I was hooked by the drawing room scene btw Newland and Ellen at the end of book 1. 🏹
It reminded me (plot function-wise) of the drawing room scene in the middle of P&P where Darcy proposes (terribly) to Lizzy the first time.

So disappointed. 💔
I mean, I didn't think it was going to be good news with the length of time the investigation was taking, but this is...bad.

Two Major League Baseball pitchers have been indicted on charges they took bribes to give bettors advance notice of the types of pitches they'd throw and intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes.

the only "honor" Watson's getting from me is that i've built a lab full of outstanding students who are everything he hated: Black, Indigenous, female, trans, queer, neurodivergent, disabled, immigrant, and beyond.
he might be what the past of our field looks like- but the future looks like my lab.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

GoFundMe for Marta, the woman I filmed being forcefully detained in SLC airport. She is a mother of four and has a work permit legal through 2029. She and her sister were given no reason for her arrest, no due process. She needs funds to help defend herself.
PLEASE SHARE: GoFundMe for Marta, who was wrongfully detained at SLC airport even though she has a legal lawful work permit valid through 2029. Link to English translation will follow. Anything helps!

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

Those who have read this before, am I ever going to like Newland Archer? He's just pompous and self-absorbed and this is going to be a tedious book for me if I dislike the main character lol 🏹 At least Lovelace was a clever bastard!

Farmworkers in Oxnard, CA are harvesting marigolds just in time for #DiaDeLosMuertos. The marigold is sometimes called Flor de Muerto (“Flower of the Dead”). These flowers are thought to attract the souls of the dead to the offerings and ensure eternal peace.
