@FluentMundo @HexPositive Nathy Peluso is another example! But I guess my interpretation was “Salsa is dead” which is obviously far from the truth. Maybe I was just seeing everything through a filter of why are two white dudes interviewing Bad Bunny in English lol

@saffrontrans @HexPositive Tbh I think that question is kind of fair! There hasn’t been a huge amount of recent innovative engagement with salsa gorda outside of indie people like iLe… people still dance to and play salsa obviously but not much action in the pop sphere

Not the new Bad Bunny album opening with a sample of El Gran Combo's ode to Nueva York! And when I predicted a salsa revival they didn't believe me... open.spotify.com/track/5TFD2bmF…

@FluentMundo @HexPositive When one of them says, “Did you feel there were Puerto Rican sounds that were ripe for modernizing? Like, salsa hasn’t been brought into the future” lmao. Hopefully they hire someone who has an ounce of context next time 🙈 Your interview in 2020 was so much richer.

@HexPositive I understand it wasn’t a discussion podcast, it was an artist interview! But in moments like this you really feel the gringo monopoly on music journalism, how much it impoverishes us all

@RguezDeusPili And how was the translation? 😬

@FluentMundo I hired @jacksonsusie to create a custom Excel for me that tracked every single detail I needed/wanted to track for my business. It made everything, including taxes, so much smoother. And it was actually pleasant to use. (Past tense only because I’m no longer freelancing!)

do any of you use any of those budgeting apps and if so which are simplest / most user friendly… assume zero literacy :-)

ok i finally formed an LLC and opened a business account so i don’t have to handpick my expenses/deductions from my bank and credit card statements every year like the princess counting grains in rumpelstiltskin… any other tips for staying financially organized as a freelancer?

@sahorcas Could it also have to do with a general drop in interest in investing in higher ed, esp. combined w/ the low barrier to entry for T&I practitioners, who realistically don’t need a degree? I realize the barrier may change with advances in AI, and this could affect all professions.

@ProfKarolSikora Grammar correction in brackets for accuracy/clarity: “Evidence behind their use is questionable at best, even [more] so when people wear flimsy and filthy bits of cloth - often not properly.”

I respectfully disagree - it's definitely not the time to start wearing masks again. Variants will come and go, that's the nature of these viruses - masking up whenever a new one arrives will mean we never unmask. The health service will always be under pressure in winter, it always has been. Evidence behind their use is questionable at best, even less so when people wear flimsy and filthy bits of cloth - often not properly. Masks are a symbol of fear, used as a tool to terrify the population. I don't want to see them widely used again by the general public... Not forgetting the adverse effects on those with disabilities or the elderly, and especially young children whose development is severely impacted by even those around them wearing masks. Never mind actually forcing toddlers to mask up all day, which I think is truly unforgivable. I don't want to live in a dystopian world where we can't see each other's smiles. Wear a mask if you choose, that is up to you, but please leave the rest of us to make our own decisions.

@metro_madrid @CVBPatry ¿Desde Avda. de América en sentido Pitis sí circulan?

@CVBPatry Sí, los trenes no continúan circulando desde Cartagena en sentido Estadio Metropolitano.

🔴 Circulación interrumpida en L7 entre Estadio Metropolitano y Cartagena, en ambos sentidos, por causas técnicas. Tiempo estimado de solución más de 1 hora.

@translator_terp I’m registered too! Looking forward to it and coinciding with you virtually ☺️

I just took a deep breath and registered for this. See you there?

Update: I'm silly and forgot to record points from #ATA62, which now puts me at 25. But now that I got the idea of Miami in my head...

@TimG_translator The Spaniards have great digestion.

@RSchiaffino @vero_demi @mszampaulo 😂 I’m working on it little by little!

@saffrontrans @vero_demi @mszampaulo You can always try turning over 60… worked for me 🤓

Just realized my ATA certification renewal is due in less than a year and I have a sizable gap before reaching my 20 points. Any continuing education recommendations? 🙃 Also, maybe see you at #ATA64?! @vero_demi @mszampaulo

@OSingier @vero_demi @mszampaulo Very exciting!

@saffrontrans @vero_demi @mszampaulo I am! I may submit a proposal😉

@JD_F1_ @maariadess 33. Mejor garito de Lavapiés

@maariadess 33. Treinta y Tres. 1.- Numero después del 32 y antes del 34. 2.- El sueño esquizofrénico de todo Alonsista en Twitter y en el mundo. 33.- La que va después de España 2013.

Que es lo de como que 33??

@OSingier @vero_demi @mszampaulo Oh, thank you, Olivia! I'm seeing more affordable options on American and Iberia from Madrid for now, but I'll keep French Bee in mind if prices go up! Good insider tip. 🙏 Are you planning to attend?

@saffrontrans @vero_demi @mszampaulo If you’re ready to have a stop, French Bee has a Paris-Miami flight now (from Paris Orly, not everyday, but prices are reasonable)

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo I'm already too excited to scratch the idea! 😉 Might even brainstorm a potential proposal. Thanks, Karen!

@saffrontrans @vero_demi @mszampaulo Yay! Now don't let this stop you from coming to the conference. ;)

@vero_demi @mszampaulo Thank you, Veronika! You’re the best. Great idea to sift through existing webinars. I’ll keep an eye out for announcements of new ones, too!

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo But now that you mention it, Karen, I was able to scrounge up 13 points from articles, editing, and presentations I've done over the last couple of years! Thanks for pushing me to think of those 🥰

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo Yes, there are other ways to earn points! I just feel more like continuing ed these days. 😊

P.S. I live in Spain, so online events are best.
