Oh, is it International Lesbian day? Then read my lesbian stoner buddy comedy with fairies about Brexit. A book so queer it contains zero cis men, "she" is the only pronoun, and the trans men roll with it. Everybody lesbian now! www.amazon.com/dp/B09CNDSKZH/

"Reversion clause" is a phrase a lot of new writers submitting to small presses don't know, and if that's you, rectify that ASAP and make sure you always have one in your contracts. And yes, you should ALWAYS have a contract.

1) Aliette is correct, and this shit is dramatic in its scope. 2) Amazon tried to sell me a squeegee when I was searching for a Raclette machine yesterday, and that alone should be reason enough to stop trusting any AI translation right now.

Thread: As a translator myself, I echo everything Aliette says. I have also noticed longterm customers suddenly no longer calling, because somewhere there is a machine translation system that is cheaper, even if its output is worse.

Maybe it's just what comes across my particular desk, but seems like it should be a bigger deal that both the EU and the US have approved a kind of HIV vaccine--a shot that provides 99% protection for 6 months--and it's going to be produced royalty-free in 120 poor nations w/ high HIV rates.
