience with (K-12 Education)

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@caitilinwalsh Where am I, I’m vaguely assuming that was tomorrow based on previous years and not looking at the schedule and sleeping in, whoops 😅

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@YurickTrans Seriously! This is a graveyard, no one is tweeting (because twitter is bad) and I feel like I’m missing all my friends 😭

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

I am excited for Geek and Pop Culture, something I am somewhat knowledgeable about 🤓 #ata64

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@vicmensal @paulaplazas_ Happily! María(? I don’t know what you go by, my apologies), what’s your Instagram handle?

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

#ata64 Friends who are here! I’m just chilling in the lobby this session, anyone who wants to come say hi I haven’t seen yet. Or if I don’t know you and you want to practice networking. I don’t bite!

[Sam Mowry, CT @SamTranslates]

@vicmensal Are people actually on Instagram for like, professional-social purposes? I guess I’ll have to check it out. How am I supposed to find my friends??
