Finished 'Drive your plow over the bones of the dead'. Very surprising ending, not expecting the culprit to be who it was (won't spoil it though).
Main character translates on a casual basis with her friend who quits his job to be a full time #xl8or (not really a spoiler).
Anyone interested in #wildlife, animal rights, and the #environment will appreciate this novel.
Same author's 'Flights' up next (different translator) which has travel as a main theme. A fave topic of mine.
Probably the only good thing about #PhraseTM will no longer be available after October 2024.
"Job description:
A #translator in the livestock industry plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate #communication across #language barriers. They #translate #documents, #breeding, and #health, ensuring #terminology is precise."
I'd like very much apply, but even though I'm good #AF, I got no clue how to translate breeding and health. Documents, I can manage.

“We aim to help our customers and consumers save CO2 – for example by washing at lower temperatures or by switching to haircare products that do not need to be rinsed out and so do not require water to be heated up.“
If I get this right, my not rinsing out the shampoo will stop climate change and save the planet. Well done, #Henkel. Makes me wanna put a bullet through my head for translating that #PurposefulGrowth bullshit agenda of yours.
