![The image depicts a bustling urban street scene, likely from the early to mid-20th century based on attire and architecture. A diverse group of people is gathered outside an "International Employment Agency," suggesting they are seeking work or receiving assistance with job placement. The agency's signboard indicates it offers services in various languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Yiddish, Armenian, Russian, Persian, Greek, Bulgarian, Chinese, German, and Italian.

The crowd consists mainly of men wearing hats indicative of early 20th-century fashion, including fedoras, bowlers, and suits.

Who wants a Palestrina mass in #Bulgarian folk sound? It's far from everything you know and love as a #Baroque aficionados, but it's definitely a gorgeous experiment! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRfq3k59ZrI
I hate #Bulgarian highways.
Official speed limit is 140, everyone drives with 160, the state of the roads doesn't warrant anything above 110, nor does the state of most cars.
Lorries are limited to 90 but the highways only have 2 lanes, which means that there's always a 70km/h difference between the slow lane and the fast lane.
Also, Bulgarians are shit drivers. Total shit. Zero respect for anyone else on the road. Solipsists.

At a conference, I met a businessman who was using #Thunderbird for his call center crew. All of the installs are with the #Bulgarian #localisation. That's a great story on why the #foss software should have quality translations.
#Bulgarian translation of Nerian's answer on Stack Overflow to "Git rebase loses history, then why rebase?"

I like this answer but I still hate git rebase
Do I have any #Bulgarian-speakers among my esteemed followers who could help me double-check a Bulgarian Cyrillic-to-Latin #transliteration?
In #bulgarian language, negation is very subtle. We say:
"не ПРАВИ това" (don't DO that)
which is very similar to:
"наПРАВИ това" (DO that)
The negating word "NOT" is almost never stressed, and unlike English, it's weird to say "DON'T do that". Here's a few more examples:
"това не БИВА да се ПРАВИ" (this should not BE DONE)
"тук не СЕ ЯДЕ" (here you DO not EAT)
It doesn't help that the "NOT" is often pronounced quickly and/or with a schwa sound.
I am very happy to share that, thanks to Literature Ireland, I will be translating into #Bulgarian the novel "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Irish author Roddy Doyle.
The novel won the Booker Prize in 1993. I don't remember exactly why the book grabbed my attention, but after I finished reading it, I just had to convince my publisher to get the translation rights 
Here's a little something by Roddy Doyle himself about how he came to write Paddy:
