“[The app] helps hearing and Deaf of all ages learn the rich and expressive ASL language in an innovative and engaging way like only animation can,” the Small Talk website states. Because Oscar is fully animated as he signs and fingerspells, users can rotate him to view his signs from different angles, making it easier to see how his hands and fingers move. They can also adjust the playback speed—slowing it down as they learn or speeding it up to test their fluency and handshape recognition. Crucially, they can experience Oscar’s larger-than-life facial expressions (unsurprisingly reminiscent of Disney and Pixar characters), which are an essential part of communication in ASL. [...] Staub doesn’t really view other ASL learning apps as competition. He sees Small Talk ASL as just another tool in the world—admittedly a pretty fun one—to help more people learn ASL and overcome barriers to human communication. “There are 48 million Deaf and hard-of-hearing people in America, yet the… community is, in many ways, an isolated community. There is a hidden barrier which impedes a hearing person and a deaf person from building deep relationships. ASL overcomes that barrier,” the website states. It adds that about 70% of parents of deaf children don’t learn ASL.

I can’t really tell you how to find this. Even the cheesemonger just called it “farm fresh feta”. But what was unique about the cheese was that it was a bit more yellowy than the feta I’m used to, softer, and kept in a block out of brine. So if you spot it, try it out, because it’s a good twist on a classic.

many such cases

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

but it’s your job to control your experience on the internet, not mine. and I am not taking the time to check your pinned or bio before I like some post that came across my dash. who cares.

Arrest everyone involved.
