THX to the deaf research faculty that were brave enough to stand up & share their struggles & triumphs in academia at ##TISLR15. They were honest & unapologetic in explaining the inequities they face in academia & by interpreters. Wish there could be an entire Symposium dedicated to this topic.

If you start “TV off” exactly at 11:57:55 on New Year’s Eve, Kendrick will yell “MUSTARDDDDDD” as soon as you enter 2025.

With all the hype about Hearview glasses..Hearview glasses provide voice-to-text on lenses for $1,399 (discounted from $1,999)Many Deaf influencers share emotional unboxing videos with promo code, but the real question is who is Hearview, and what are their true motives and integrity?

Possibly the most profound thing she's ever said.

While many of us have embraced Bluesky, it seems accessibility issues have been overlooked. Anyone know if @bsky.app are working on addressing this?

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Sign linguist: notes that Auslan, BSL, and ASL all have lexical signs that can tell you if the signer views the cup as half ‘full’ or ‘empty’ but that signers can also use depicting signs to show how much liquid actually is in the cup.

Yep, it’s not sound proof but then idaF. Own that noise pollution lol

Are we not past the point when sign languages were not considered full linguistic systems?

Many good principles laid out here, but #7, deaf leadership in sign language AI projects, is really the most critical. In the USA, there are now many qualified deaf researchers to lead this work. If it’s too hard to find European counterparts, then folks need to prioritize capacity building.

Stop assuming Deaf people can’t do anything because of “communication barriers” because like… ??? Deaf people have always been able to find multiple ways to communicate. You just don’t wanna do anything other than speak.. the barrier is YOU in those situations.
