I wrote up my personal philosophy on translating ancient texts, as informed by being raised in a religious environment that had a very unhealthy relationship to its texts. https://xn--hmr.net/classicalchinese/translationphilosophy/

good morning to a cozy baby

unfortunately, I can’t take him to the park or station today, because while I can move with less extreme pain than a few days ago, committing to more than a few hundred meters is *cough* a bad idea.

Mila’s ear is starting to heal; her family asked us to bring Odin over because she’s depressed after being cooped up for a day and a half.

We were worried that being bitten by another dog would traumatize the playful spirit out of her, but after a moment’s hesitation where she waited for Odin to clearly initiate, all was well 🥰

What I have learned while studying Chinese:

1066 BC: King Horse-Ass Joe (this is literally the posthumous name he was “awarded”) is defeated, apparently because someone wrote Simplified place-names on his map

1066 AD: Hello Kitty bursts onto the stage of history by conquering England, and adds insult to injury by then claiming it is her homeland

(wikipedia gives his downfall as 1046 BC, but that’s less funny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di_Xin )
