i just looked it up and want to puke

at uni i was taught that interpreters must always remain neutral and never show any emotion, but believe me every single time a speaker goes "and thanks to the interpreters for their hard work" i stand up in my booth, beam my brightest smile and go 🫰🥰🫶🫰🫰🫶🥰🫶🫶🥰

its crazy. im about to be an interpreter at a conference on the use of ai systems by israeli military and intelligence services and as i was reading up on the topic i noticed the lack of that word

the fact that the word "sécuritaire" (obsessed with public safety to the point of going against personal freedoms) exists in french but not in english really showcases a deep difference between both cultures

oh and im the only interpreter for my language combination so ill have to do it in both directions without any breaks

teaching a 4h class then i have to rush to brussels to be an interpreter at a 3h long international conference on The War that i havent had the time to read up on yet

if u dont feel like throwing up thinking about the day ahead are u even having a day

i knew ud get it on account of you being the most based person i know

im monogamous when it comes to women but im pretty sure id be poly if i was w a boy bc men dont count as much

the moonsong > doctor > patient > another medium chain of inspiration is so fascinating

im starting to think maybe men dont even realise how hateful and scary the word bitch is

actually there is one newer colleague whose deal i never really knew but im almost certain shes at least bi and shes not active in the union but i saw her at a feminist march the other day and she said she wanted to become more politically active so its only a matter of time

including me there are as far as i know four unionists, three of whom are lesbians, with no lesbian whos not a unionist. and all of us are based.

at my workplace the venn diagram of "people who are active in the union" and "lesbians" is a flat circle with just one older dude as an outlier

oui on n'est pas passés par central pour une fois. par contre du côté de l'avenue louise c'était chaud, y a les flics qui ont nassé si proche de moi que si j'avais été 5m derrière je serais en détention maintenant

ah oui t'as pas bien choisi ton jour y avait 100k personnes dans les rues (j'y étais)

kinda but in a slower way. i need to analyse everything, including my emotions, and that takes time. with scorpios need to lock everything up, it can be really difficult to process then open up about how i feel, but i like my birth chart! it makes me super good and driven at what i do

oh wow! lots of tension in this one. strong emotions but a difficulty to assert them in public leading to a softer and thoughtful vibe that hides a strong core that you only show to people youre very comfortable around, right?
im a virgo sun, virgo moon, scorpio rising, also a weird one haha

oh hey youre on costar!! whats your birth chart?

i would say its a portemanteau of one acronym (ARPA) and a noun (network)

its funny how greens and blues were always easier compared to like pinks and purples

trop bieeeen

ça vous dirait qu'on se capte quand vous y êtes ?

im signing the paperwork on monday

called my union to ask who the rep for my college was and they said there wasnt one, so they asked me if i wanted to be the union rep and i said yes

nah youre right. truth be told i still sometimes say "putain" in french in the same way id use "fucking" in english but im trying to get used not to use it anymore

yess je comprends, mais quoi qu'il en soit tu verras c'est vraiment une chouette ville

ah mais je suis bête tu as mon numéro de téléphone et imessage c'est plus simple

ça marche tiens moi au courant !!! tu m'as sur discord ? diamnat

thank u for always being so based
