it has always baffled me that ASL isn't taught as a second language in American schooling. or as a requirement for certain jobs that work with, well, people. the HLAA says that around 48 million Americans have hearing loss!! 1 in 5 teenagers!! 1 in 3 people over the age of 60!!! it's crazy to me that sign isn't more widely taught and used considering that you probably DO or WILL know someone who has hearing loss at some point in their life

People on twitter are talking about ‘proship’ to make their own definition for the 500th time, which I am not going to get involved in, but it’s always wild that I have seen multiple specific people (aka I’m not just hearing secondhand) who make a big part of their presence the fact that they’re Val fans have big PROSHIP DNI in bio.
Valentino fans.
Valentino fans.

there are currently some efforts in my work group to analyze experiment data using machine learning, and the expert wanted to present his first attempts today. some 10 minutes in the scientists started arguing so much about whether or not the first practice dataset (made by one of them) accurately represents the experiment data that the expert barely managed to finish the presentation.

Sol's bedroom used to have red mahogany wood panels, and one of his more recent purchases includes a vintage velvet floral chair for his room in the duplex. Needless to say, the logical conclusion to his interior design inclinations is that he's going to be trying to put in a shag carpet next, except for that I don't think Kenneth would let him.

Hey… I do not care what it’s about. If you reblog a post that says, “If you [like/think/do] x, I genuinely hope you die,” I am not going to follow you anymore.

i completely understand why people value activism and movements from like 50 years ago, because we can learn from it and the work done then has given us a future now. but i have begun to feel a lot nowadays that learning about activists from 50 years ago places this idea that we “all lived happily ever after after these brave people did xyz” and it. halts modern activism from ever having the same kind of impact? like the only things we ever are able to celebrate are legislative wins, and never anything community oriented
