I am a full-time German to English translator. This blog is my creative outlet to share my knowledge and random musings. Despite the title of my blog, I am generally available for translation work – even if there might be a delay of a few days. You can contact me at gertoeng AT jill-sommer.com.

Noone can possibly believe they were depicting The Feast of Dionysus. Go look at the picture, and then the painting, and then the Last Supper, and then tell me to which is closer. This is gaslighting to the enth degree by angry people who can’t create anything, so instead they must deface everything. Shame on you.
I am getting angry at all the manufactured anger on the Right, so I’m with you! Now they are upset about boxing. It must be tough being so angry all the time. What a miserable existence.
Well, yes, I also get angry when men hit women!
I have high levels of testosterone too due to my PCOS. Does that make me a man too? I sincerely doubt there is a conspiracy in the Olympics pushing an “agenda.” Athletes have been subject to doping tests for years and disqualified. Last year, the IOC formally stopped recognizing IBA as a governing body, replacing it with the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit. The Algerian boxer is not transgender. What would you like them to do – flash their genitals to prove something? The IOC uses their government-issued passport. This is so stupid.
