The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

This past Monday, I read unpublished bilingual poems of mine at, Writers by the Lights, a reading hosted by students from my MFA program. I was nervous and excited since bilingual poetry (bilingual anything, really) is quite niche, and it was my first time putting these out there.

What I like the most about translating my own culture/language into English is realizing things about it that I had never thought twice about. It's fucking fascinating and I have no idea how to best explain it.

sometimes translation work is just figuring out if* you can fit a pun in a serious tone text which has a serious setting and serious seriousness about all of it the answer might shock you (*where)

It's been a great time in Tucson. Literary translators are some of the best humans. It's humbling and grounding to be a part of such a collective. (Could ALTA just be yea-round event? I could use the non-stop geeking-out about translation, languages, diaspora, and community.)

I feel like translators like coming up with analogies for translation almost as much as they like translating. If not even more.
