I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

Looking for a human translator to convey your human words to a human audience? Maybe that's me!
I translate from Swedish, French, Norwegian and Danish into English (mainly UK but US possible depending on the text - I also work with a USian translator as a team where required). I'm a full Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting for both Swedish and French.
I'm also an Intermediate Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading – in other words, I offer proofreading/editing/copyediting services too.
Oh, and copywriting!
I work on everything from press releases through sustainability reports to novels. Particularly fond of archaeology/history (got to get use from my MA somehow) and personal development, but really I'm interested in almost everything and translation allows me to be a nerd about all kinds of things.
The subjects I *don't* do are legal, financial and medical.

I feel like this needs a pic, so here are two of my three cats looking comfy (if a bit warm).

The "bloody hell, my life isn't what I thought it was" post that has its origins here on Mastodon a couple of weeks ago. I already knew that everyone I'd interacted with since 1989 had been impacted by @lorry – I just wasn't aware of an even more weird aspect of the story!

Felt cute. Not only am I damned well not going to delete it later, I'm going to use it for all my profile pics from now on!
