sometimes i feel very lonely and sad not really being super connected to any one community a.k.a. being very distant from basically anyone i know

and then other times i'm glad i don't super tie myself to specific communities because i kinda just. do my own thing 90% of the time

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.
