Hello Universe!
Moved to new server.
Re-introduction - Been on here since 2022 and should write an intro again. I'm deaf, I'm a fan of open-source projects, so this will be short and sweet.
Post random ramblings, news, techie stuffs, boost mostly cat pics. I just like computers and hang around here.

#Trump admin says #SignLanguage services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his #image
The Trump admin is arguing that requiring real-time #ASL interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.

#Eugenics: "removing ASL interpreters denies deaf & hard-of-hearing Americans the ability to fully participate in civic life." The sentence that I've edited begins "Advocates have argued." I've deleted those words b/c the consequences of the removal (further disabling from civic life those w/ disabilities) are facts. There's no other side to the "argument" other than cruelty, criminality (it defies the Americans with Disabilities Act), & #fascism.

About fucking time.
“Judge orders White House to use American Sign Language interpreters at briefings”
https://www.npr.org/2025/11/05/nx-s1-5599118/white-house-asl-deaf-american-sign-language-judge-order
Sadly, does not include VP briefings. White House is supposed to update court on progress by end of week. Curious how it will jerk court around.

Where can I learn ASL? There's a regular who comes in who only speaks ASL. We only have one employee who knows ASL and we do not have any picture menus.
I want to make her experience as best as possible but I have a really hard time.
Does anyone know where I can learn ASL??? I'm willing to pay for it if I have to, I really just want to be able to help her properly 😞
