From the article: "For years, White House press conferences included sign language interpreters for the deaf.

"No longer. Interpreters have been noticeably absent from Trump administration press briefings, advocacy groups say. Gone, too, are the American Sign Language interpretations that used to appear on the White House’s YouTube channel. A White House webpage on accessibility, whitehouse.gov/accessibility, has also ceased working.

"From halting diversity programs that benefit people with disabilities to staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Trump administration has taken a slew of actions that harm those with impairments or chronic health conditions. Decades of hard-fought gains risk being undone by cuts to federal programs, freezes on research funding, and a White House ban on practices that support diversity."

Tein aiemmion kyselyn tästä emojista/käsimerkistä (🤟).
Halusin nähdä kuinka ihmiset tulkitsevat tai tietävät ennestään kyseisen käsimerkin tarkoituksen. Äänestystuloksen perusteella 14% äänestäjistä tiesi käsimerkin alkuperäisen merkityksen.

Kyseessä on hyvin vanha käsimerkki. Merkin tarkoitus on ilmaista "I love you" tai "love you". Sanojen ensimmäiset alkukirjaimet sormitetaan samanaikaisesti sormiaakkosina eli I, L ja Y.

Käsimerkin historia on pitkä, se ulottuu 1900-luvun tienoolle ja on tullut alkujaan amerikkalaisesta viittomakielestä. Kyseinen käsimerkki on levinnyt viime vuosikymmeninä sosiaalisen median kautta laajasti yleiseen käyttöön ympäri maailmaa. Tätä käytetään myös täällä meillä Suomessakin viittomakielisten kesken.

Äänestystulokset voit lukea täältä: mementomori.social/@mustikkaso

Fascinating #keynote by Rob Koch at #KubeCon on real-time Sign Language interpretation.

He "talked" in sign language (American Sign Language, ASL), which was real-time translated to both speech and closed captioning. And also to British Sign Language, which uses entirely different gestures. Wow!

And of course, the topic.was on how to automatically recognize sign language. And the challenges involved.

Wait for the recording!

The 2nd Semester ASL Student Typology
They survived ASL 1. The strong ones, the fast ones, the ones who kept up while others drowned. But ASL 2? Whole different beast. No more easy drills. No more spoon feeding. No more hiding behind fingerspelling like a damn life raft. This is where fluency stops being a hobby & starts being a mountain. Not everyone makes it to the top. Some climb. Some stall out. Some fake it. Some die on the trail.

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

#ASL question: the signs I'm seeing for "god" all seem imply the cross to me, some people do it like a cross being raised, and some like part of a catholic crossing themselves. Am I reading into that?

If not… what about Hindu gods? Praying to Ganesha "You are the god who's watched over me this whole journey."

And what about plurality like "Gods I love this" ? Referring to a pantheon like that seems extra effed up if you're pluralizing a Jehova / Jesus based sign.
