Since moving to Japan, I've relied too much on the convenience of Google Translate & Deepl. Here are a couple of my favorites: a sign for produce at the supermarket, a note in the parents' Line group about upcoming wellness checks, and IMDB's (translated) localization for the film Girl, Interrupted.

LOL... I can't remember exactly when I took this screenshot, but I do love to look at it from time to time and laugh at that human trashcan talking about those who have peed in his body.

Teaching my 9th graders how to write thesis statements. All of them had good ideas for what they want to write about, but they're having a hard time forming quality sentences. Hope I can help them improve before our upcoming two-week break when they will no doubt forget everything. 🫠

I’m fairly certain they do exist, though maybe not on the scale of academy awards. I know there are smaller awards specifically for motion graphics. I believe the se7en titles did receive accolades. Wish I could find it now (I’m on a train, so I’ll have to look it up later).

I feel like it's 2012 whenever I see photos of fall foliage or puppies sitting in a pumpkin patch on tumblr.

Unfortunately, by bedtime, my daughter had a fever of 39° and a terrible headache. Got her some medicine and let her sleep on the couch in the living room. Read a bit and she fell asleep after tossing and turning. Hope she wakes up feeling better tomorrow.
