Support a translator of color!
This is an ongoing situation as of 2023.06.24.
My friend Yilin (she/they) does a lot (A LOT) of work translating literature from Chinese to English, among other things. And they allowed me to signal boost this on tumblr since she doesn't have one yet.
The beginning of the thread is here: https://twitter.com/yilinwriter/status/1670305203206385665 and all the tweet images below are not described because they are previews of direct links to the tweets.
Key points: The British Museum stole their translation work and used it, uncredited, in a major exhibit where they "appeared in photos on a giant display, on signage, in a physical guide, in a digital guide, in an audio guide, and in an app that is available for international download. How did NO ONE catch there was no credit?"
The response from the British Museum has been enormously disappointing so far:
"we will not be reinstating the translations in the exhibition that have been removed following your complaint, and therefore you will not be acknowledged in the exhibition as your work will not be featured" - except the uncredited translations are still in the 30,000 copies of the exhibition catalog.
Go check out more updates downthread as the situation develops.
Want to support Yilin?
"If you want to write to them or have written to the BM, you can help convey these demands of mine to them: - credit + public apology everywhere the work appears - proper payment (increased to account for lack of prior permission given & all the time the work was uncredited)"
Boost Yilin's book! "The Lantern & the Night Moths, an anthology of Chinese poetry that I selected & translated, featuring poets incl. Qiu Jin, accompanied by my essays on translation, forthcoming w/ @/invisibooks in Spring 2024"

I'll try to update as more things happen, or you can go camp out on the thread.
Please help a black bisexual autistic college student pay for the semester
It seems that my financial aid won’t cover as much any more per semester and I have an outstanding balance of 105$. If I don’t pay this off I will be dropped from all of my classes which I need in order to graduate.
I am taking writing commissions to help pay for this on my blog over here -> @rhythm-writes
(My carrd)
Any amount helps, I’m trying my best to stay afloat with everything going on in my life but this surprise was the last thing I needed.

Thank you so much! Even a little bit helps! I'm already getting a bit close to my goal!

I have something extremely important to say
My aunt’s dog has a paw print on his paw
The small little gasp I let out is heard universally when you view this picture
soooo I really don't wanna ask for help but I need to, I have like literally no money, and some people have tipped me on Tumblr (which I'm so grateful for) but it stays on hold for 7 days so I'm unable to access it rn. if anyone could please throw me like 20 bucks just so I can eat for a few days I would be immensely grateful 🥺
so I really don't want to ask for more help but the tips I got won't be coming in until after I get paid (Friday, June 30th). anything would be deeply appreciated
sorry himejoshi tumblr but this person using their yuri manga to spell out the kanji for yuri is living like one hundred years in the future
People sad about missing yuri day: depending on your time zone, you may not have! Yuri Day is June 25. Be sure to celebrate by (! main quest) reading yuri and (! side quest) kissing a girl

something that i feel epitomizes a major portion of this site's userbase is that blog from a while back called yourfaveissubmissiveandbreedable where one of the rules was 'male characters only please, saying that about a female character is misogynist'

I don’t really have anything to offer in exchange ATM, and I can’t promise anything, but once I’m more stable I can try and send you a print or two of some of my photographs as a thank you? I’m doing a BA in photography ATM, they’d all be printed by me on proper print paper! Just please make sure to include a discord username with whatever you decide to give if you want one!
