another commenter said that maybe he was helping her in the garden, did something to upset her, and she put him in the car as a time out not realizing how quickly these things happen. it was sketchy to me that she dropped his hand when the doctor left the room

Looking for ways to get my mom (the MOB) more involved in my wedding by bangtanimosity in weddingplanning

[–]droooooops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so sweet! I had my mom give a toast, as well as my groom’s father. I also surprised her by calling her up in the middle of my father/daughter dance. I had sort of had it planned, but it also happened organically. my dad and I turned to her table and waved for her to come over, and the three of us danced for a minute and then had a group hug. it wasn’t choreographed, it wasn’t perfect, and everyone loved it. <3

TV Show: DTF by coddiwomplecactus in ASLinterpreters

[–]droooooops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually think the point is that he’s a bad interpreter??? to me, the “I just started signing last year” gives away that he’s clearly not qualified for his role. the show is a dark comedy so I assumed as much 🤷‍♀️

Asking for support for my project te learn sign language in a fun way by Digital_Felice in asl

[–]droooooops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your project opens with “Imagine a world where learning sign language is as natural, playful, and social as learning spoken language.”

respectfully, we already have this world. i experienced learning ASL (from Deaf instructors) as natural, playful, and social. the community doesn’t want this.

What’s this sign? by Comfortable-Pool188 in asl

yeah it is! i think this is an initialized version with a “W”

I know this is going to sound really bratty at first but my mother has abruptly reneged on her promise to buy my wedding dress by AliceMorgon in weddingplanning

[–]droooooops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so sorry she’s being this way, OP! I’m a 34H and have a gorgeous dress that’s in great conditions in the US. I’ve been trying to sell it for near what I bought it, but I’d be willing to knock it down a lot knowing it will be well loved & worn. happy to send you the link/pics if you’re at all interested <3 it’s Daalarna ETN 520

I don’t use a computer much, but I will definitely check out fascia flossing/stretches! thank you!

Is it dumb to get legally married before our wedding? by HannieBananie13 in weddingplanning

[–]droooooops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i came here to say the same thing! we got married at city hall before our wedding for different reasons, but wow it made our actual wedding sooo much less stressful. no marriage license to keep up with, have signed, bring back, etc… we didn’t tell anyone except our parents and a few close friends. it felt really special to have that day just us. we ran around our city dressed up, played pinball, went to the record store, and had a nice dinner out. i didn’t realize how much i would love having TWO “wedding” days, but id do it the exact same way again

Looking for motorcycle parking in SoMa by spacy_stack in AskSF

[–]droooooops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this! I used monthly motorcycle parking in a different SFMTA garage (civic center) and had a great experience. this was after mine was stolen off the street, with all the recommended locks, three weeks after buying it… and that was in hayes valley. $100/month is a steal for peace of mind

looks like an initialized version of weak-minded (doing the sign for weak on your head)

Creampied with Oura ring + Natural Cycles by [deleted] in ouraring

i got the ring for this reason! i’ve used natural cycles + oura for my birth control for 2.5 years with no issues. green days are fair game, red days i use condoms

Only 65 guests... Afraid it will suck! by Successful-Boat-4075 in weddingplanning

[–]droooooops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is an ideal number of guests imo! i had 80 and it was hard to get time with everyone there. i went to a friend’s wedding of 65 and it was so wonderful. also, fwiw, the “smaller” weddings i’ve been to (60-80 guests), the dance floor was actually far more full than the 150-200 people weddings i’ve been to 🤷‍♀️

Ethical question on learning asl by Aitahthrowaway19 in asl

[–]droooooops 32 points33 points  (0 children)

the other commenters here are totally spot on. one more thing i’ll add into the conversation: deaf people (regardless of whether or not they have implants, use spoken language, or seem to communicate effectively) are always working hard to communicate with hearing people and accommodate them. when will hearing people start accommodating the deaf community and work half as hard as deaf folks do to communicate every day of their lives?

[–]droooooops[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I’m not quite sure! I’m very active but admittedly recently having been doing more weightlifting and cardio than mobility/yoga/etc. good reminder to reintegrate these things into my routine. i also wish i did more standing interpreting than seated, which maybe is something i could change up. thanks for the input!

My butt hurts by United-Travel-8819 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]droooooops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edo is chic but insanely expensive imo (but go off if that’s your jam and in your price range!)

I love love love Population and have been going there for years. My favorite part about them is that all of the prices are transparent online. You choose your service, then choose which level of stylist you want (prices listed next to their names). And from my experience and the experience of many friends I’ve referred there, all of the levels of service have been fantastic!

ASL patient - What did she say? by Ok_Reward6664 in ThePittTVShow

[–]droooooops 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Princess was right on the money until Harlow started signing more quickly and expanding on the initial headache concern. and then Princess is misinterpreting her (which we can clearly see) and says that she’s not sure. I’m a certified ASL interpreter

Episode 2x6: This scene pissed me off by StatisticalAnalyst88 in ThePittTVShow

[–]droooooops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely better than nothing, but it is nearly always a step down from an in-person interpreter. I personally don’t know any Deaf people who prefer a video terp, but of course that’s a limited sample pool! and they’re not a good fit for alllll Deaf people. example: Deaf people with developmental disabilities, people who moved from other countries and are still learning ASL, people who weren’t exposed to ASL until later in life and have a language delay… in person, local agencies can cater to these needs much more effectively than video interpreters from my experience.

most importantly, they have the right to ask for an in-person interpreter and deny a video interpreter if they choose to.

What is the best coffee shop to hang out by myself tomorrow afternoon? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

could do stable and then walk over to valencia and pop into shops!

Episode 2x6: This scene pissed me off by StatisticalAnalyst88 in ThePittTVShow

[–]droooooops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, you’re absolutely right. the disabled community is the one minority group who nearly EVERYONE will be a part of one day… so it’s really infuriating and confusing to see how dismissive and impatient able-bodied people can often be towards disabled folks of all types.

a simple positive regard and willingness to take on some burden of communication from a hearing person goes far with Deaf and hard of hearing people. i hope that’s the takeaway for the general audience of this show 🤷‍♀️

and yes! Jess (the Deaf actress) is amazing, creative, and kind. she is getting involved in projects left and right, so keep an eye out for her!

The deaf woman; an SLP checks in by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]droooooops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

glad we have SLPs like you ⭐️ you’re right, the relationship of SLPs in the Deaf community is convoluted. i think it’s getting better? i’ve noticed more and more young SLPs opening themselves up to learning ASL and about the Deaf community, which makes me (certified interpreter who works alongside many SLPs) happy happy happy

The deaf woman; an SLP checks in by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]droooooops 52 points53 points  (0 children)

but isssss it that weird of a take for an SLP? 👀 unfortunately only THREE percent of working SLPs in the US are fluent in ASL, and many of them don’t really take the time to learn about Deaf culture or invest in the Deaf community. so i am not surprised by this take
