I'm seeking input for an essay I'm writing on literary translation. Looking for folks to contribute statements on the #1 thing they'd like to see change in publishing (any aspect), translation itself, or even reading. I'd love to include as many names as possible in this piece!

Yes, people will get fired for maliciously misgendering people and using incorrect names. This applies regardless of whether the person subjected to this form of bullying is cisgender or transgender.

Zoom power tip from a library worker who just wants you to have an easy time responding when shushed:
Go to settings, keyboard, mute/unmute.
Assign a keyboard shortcut you don't use in other apps.
Check "Global".
Your mute shortcut now works even when Zoom isn't in focus đ¤đĽł
