I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

[raginrayguns]

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

[manyblinkinglights]

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes.

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore

And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

[hurlzy]

Started my lessons today. I’m not sure if it’s true today but when I was in HS, ASL was NOT accepted at most colleges as a second language.

Fatty Dot Com

SOOOO glad I joined Tumblr and looked up “FAT” for discourse and activism conversations surrounding my big body, just to be hit with the same fetishization I find on every dating site I’ve ever been on.

[transcourse]

hey pro-tip for people who can become pregnant, plan B only works best if you weigh below 155 lbs, Ella works best if you weigh below 195 lbs, and if you weigh over that your main alternative to an emergency contraceptive is a copper IUD. this is just one of many examples of healthcare that is fatphobic bc i see people totally uninformed about it

edit: remember that “works best” doesn’t mean “it doesn’t work”- it can still prevent pregnancy if you are over the recommended weights, it’s just less effective. for a fat person to have the same guarantee as a thinner person they’d have to go for an IUD, which is less accessible and palatable to a lot of people, which is total b.s. and the fact that nobody is taught this is evidence of fatphobia
