"being a human is so boring why can't I be one of the COOL animals" okay hey. I hear you. but I actually really super love being an omnivorous persistence hunting primate with a stomach capable of dissolving many literal poisons and the ability to smell geosmin (released in the soil after it rains) at five parts per trillion. I super enjoy being a bipedal terrifyingly agile mammal with some of the most efficient sweat glands in the animal kingdom. I find a lot of joy in being an endotherm with mimicry abilities that rival most other animals with vocal chords. it's sick as hell I'm having a lot of fun

hi everyone!! I would super appreciate it if people didn't share their grievances on this post.

I've seen a LOT of negative tags along the lines of "no but I hate having joint pain", "no but I want a tail and fluffy ears", "no but capitalism sucks". I wrote this post after YEARS of hating this body (and years of chronic pain. I feel you!! but chronic pain is not exclusive to humans!) because I was finally able to convince myself that being a human is something I can celebrate. if you carefully re-read the post, you'll also find that nowhere do I mention human society or economic systems! this is entirely about our physical adaptations.

I also want a tail and fangs etc but with this being tumblr, there are dozens of popular posts out there expressing that exact sentiment that you should go and reblog [: please let this post exist on its own! I want this to be a space for delighting in what we have, because what we have is pretty extraordinary.

yes. being a human is the best thing ever.

Once again, the yearly Godspeed You! Black Emperor fan server compilation is out, this time I’ve helped handling it!

Over 4 hours of music, 5 incredible pictures, all of this made by very cool people (whomst I am amongst).

Every money made by this will go directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, so don’t hesitate to buy it if you can (it’s a free release otherwise), you’ll get a cool album with it, win-win.

The 5 tracks I’ve worked on, respectively my solo track, my track with Fizz for Ailes de Foudre, my collab with Proc, my collab with gvid and finally my collab with Taco (that’s a lot)

It is a common misconception that the USA is much larger than the countries of Europe. "It takes forever to cross America in a car," Americans say. "Europeans can cross their countries in two hours."

In truth, scale comparison of the USA and Europe is as follows:

It is seen that the USA is a bit smaller than France. The real reason it takes a long time to travel anywhere in the USA is that American cars are shittier than European cars, and thus take longer to get anywhere.

something I like about translation is how, if somebody dedicatedly translates a work and then writes their own thing afterwards, you can watch them inherit motifs and themes from it on a deeper level than if they'd just been influenced by it, like their own writing now exists in continuity with it

which happens for pretty self explanatory reasons, of course. if you spend that much time trying to recreate intent between two languages, you're inevitably going to be (on at least some level) really grappling with why someone wrote something, then following that by writing it yourself. it's just really cool how you can internalise something so deeply that you effectively absorb a chunk of someone else's creative history into your own life

translation yeeeee that's why I love my job...
