It's really hard, I usually can recognize the translator when I find the manga I'm looking for. I primarily only read romance, and the unfortunate thing is the sites get shut down so quickly, so honestly I try to look on Reddit and really deep dive on Google to find them.

Not to mention there's some mangas that like won't get an English publishing for the US because it's not popular here. And so then that's where the translators really help because they'll publish the scans for us that are interested but don't live in Japan.

They can pry me pirating manga out of my dead cold hands, it's what raised me, it's what shaped me. I'm not giving up my favorite translators for overpriced shit from the bookstore.

Also some people don't realize depending on the translator, you can tip for their work.

I spent almost a decade getting a care team that cares for me and they are gonna be stripped away.

I'm having so many medical issues and I have so many appointments that were planned for next month and the next year and now I might not access to them and I need them to care for my spina bifida. I am sobbing.

so we're trying to scramble with my care team to figure out what to do because I'm about to lose all of my doctors. And I just can't get myself to be live right now, especially because today woke up with the bed bug bites. And it's just too much right now.

today's bites are 3. two on my hand one under my chin.

the last time i was bit was this past friday on my leg. the bite before that was my face the week before. miserable
