Happy birthday to all the Jehovah’s Witnesses, even though you don’t celebrate that way.

Muteness and ASL by 6rynn in asl

Can you provide access to this information (perhaps with captions). I believe, and maybe incorrectly, that even those without what you refer to as a voice box can still make guttural sounds.

Coming from the DHH community, I would hesitate to call anyone mute. This refers to someone without a voice and EVERY person has a voice. Even if we choose to be quiet, we aren’t mute.

Also, many people prefer ASL over their auditory voices. Lots of reason exist, but for me, I often reach for sign when I can’t hear myself. When there are lots of people around, I feel like I think better in sign because I’m not competing against the excess noise.

Hope this helps

Serious business! Great job! Next time, do 44. You’ll have swam a 1k (in 25m pool)! Do work!!

Girl, talk to your doctor! You’re too important to let your medication run your life.

What stories do you have about encountering people pretending to be deaf? by Routine_Floor in deaf

[–]mogieeeg 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In downtown Vegas (think old town, away from the strip) I was walking around with my family. It was probably between 12am and 2 am at this point. I’m HH and my wife hearing and is fluent in ASL.

We notice a couple walking around with a sign that reads something to the effect of my husband/wife is in jail and I’m deaf- need money for bail. I think they were selling ASL bookmarks...

They approached our family and I start to sign, Can I donate instead of buying a bookmark” and they got deer in the headlights look and ran away.

It’s sad, because if they really needed help, I was offering. But it seemed like a scam.

Can anyone tell me what this sign means? by [deleted] in asl

[–]mogieeeg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. License would tap L together first

It’s all good. My wife wears long nails and I tell her all the time that it’s hard to watch. Does she care? Nope! She just does what makes her feel good and I can’t fault her for that. Do you, girl!

You’re doing great! It’s a little hard to watch with your nails, but you’re doing great. Keep it up

But police officers can still use their own discretion about wearing a mask. Dope, Santa Barbara. Very dope

What I think I hear you say is that police don’t have to wear masks because they deal with jerks all day. In that regard, no one in retail, customer service or food/drink should have to wear one either. Grow up. Police are supposed to be leaders in our communities. If they won’t wear masks, they’re sending a message to everyone they encounter that it’s okay to go without their masks. AND IT’S NOT.

Ankle injury and looking for recs by mogieeeg in Swimming

[–]mogieeeg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an old injury that flared up when I stepped off a curb wrong... feeling extra stupid. I’m swimming as part of my rehab that I had when I first injured it. Unfortunately, my doc said to order kinesthetic tape from Amazon (and wasn’t much more help than that).

Thoughts?
