Always a fun week!

Some very exciting news from @commapress and Bristol Translates 2025. Open to translators from #Chinese, #Japanese and #Urdu, winners of the Comma Press Emerging Translator Award will be considered for an upcoming anthology! Applications for #BT2025 are still open.

An unlicensed copy of the censored BBC film "Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone" has been uploaded to French video sharing platform Dailymotion: https://t.co/KMiozQIzFY

What does one say about the US press conference on Gaza? As an American, I find this appalling, but not surprising. US should help rebuild Gaza, bc we supplied and continued supplying weapons for this destruction, despite knowing what was happening. But rebuild for Palestinians.

...and also, even if we start with Arabic and English, you can bring in whatever else you want. We can be radically multilingual!

Come hear me and others talk about translation, and participate in a translation workshop focusing on Arabic, English, and poetry! No Arabic needed, although very welcome at any level; all you need is interest :)

📣 #translation students: Check out this #fullyfunded #PhD opportunity at @ctismanchester. @UoMSALC @uomhums @OfficialUoM

Shocking news from Cardiff, with proposals to cut 400 jobs and courses in ancient history, modern languages and translation, music, nursing, and theology. Solidarity with all colleagues there as they contest these plans. https://t.co/dWrjFsT6OS

This is made clear further down the thread, but you do not need to know Arabic to participate!

I hope the ceasefire can be the start of actual peace and rebuilding for the humans affected by this conflict. It's hard to know what to say. Let the bombing never start again, let people be allowed to live in dignity. Let the necessary work be done now.

I should also maybe add: get in touch and tell me what (if any) new email we should use for you :)

(Or email or telegraph or messenger pigeon) Also, feel free to pass this on to anyone else you think might not see it on here. @henry_jones400 @MonaBaker11 @LuisPerezGonz11 @SaldanhaViva @SamehHanna4 @Neil_Sadler ...

Calling all @ctismanchester PhD grads (any year)! We're updating our website, including the listing of past PhD students, and our own contact information for getting in touch with past grads! If you did NOT get an email from me today but want to stay in touch, please reply or DM!

OK, so I'm definitely behind the times, but so annoyed to see that @Skype has gotten rid of Skype Credit! Bring it back! :)

My parents are getting an absolute run-around from @ATT- two months without service, told contradictory things when they call, constantly told "all you need is this", but then it's not, told it'll be back by a particular date, but then it's not... Shame on you, @ATT.

My roundtable on creating visibility and recognition of TIS and languages (and the programmes associated with them) in HE starts after the coffee break... #APTIS2024... Have a great conversation, and let me know what you talk about! Would have loved to be there. :P

So sorry to be missing @APTIS_UKI 2024 at @Warwick hosted by @Warwick_Transla... Hopefully there will be a hashtag and I'll try to follow!
