I've looked at a lot of resumes for aspiring translators and everytime I notice they have the relevant experience but they don't make it clear, meaning vendors are more likely to overlook them as potential freelancers. Here's some resume advice if you're looking for freelance translation work.

Transgender Men's Studies by Shuji Akira 🔥

2023 has been one of the most difficult years in my life. Unfortunately, last night, it got a lot harder. Now, I need a miracle: I need kindness and mutual aid so that I can care for myself and finally recover & rest.

I honestly shed a tear when BG3 won GOTY. Very well-deserved!

Reminder: Applications for the Short-Term Research Grant in the History of Japanese Sexualities, established in memory of Mark McLelland though the Association for Asian Studies, are due Oct. 3. www.asianstudies.org/grants-award...

Just had a nightmare that I broke NDA... The horror

This looks like a great opportunity for anyone ready to make the next step in their translation journey. And while I can't vouch for the program personally since I've never taken part, I recognize the names of many of the talented translators listed as mentors. Definitely worth checking out!

Forgotten to even look at this since I got it, whoops...

Blessing my new account with kitty and puppy 💕
