I work with a lot of material from the 30’s so I thought this 1935 Japanese phrase book would be a great way to see how contemporary phrases were translated and OH BOY

It’s a small, fiddly book to get good photos of and there’s currently no copy of this available online, if people are interested I can attempt to digitise it.

I read your other book, Ikigai, from cover to cover when I got it as a gift. I started it in good faith but I found it to be orientalist, racist, and condescending. So I do not trust that these issues have been fixed in your next book, seeing as the branding is the same.

It had this one small section on ‘Chinese’ but nothing on hiragana, katakana - I guess it was mostly aimed at people who needed to speak Japanese but not write it?

Yes, this. The use of cutesy little phrases like "bit frazzled" is supposed to look casually charming to an online audience. It's so fake.

Estrogen? I think you'll find that this was originally a pagan hormone celebrating the goddex Ostaragen. It disguises itself as a Christian hormone but actually has much deeper roots into traditional feminisation rituals, hence the eggs. Traditionally, an egg represents a trans-

They could have turned this around. They could have apologised, and paid you, and given you the credit of having your work used in a national exhibit - but they didn’t. Your work was only good enough for them when you didn’t have a voice. It’s expoiltation in its purest form.

And so the appintment was the GP asking if I "felt ok" and offering anti-anxiety meds. I literally held up a blood soaked towel and he did nothing. Went back a week later with a much more severe infection. Saw a woman this time who was also angry on my behalf. 2/2

Wow, so they're repurposing the language of consent to further demonise trans folks, by comparing their existence in gender segregated spaces to sexual assault? That's so sinister.

In Britain your guest will stand there with their hands on their hips and sorta admire a random wall and this is your cue to say ‘would you like a tour?’ and then they reply ‘yes, sure, lead the way!’
You also have to say ‘sorry about the mess!’ even about the rooms you cleaned

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Meat-Shaped Stone? I think about it often.
Made during the Qing dynasty from banded jasper, the naturally occuring layers in the stone have been exploited to create the illusion of braised pork belly.
