Folks. Sign language is more than hands. More than fingers. More than hand shapes. Itās body, face, position...
A glove will never ātranslateā sign language in a way that is beneficial to the deaf.
Fellow nerds, when designing, remember this: ānothing about us, without us.ā
A glove that translates sign language into speech in real time has been developed by scientists -- potentially allowing deaf people to communicate directly with anyone, without the need for a translator. cnn.it/3gausTC

Intelligence as an entire construction is rooted in ableism, classism, and racism.
Iām not going to support this framework of people being smart or intelligent anymore. Iām going to choose to be more specific with my assessments of peopleās words and actions (and not character).

would unironically support replacing every statue of stonewall jackson with a statue of dave grohl, one of our greatest virginians
30 Jun 2020
I feel like you could get away with just relabeling a lot of the Confederate statues, because the likenesses arenāt that great. Just say Stonewall Jackson is Dave Grohl now, who cares.

This is stronger evidence than Iāve ever seen for the pro-gun side. Even people who generally support gun control seem to accept at face value the argument from police that having guns makes them safer.

If theyāre not willing to provide badges or their agency, theyāre not law enforcement anymore. Theyāre vigilantes.

Back outside the White House. Today the perimeter has been pushed back another half block. Federal law enforcement of some kind, but they wonāt identify themselves, and all insignias and name plates have been removed.

Big companies absolutely can pay a single salary regardless of location. They donāt do it because itās not in their interest, not because itās infeasible.
21 May 2020
I understand why salary ranges exist and I'm not advocating for a singular salary irrespective of location, especially at big companies. If a place can do it, fine -- but big companies absolutely cannot. What I am saying is the meme that everyone will move to Ohio now is a lie.
