I turned 39 this year, which means I am still 30 or 40 years old. I studied literature and linguistics, but the linguistics part killed me at 19, so I dropped out and became an English teacher instead. I worked as a teacher on and off for a while, and I've also done editing, translating and transcription work.
For the past few years I've had a data scraping job that has nothing to do with anything I studied and that takes 0 mental effort. It would be the best job in the world if it didn't pay peanuts.
I have two younger brothers, both married with children. I used to babysit my niece and nephew (7 & 4) a lot, but they moved a 2 hour drive away last month, so I am free.
I consume a lot of media bc I've been at my job for long enough it takes like a third of my brain to do it. Unfortunately during work hours I can only consume media in a language I can understand, and if it's TV it has to be the kind with lots of repetitive exposition bc I do have to look at my laptop.
I am into JJK and MHA and try to read new chapters as soon as they're out on the official app. Those are my two animes currently, tho live action One Piece has intrigued me enough to watch some of the anime.
I don't do much politics on plurk, except next year we have a presidential election here, and there will also be one in the US, so there will 100% be some splash damage.
