The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Hey uh I was cleaning up stuff and I found this coin in the packaging for something I think I bought second hand. It’s the same image on both sides. Searching for “Angel coin” online only made me more confused. What. What is this

Trans Awareness Week ends on Wednesday, and I’m one of many people who could use support to continue accessing the care they need. Consider supporting me, or the many trans cultural curators you follow, so that we can keep existing as who we are
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?
Does the Light Novel Translation Process Need AI?
