Yes!! I'm answering on a separate post cause submissions act weird on tumblr but @room-surprise​ actually brought that to my attention recently.

Namari and Daya are from two different places that aren’t even that close to each other, like you said they're on opposite shores of the continent

So in the original Daya's profile says "ナマリと同族の、ドワーフの女性" which google translates as “A dwarf woman of the same race as Namari.“ from what I could gather the keyword here is “同族“ which was really hard for me to figure out the meaning (google translates as “Cognate“) but what shows up is “Same Family / Race / Tribe / Type” so there is a meaning of same tribe in there but the word used for dwarf clans is 氏族 in Namari’s extra and the word for tribe is 一族 in Daya's

I think 一族 as it was used in Daya's probably translates better as family (blood related?) than tribe, but again: I am basically a newbie in japanese I don't know

Anyway Yen Press translates both 同族 and 一族 as tribe so it makes it seem like Namari is from the same tribe they talk about at the start of Daya's extra?? which is isn't at all.

They both share the kanji 族 which this site tells me means this

On reading compounds 族 【ゾク】 tribe, clan, band, family, (taxonomical) tribe, group (of the periodic table)

So by context and usage I think what that phrase is saying is basically "Daya is a dwarf woman the same as Namari" or "of the same kind (race) as Namari" or "of the same group (dwarves) as Namari"

And that's how EHScans translated it

This is all over the place as usual and if you're good at japanese please help (maybe I'm wrong) but hopefully you see that you can't fully trust yen press

Parks patron: hey what are you gonna do about that graffiti?

Me: it's on the side of a business building, so the business owner has to take initiative

Patron: but it's visible from the trails!

Me: it is not on our property, so it falls on the owner of the business.

Patron: don't you have a graffiti task force?

Me: no, sir.

Patron: when I lived in Georgia we had a graffiti task force that would take care of that.

Me: we do not have that here.

Patron: you'd think the parks and rec people would take care of graffiti in their parks.

Me: we do. This is not on a park. It is on a business.

Every day I live in fear that my favorite animals will become the cute thing of the year and be distorted by corporations into something unrecognizable. Like the tragic axolotl. Put on book fair glitter pens and cheap tshirts. Only the giant eyed “adorable” version available anywhere. So unrecognizable that the public, once ignorant, now knows its name yet can’t identify the beautiful creatures in their natural form

Hey did u see that brazilian jazz nominee who was denied a seat at the grammys vip area and had to sit apart from the other artists 🙁 the news got overshadowed by everyone's faves winning (or not winning) but it was a massive disrespect for milton nascimento (the nominee) and the country as a whole

holy shit no i did not know this straight up despicable and xenophobic

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

Feb 4, 2025 - Thousands of Los Angeles high school students walked out of class and marched on the city capitol in third straight day of Anti-ICE protests. (Source)

PROTESTS ARE HAPPENING. THEY ARE JUST NOT BEING COVERED OUTSIDE OF LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. DO NOT RELY ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

There was a huge Trans-rights demonstration last night in New York outside of NYU Langone hospital in protest of their decision to halt gender-affirming care under Trump's order. (Source)

whelp, in National Park news, every seasonal LE park ranger just got their summer job offers rescinded, and other emergency services like EMTs/medics/fire probably aren't too far behind.

A lot of natural resources gonna get destroyed and a lot of people gonna die in preventable ways. I highly recommend you call your reps, and meanwhile go support your favorite county/city/state park this summer instead.
