Back in 2020, I backed a Kickstarter for Inspirisles because it was an incredible idea. Using a TTRPG, to teach BSL (British Sign Language) and ASL (American Sign Language). Since then, the creator has gone on to add Overisles and is currently working on Underisles which are continuations.

Gebärdensprache ist

"kein primitiver Behelf, wie viele glauben,

sondern eine strukturierte, differenzierte, feinste intellektuelle wie emotionale Nuancen vermittelnde Ausdrucksform,

der Lautsprache ebenbürtig,
ja, in mancher Hinsicht überlegen,

«eine Sprache, die sich für [wissenschaftliche] Vorträge ebenso gut eignet wie für die Liebe»."

Oliver Sacks (1933-2015), brit. Neurologe und Schriftsteller

Okay, so I heard about this project UniversalPython which says ’UniversalPython lets you write Python code using your preferred human language!’

Okay, let’s write some Python in the Finnish Sign Language!

Uh, well, there is no good written form for that, soo…?

(Sometimes I get annoyed when ’any language’ means ’any language with enough users and an established and supported writing system’.)

@ljwrites The evolution of signs for “mobile phone” in German Sign Language is like that, too. Traditionally a Y-hand like a phone handle, then a fist with outstretched index finger like a phone with antenna came up as an alternative, though I think that is on the way out again. Instead you now get a two-handed sign of holding and swiping. #GermanSignLanguage #SignLanguage

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.

Does anyone have tips for learning / teaching sign language to your baby?

I've collected a few board books and kid's books on baby sign language, but often these books don't agree on signs, and I have low confidence I'm making signs properly anyway. I understand the best approach may be to simply learn ASL myself and use that, but I haven't had the time to take a class yet.

I welcome tips for learning sign language in Philadelphia too!

Really worthwhile watching this TED talk, though I regret that someone with her background and message excludes sign languages limiting her definition of language to transmission by sound. #deaf #signlanguage

Esikoinen on suloinen, kun miettii hetken miten 'poni' viitotaan, kun viime kerrasta on pitkä aika.

Minusta on hauskaa kun somessa ihmiset viittoo "tavallinen" viittoman innoissaan. 😂

Kyseessähän on six seven meemi. Nyt tiedät ainakin sen, että osaat yhden suomalaisen viittoman. :blob_wink:

7/7 So, this isn't groundbreaking storytelling yet, but it is groundbreaking media buying. Hopefully, the next iteration will move past the "lead-as-an-inspiration" phase and into a space where the product and the person share the stage more naturally.

Dobiliśmy do 300 znaków!

Bardzo ciekawie jest czytać i wymyślać dlaczego dany znak jest tak a tak migany - czy chodzi o grę słowną, czy o wydarzenie historyczne, czy o wygląd przedmiotu, czy nawiązuje do innego znaku który daje skojarzenia (np ogólnopolski na złoto i regionalny na czerwiec są migane tak samo więc może złoto? -> złote zboża? -> czerwiec?).

Znaki, które były dla mnie najciekawsze do wpisywania - w wątku :d

#MachineLearning #Disability #Makaton #SignLanguage

Hi - Weird thought - I'm know nothing, so expect fumbles - but if one wanted to train a model (?) to interpret gestures (the Makaton sign language), how to begin?

Is there some distributed Internet machine learning thing like the old Folding-at-home project?

(I'd rather not touch any toxic big tech company in any way.)

Also, any learning resources would be cool!

Pls boost.
