Hi folks — I’m back on the job market and open to roles + freelance work in language and localisation. I work across Hindi, Odia, Bhojpuri, Magahi and Angika and over the last few years I’ve taught, translated, interpreted, edited, and generally helped people communicate better across contexts. 🧵

never have three coffees in a day

wow i still have this

65% of US veterans voted Trump despite him insulting them multiple times. An enigma. Doesn't happen in other democratic countries. A politician who disrespects a group pays the price during the next election. www.afge.org/article/trum...

not that any of care but I'm fully applying to shit so I can share posts of being selected to my story in hopes of him replying none of you have been this down bad.

Put me in a blender and mash the pulse button

Philosophy Tube has gone down the drain tbh

i don't think it's fair to call this a crush honestly আমি প্রেমে পড়েগেছি

On Women’s Day, wanted to share 2 quotes from Afghan women, in an interview with BBC news. Arshida: #Books are not just entertainment – they are a means of survival. Ala: I'm not calling for women to expose their heads, I want #freedom for our souls, minds and spirit. www.bbc.com/news/live/c0...

I've been trying to heal my extremely heavy baggage with animal crossing fishing and I don't think it's working chat

joke's on you I DID 'go cry about it' and compassion has made me more powerful

the day i can stay mad at this man for one full day is the day it'll be a cold day in hell.

there's a sense of catharsis that settles in once you've done your Duolingo session and extended your streak.

just removed all men from CF. I'm HEALING.

The State Department terminated its longstanding support for the University of Iowa's International Writing Program, which has existed since 1967 (involving 3 Nobel Prize winners). U Iowa's canceling several programs and searching for new funding sources. now.uiowa.edu/news/2025/03...

I fail to understand why I want this one (living in a whole different country) so bad when there are so many other options available to me in my city.

will delhi (or literally any place aggressively racist to Biharis for that reason) ever learn how to make a decent plate of samosa chaat? Ever.

These Bhasha verses compare Sher Shah Suri to a 'pralaya' (deluge) that washes away Humayun's rule. The 'balaheena baalaka' (helpless child) Akbar manages to survive by staying afloat on a 'banyan leaf' ('akshaya-vata ko paata').

Recently someone challenged me to draw Sharon Apple from Macross Plus in some sexy lingerie. Never let it be said that I don't give the fans what they're asking for!!! #macross #macrossplus #マクロス #sharonapple #macrossfanart #sharonapplefanart

actually y'know what i do not like this man anymore i think the piece of shit is breadcrumbing me.

I've always had a deep disdain for Bhartendu Harishchandra because he is perhaps the biggest reason for the political state of North and Eastern India today but finding out that the piece of shit didn't even write a good chunk of his work has made me actually hate his guts.

once again i haven't eaten until 6 and now I'm thinking I'll just eat after 6:18 in solidarity and what not.

My phone is almost dead but I won't stop posting, I can't stop posting. I'll never stop posting.

I deeply despise men actually

This is the problem. He has lore that's the problem.

I need something good on my TL this morning. What are your favorite speculative short stories and poems from 2024? Can be what you've nominated for various awards or just something you loved. Gimme some links!

Well, I said I wasn't buying the new Sims 4 expansion. That was a lie! I am buying it right now. Because if my life has to be a nightmare of suck then at least I can make things fun for some digital NPCs.

I honestly think this insanity is all just ovulation. Once I'm not ovulating it'll pass. I mean it hasn't passed in some 4 months or so and it only grows but I'm confident it'll pass. If it doesn't I just learn one more language.

I hate modern dating my game plan is to write him a letter in blood.

working on three translation projects simultaneously to avoid thinking about one 5'11 fool who sends me voice notes of him singing trashy songs.

now watching

I'm incredibly sorry to all of you. I promise I am a very intelligent young woman it's just that I might be in love.

Now reading two serendipitous finds. #1 put up by library staff. #2 a strong rec by @sheevaangii.bsky.social

it should be a criminal offence to turbo yap your way into a girl's heart and then retreat like nothing happened. sir if you did not intend on marrying me why did you send me voice notes of you singing tandoori nights.

this site seems to be my only resort considering this is the only one this man doesn't use and my thoughts are plagued by him.

Absolutely insane to be having the hair I once used to write love poems about... Loose curls cascading down shoulders fluttering in the wind??? Feeling like a flower only everyone say mashallah

Rereading this absolute banger (Mort) and wonderfully pleased that this is dedicated by Terry Pratchett "to Rhianna." In a less politically fraught world I would have learned about her existence from her work and not that she's one of the few non-disowned trans daughters of famous people, but well.

Swifties (Maoist Tendency)

I'll consider it a win if I can use glycolic acid twice a week every week all of next year

the most literature divorced crowd is having the most aggressive conversation about Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey on the other app.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Not to be a dooner but I'm convinced 2025 is going to suck as well
