if you see somebody shoplifting, no you didn't.

and i only started in print media 4 years ago...

did some math and realized I've now translated 80 books (manga and LNs) not all have been published yet, but that's still a lot. and at the rate I've been going, I might hit 100 by the end of the year.

"but sarah, i thought you were slowing down this year--" manga. i'm translating way more manga now. those go much faster 😅

I've been living in Portland for 2 years now.

if the wisdom of straight white guys with undeserved confidence is to be believed, the Secret to Success is to keep putting yourself out there... sorry to disappoint, but I'm meek af and rarely put myself out there, yet i've fallen ass-backwards into success time and time again.

There's still one slot open to translate the Witch Hat Atelier OP for feedback in a video! Only $5 to participate. I wanted to keep this accessible to as many people as possible. Translations are due August 1st, so there's still plenty of time.

can’t answer that prompt about which of your favs is the most problematic because if a fictional character isn’t at least a LITTLE bit problematic, they’re often just… boring
