  2. I never thought I would ever learn even a few words of sign language. One of the songs for the Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus Holiday Concert this weekend is Stille Nacht (Silent Night) with the American Sign Language displayed by all performers while singing. It is really beautiful.

  6. True Biz ist wirklich ein ausgezeichnetes Buch über Gehörlosigkeit, (Amerikanische) Gebärdensprache, erwachsen werden und Zwischenmenschliches. Auch das Buchlayout tut viel interessantes, um rüberzubringen, um einen in eine Perspektive zu versetzen, in der Gebärdetes leichter zu verfolgen ist als Gehörtes. Ich freue mich sehr, dass es jetzt auch ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde und ich es somit noch mehr Leuten empfehlen kann. #signlanguage #Gebärdensprache #Gebärdensprachen #AmericanSignLanguage

  7. 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

  11. CW: anti-Deaf hate crime, ableism, US pol, American Sign Language

    JFC. American Sign Language is a fucking LANGUAGE. Clue's in the name. I'm so angry.
    Any jackass who calls it "wild human gesticulation" is welcome to (go fuck themselves and) learn it themselves. Clearly it's just wiggling around or whatever, right?
    Must be easy! Must be quick! Must not be exhausting, precise, and impressive as fuck, actually.

  14. This is Derek.

    He is the hearing half of a hearing-deaf couple, occasionally posting funny stuff involving sign language, jokes, corgis, or some weird combination of the above on TikTok, YouTube and Insta.

    In this video clip, D explains how their Corgi picks up on the couple's sign language (btw it's American Sign Language = ASL), and does so very precisely. 😄

  15. Hey I need someone to read out about 100 sentences in #AmericanSignLanguage in front of camera for publication.

    And to be honest: I don't want to pay for this, maybe some amateur?

  16. Why are so many young people from the USA choosing courses on American Sign Language at school and college?

    Three guesses as to motive:

    - A thoroughly laudable desire to learn something of benefit to the wider community.

    - A less laudable but understandable hope that ASL will be easier than Spanish, French, or other foreign languages.

    - Worryingly, an unspoken but powerful drive to evade confrontation with cultures and histories that differ from those of the USA.

    I might be wrong on all three counts, of course!
