How Supernaturals describe the D Family

[creatingblackcharacters]

It's always hard reading about the violence committed to steal America, but the buffalo is always like... That's some inhuman shit. Everyone is burning in hell for that one. Wdym there were thirty to sixty MILLION buffalo in 1800, and by 1900 there were only 300 left. THREE HUNDRED. Do you know, can you fathom the amount of purposeful cruelty required to kill NINETY NINE PERCENT of a population of an animal, just to spite and murder the living Native people who existed and thrived with them? All this, for White Power and Entitlement?? Sickening.

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

@bedupolker I hope you don't mind but I made a tabloid cover out of this

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Great, now I feel like I'm bird shaming. Congrats V9 on your new family!

A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

It's a bit of a shame that there are no amphibious creatures in the game at all, except as cut content

Nevertheless, when the reefbacks emerge, the organisms living on their backs become vulnerable, something predators would have successfully exploited.

If I may ask a Subnautica related inquiry, what do you think of the idea of Sea Treaders migrating across the sea floor like king crabs, like either to sites with food feeding areas such as seamounts or potentially to spawn? Imagine if there’s a portion of the Sea Treader Path biome that zigzags down the side of the seamount where the game takes place kind of like an underwater goat trail leading down to the abyssal plain.

Ooooh, I'd love to see that 👀 They could not only descend to the depths, but also emerge to the surface. During the new moon, for example, when it's at its darkest (considering where they walk, the lack of light isn't a problem for them at all). Due to their large size, they would stick out of the water in a safe shallow, from where the hatchlings would then return to the treader's path through the grassy plateaus 🤔 In any case, the spectacle would have been impressive, as the flock would have grown significantly. And such a large crowd would have frightened off other creatures (including leviathans).

Omg is that circle motion the sign for skyhook??? I love it 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 it's just like them

EVERYONE THINKS THIS BUT It MEANS YEAR

I've made up very very few signs for RttS, and the in-universe ASL for sky hook is probably just a compound word of SKY and HOOK like the English term

[cincodenada]

Ha! In a way I love this confusion, because it makes sense: the sign *does* reference a satellite orbiting a celestial body, but the satellite in question is Earth (around the sun) :) Many ASL signs are indeed gestural like that!

It also bums me out a bit because YEAR is one of the first signs you learn and is very recognizable, so if more folks knew just a little sign they'd recognize it! But, you can fix that! Handspeak (above) is an excellent resource, and here are some others I like:

LifePrint for learning - they have a TON of free resources, including a self-guided lesson plan with a TON of video lessons. It's good enough that it's literally what my community college classes (run by Deaf professors of course!) used as their curriculum.

Lingvano - DuoLingo-style app, built and used/recommended to me by the Deaf community, full of good sign videos to get you up to speed, and even an overenthusiastic hand mascot to make the experience feel truly DuoLingo-like. Paid beyond the intro course, but well worth it!

Queer ASL, if you're looking for something more interactive - signing *with* other people is super helpful, just as with any other language! Classes availble anywhere via Zoom (in-person are in the works), solid instructors and curriculum. I have done...five? classes with them and learned a TON. It's a proper class so not cheap, but they have a sliding-scale and scholarship options depending on your means, and all the instructors are Deaf *and* queer!

Check your local community college! They often have ASL classes available to the public in their Community Ed department, sometimes even online! I took my first two courses from PCC with Prof. Worthylake and he was great.

Whatever you choose, make sure your teachers or resources are in the Deaf community - the One Big Rule is, don't go paying hearing people to teach you ASL. A good ASL 101 class is as much Deaf history/culture as it is language. Any reputable community college should have Deaf professors, but I don't know what's going on in every corner of the world.

Also! If you want more ASL in really good comics (albeit less indie/scifi), check out Matt Fraction's run of Hawkeye - it leans into Hawkeye's background and hearing loss, and uses ASL in really interesting ways that really lean into the medium of comics, and add layers if you know a little sign. Very cool.

[jayrockin]

These are good ASL resources 👆

Though I'd also like to add, if you live outside the USA, check what sign language your local community uses. Even if you're in an Anglophone country, it might be very different than ASL. British Sign Language and its descendants (Auslan, South African SL, New Zealand SL) for instance don't resemble ASL, as ASL is part of the French sign language family.

If you want to learn sign, I highly recommend prioritizing your local sign language, because then you're more likely to have people to talk to with it!
