“Tipping is seen as an insult in Japan!” Alright. We need to have a talk about this, because it’s related to three things: 1) Actual cultural nuance/history with tipping here in Japan 2) Why we are seeing more and more tip jars/boxes in customer service facing areas in Japan

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.

Right now we’re witnessing the difference between authority and power. Elon Musk does not have the legal authority to do any of the things he is doing. He is not authorized to shut down USAID. He is not authorized to take over OPM. He has no legal authority to access all our data and payments.

Reminder to freelance Japanese translators in the US that if you have a working relationship with at least one Japan-based agency, you can qualify for a work visa that: 1. is free for that company to sponsor, 2. allows you to work for other companies, 3. can be issued in up to five-year increments.

So many great novels ruined forever because Shogakan is run by fuckwits who lack the baseline intelligence to qualify as human. Don't spend a fucking cent on this atrocity. Stifle it with indifference.

Publishers will cry boo-hoo about tight budgets from thin margins, which I don't dispute per se, but when you consider that manga used to pay $20+ per page to translate in the 90s when foreign industry revenue was tiny, forgive me if I wonder if it's more a question of priorities than lack of money.

There are a couple different parts to this. First, let's start with type design. All-caps text has a higher visual density because all of the letters are the same height. The available whitespace of a given line of text is most highly filled in for all-caps text compared to mixed-case text.

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending. K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read. It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
