In 1997, local television in Kharkiv accidentally filmed one of the most iconic rave moments in history.

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

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

seeing people be like "why did sinners get a vfx nomination" bro there were TWO michael b jordans on that screen!!

[seracadash]

That's not on vfx michael b jordan can just do that

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

i believe the plural is actually michaels b jordan, it's like attorneys general

[catgirl-metronome]

easy mistake to make: it IS like attorneys general, but actually, since "michael b" constitutes his full given name, it's michael bees jordan

did classical athens do something problematic

[spider-hands-mannos-deactivated]

I so desperately wish I could physically stop you fucking people from using the internet.

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

That said, has the answer to the question “did classical Athens do something problematic” ever, in all its history and all subsequent discussion, been “no?”

[amysnotdeadyet]

Not to me. Not if it’s classical Athens.

[magnusarchvile]

Did classical Athens not do something problematic
