me when non-translators argue about translations: you dolts. you buffoons. you simply disagree with the translator's intentions but lack the knowledge to form a coherent argument so you call it a "bad" translation me when I compare translations: lmao what a bad translation

great workshop/masterclass with Anton Hur coming up in collab w Workshops4Gaza - you get manuscript therapy with a critically acclaimed writer & translator, your fee helps raise money for Palestinians in Gaza - what's not to like?! workshops4gaza.com/calendar/manus…

I’m in this one! Come workshop with me!

If you’re planning fundraising events please consider giving money to the Sameer project. They’re providing direct support—food, water, medical—to hundreds per day, and they are reporting that they won’t be able to continue if donations don’t pick up. This is really worrying.

We’re also unsure for how much longer workshops for Gaza can continue, as we have gone from 20 or more signups per day to one or two. The amount of work it takes to put on these events simply doesn’t make sense if folks don’t come. Plz help with any ideas you have.

This year Bristol Translates is offering3⃣ #Spanish translation workshops! Join Rosalind Harvey and Annie McDermott for translation into English, and Carlos Mayor for our English into Spanish workshop!
