At what age did "That was a really great email" become a huge compliment for you?
I think for me it was around 29

@ruthdonnelly151 This became one of my favourite reads in 2022- thank you for the recommendation!

Spotted an accidental theme in the last three books I've read
I wonder if I can keep it going! Any life recommendations?

[Kit Sheard @tradiccion_]

@Lillie_Langtry @cctranslates I loved both of these- thank you for the recommendation! Finishing Life After Life felt sad, I could read 100 more versions of how Ursula's life turned out

@JessAndohThayre Loved this! Such a unique narrative style- I could hear each character out loud in my head. Thank you for the recommendation!

[Kit Sheard @tradiccion_]

@katmeredith_ I enjoyed The Lying Life of Adults- thank you for the recommendation! Looks like it's been made into a Netflix series now too!

A fun children's book, beautifully illustrated by a friend of mine. Do support this project, if you can!

@tinakover How about when you show it to someone in horror and they say "but that's what you look like"

If it doesn't rain at the FUNERAL of the QUEEN of ENGLAND, taking place in LONDON in AUTUMN then every movie is a lie

Having a go at Machine Translation Post Editing and have just come across
"conditions and terms"

I don't think we're ready to say goodbye to human translators just yet

I don't know who needs to hear this but check your junk mail

Exciting post!
A wonderful book of poetry with 7 postcards designed by the poet, @lauracasielles
Extra exciting to spot my old flat in Madrid featured on one of them

[Kit Sheard @tradiccion_]

@Rosenkrantz Such a lovely spot!

"Sitting is the smoking of the 21st century"

A VERY late entry to the #SSTPoetryPrize2022
The poem was really fun to work on- check out @lauracasielles, she is brilliant!

[Kit Sheard @tradiccion_]

Thank you so much @katmeredith_ @JessAndohThayre and @Lillie_Langtry - I'm going to get hold of all of these immediately!

Transcribing birdsong, Brazilian rap, contract negotiation, pitching to publishers and meeting and collaborating with like-minded lovers of language
@BristolTransla2 has been a blast
