On Translating Proust and the Art of Not Reading Ahead
“It is a bummer to me that Proust occupies such a rarefied, even elitist, realm in the culture.”

Patch ArcanaHey so, I hear you guys don't like amazon.
Me, I do like books.
I don't like Amazon either.
So I've marked down the non-amazon prices of my books. And as an added bonus, the versions of the books purchased through any non-amazon vendor come without DRM.
They are about half-price (3.99 CAD)in e-Book form from Rakuten Kobo from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow.

Greenpeace InternationalThe eight plaintiffs from #Bonaire demand equal protection, and they demand the Netherlands to do their fair share in curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
These people are rising up for all of us - share their story now!
PrgauthierThey do not want you to see this video about October 7th.
The original tweet is being harshly suppressed on twitter. I tried to repost the file under my own account TWICE and twitter wouldn't let me. It "lost" the post both times.

Likely Jan LukasExcellent analysis. This reminds me very much of my early days as a communications professional, specialising in small business needs.
At the time, technological limitations (anf the skillsets needed to use professional-level prepress tools) meant that generally, most clients recognised the need for professional help with layout, design, and so forth.
But the *copy* (text) of whatever was needed? Clients overwhelmingly insisted they could write and would want to provide that content -- despite it generally being terrible for the intended use.
It took me a long time to figure out that many of them considered writing merely to be a functional thing that they already spent 12 years in school doing, so they 'must' already be experts.
There was zero understanding that graduating grade 12 is not the same as knowing, practising and developing the conventions, skills and techniques specific to writing for different genres and audiences, or in this case, target markets.
