Deze cartoon van @anntelnaes.bsky.social werd geweigerd door de Washington Post, de krant die gekocht is door Jeff Bezos. De maker heeft ontslag genomen omdat ze vindt dat vrije pers een voorwaarde is voor de democratie. Wat als we deze cartoon vandaag eens massaal verspreiden?

Author and translator David Mitchell on translation: "Translators rock."

Of course, we already knew that... 💪😉

This is my debut as a translator. The exercise has confirmed my long-held suspicion that my translators are three times cleverer than me, with a better command of English as well as the 'into-language,' plus a knowledge of the mysterious art and science that is translation itself. As a writer I can be bad, but I can't be wrong. A translator can be good, but can never be right. Translators are jugglers, diplomats, nuance-ticklers, magistrates, word-nerds, self-testing lie detectors, and poets. Translators rock.
