  1. This is a niche ask but fedi seems like the place I might find an answer:

    Does anyone have any idea of old publications (ideally ones on the internet archive), modern online communities that discuss media, or any other sources amongst the deaf community where I might find some discussion or writing or anything about how deaf folks felt about Tony, the deaf teen on season 9 of Dallas? Getting a recurring deaf character at all NOW is still rare, much less in the 80s, so I'd really like to know if there's any reactions preserved from that time or if there's any posts about it now from folks remembering it then. I'm about to scour places like reddit but it's like...I know where to go to find Dallas discussions I can search for discussion about deaf representation, I don't know where I might find general deaf community discussions new or old i could search for Dallas discussion.

    My single user self hosted server doesn't have a ton of reach so boosts appreciated! I'm adding a few hashtags I found with some use too.

  5. 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.

  18. 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

  20. 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.
