as always the best initial move is a consultation with your deities about what would be the most effective, given our goals. “Show me the route that will liberate people in my lifetime.”

i personally the literal translation as a methodology, because it forces me as a translator to see what i am doing at every point, ask why i am doing it this way, to confront where i am interpreting instead of moving mechanically, to make me subordinate myself to the text. i am not the author.

it's true that "literal translations" are difficult to read. this isn't a negative. it's an entirely neutral fact of how we engage with a text. it's simply a requirement for a different way of reading, and one that opens up new aesthetic and empathetic possibilities for the reader.

you'd think reconciling biblical text with OTHER people's practices would be trickier (idolaters and whatnot)
but nah the answer is compassion
usually is

Idk I guess my tepid take is “if modernity renders your curriculum pointless and dull, change the curriculum” don’t handwring about how children won’t submit to boring tasks they could avoid.
We give kids easy versions of work because they lack the cognitive capacity to manage large amounts of info

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

The only way to maintain any kind of sanity as a public figure is to actively avoid places where you and your work are being discussed. Human beings were not made for the volume of feedback the internet is capable of providing.
if anyone ever makes fun of me in a discord chat, please do not show it to me, I prefer to live in my bimbo bliss and I think it’s okay for people to not like me because I am annoying
