I'm Learning How To Do Websites In My Ed Tech Class, So I Made The Sign - Resource. It's A Bunch Of Reasources

I just watched The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.

It is fully in ASL with English voice over and closed captions.

I thought the writing was great, the acting was phenomenal (idk about the voice acting. My computer was on mute), and the editing...but overall, it was a good show. It's not for everyone; it's a story about sexual assault. It explores the different way people respond to allegations: from active support and passive support, to dismissal and denial, to guilt and shame. I was hesitant to watch it because it was advertised as a dark comedy about sexual harassment, but I'm glad I did. I thought they handled the challenging themes well despite the inherent goofiness of the characters and settings they chose to tell their story with.

it felt like was the only one learning asl for nonverbalism reasons and i always felt weird about it cus there was never really any information about using asl for mutism like i'm appropriating deaf language or something? but i just got so sick of typing things out to communicate and people getting annoyed with how long it takes. its embarrassing. i've found that a sentence that comes out garbled and incomprehensible or doesn't come out at all when i try to speak verbally comes out easy as shit in sign. i also don't need captions for asl movies and videos (i got audio processing issues) so i'm working on my receptive skill also. anyway if you haven't done it before, what's the sign for selective mutism?

I am definitely grateful to the deaf community for sign languages. I don't think there would be sign languages if they hadn't developed and fought for it. But I don't think its appropriation to learn it for nonverbalism. For me personally, I'm just excited there's another person in the world I could sign with! I think it sucks that others assume people would only wanna sign if they have to! I've been in a number of situations in which I'm signing with someone, they ask if I'm deaf or hearing, then immediately start speaking when I say hearing. ASL is a wonderfully expressive language that feels so much more natural to me than spoken language.
