ellis (doesn't find social media satisfying)

i thought today was saturday which means through no fault of anyone in particular its going to be a long ass friday, the real day that we're on

LEAVE THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO ALONE IS WHAT I'M SAYING

stop casting white men as characters that were almost certainly not white challenge

as ever, thanks to the restaurant that sent me enough silverware to tide over a small family but this entire order is for me, a growing boy, and i only need one set

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

it's really interesting that no matter how many tantrums Trump throws, Russia's tariffs have remained solidly at 0%

hard not to think we're just absolutely cooked the longer this goes on

my editorial villain origin is finding a panel which has both the MTL and the "edited" version of dialogue overlaying each other bc someone was clearly instructed to edit the sentence by finding synonyms but failed to understand the nuances of word choice and narrative tone

graaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH

i just wanna read my little stories!!!

localizations and also enjoy a story that is coherent. it's not too much to ask!

if i ever become rich i'm going to literally open a press that localizes titles and then hire some of the best scans groups i've come across to do the work they do but make it paid.

i have to deal with mtl, i'd rather jump through my own hoops (three translation apps pulling from dictionaries compiled before the enshittification of language via AI) and let my editorial brain work through things. i'm slowly gathering vocabulary in languages i'm trying to learn and able to look +

there are wonderful, dedicated scans groups doing the work, passionately and accurately, free of charge only to have the license swooped up by some corp that throws the book at a stupid program that turns it into just another piece of ai slop.

i spend so much time and money on RAWs now - if +

god, mtl is the worst. it's NOT good enough. it make stupid mistakes and removes important context. so so many times the right choice is to add a translator's note rather than looking for the next best word. i'm so so annoyed to find so many licensed english translations are using mtl when +

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

a mashup of jigglypuff and koffing

Puffing? Jiggling? fuck if I know

oh shit new doctor's office time waster

chronic illness things: not realizing you have a TERRIBLE infection and have for weeks until it's found through a routine UI for medication refills

its fine
