after writing and drawing the third skill of making comics is weathering the slog, and ultimately finishing it, and this is the hardest and most important part lmao. and needs to be practiced just as hard as the other two. and you’ll get better at the other two by practicing the third

Walter Benjamin wrote that the work of translation is “to liberate the language imprisoned in a work" to find the “pure language” of “the unfathomable, the mysterious, the ‘poetic’”. This is all, of course, utterly anathema to AI
As a multiple language speaker it's also frustrating to see people using AI for translation because the English speaking world tends to treat translators like workers for hire instead of co authors of text and this feels like more of it. Translation at the literary level is creative work.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

this is the realest shit ever posted and when you become a parent you spend a lot of time internally screaming about it
People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.

"Found In Translation" 490 pcs., 15"x15"x1", 2 layers, D: 9.8/10 - this was the trickiest puzzle commission of the year, hands down. I am pretty good at cutting weird tiny shapes but doing 200+ hieroglyph drop-outs and keeping all the surrounding pieces nice and connected was a real challenge.
