Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

I have never. Seen this specific typesetting mistake before. I've seen editing mistakes I've seen writing mistakes I've seen typos aplenty I have never seen someone accidentally paste the file version details into the text while typesetting.

that's the first page of the book as well like. I'm assuming this got missed because it obviously happened after the copy was finalised. that's an InDesign file (and not the first InDesign file of the project (clock the 'V2')) so idk much about the publishing process but this is presumably final final steps before committing to print.

The more often you look at something, the more used to seeing it you get and your eyes simply skip over stuff even if you don’t intend for that to happen. It’s subconscious. You can’t control it. This is one of the reasons it’s recommended to edit or proofread in a different font and size - the text physically changes which means your eyes aren’t just scanning the same old for the nth time but are forced to process it anew.

(This is the explanation for why fanfic writers catch typos more often after they hit post on ao3. The text literally looks different on ao3 than it did in their text editor so their eyes are now seeing things they missed.)

When it comes to cover proofs it’s SO common to have typos or word repeats because the covers get looked at SO much that everyone just goes “yep looks fine” because this is the 7th cover meeting or whatever and the persons who worked on it obviously have seen it 5 million times in the past two months. For proofing covers it’s recommended to work backwards and use physical barriers, like a piece of paper covering the cover printout you’re looking at and then you look at the last line on the back of the cover and start backwards. You catch so many more errors that way. That includes misspelled titles, word repeats, punctuation errors, whatnot.

The wheel is completed but if you the mod want to change it at all feel free and I couldn't figure out how to get the link to work properly even un-anoned.

Thanks, have a nice day and drink some water

You have just lost use of this random kitchen item/implement!

Friendo I have some excellent news for you

IT'S CALLED A BOQUILA TRIOFOLIOLATA AND IT'S FUCKING WITH MY BRAIN

IT APPARENTLY CAN MIMIC OTHER PLANTS AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "oh cool man it must take it's genetic code and copy it or feel the roots or something like that!! :3"

AND THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ON IT AND THESE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS HIT ME LIKE A BUS

LIKE READ THIS SHIT

I had a really profound experience today.

I was just casually listening to a podcast on ancient anthropology because it autoplayed while I was doing housework, and it got into the nitty-gritty of how humans spent their time for most of the hundreds of thousands of years we've existed.

During the day, we would spend 15–20 hours a week on essential processes needed to sustain life. We would chat to each other about practical things: food, water, logistics, etc. Even during leisure time.

But at night, around the fire, the conversation shifted. This fireside conversation is now considered to be the cradle of human culture and the strongest creator of human bonds.

And it was mostly storytelling.

So like. I’ve never really understood my compulsion to tell stories or, for me, how essential it is that those stories then lead to conversation and connection. I always considered it a bit of an embarrassing insecurity, really, craving interaction from something I wrote.

And just hearing that one thing, on this one podcast, made me realise how bullshit that is. Stories are, since the beginning of our species, designed to form and strengthen connection. It’s human nature for me to want connection from them. We have 150,000 years of evolution to thank for that.

There’s a reason your local fanfic writer wants you to comment on their fic: because that’s part of the reason they’re writing it—for connection with their readers. Because human nature dictates storytelling is for connection.

The literal cofounder of queer theory as an academic field says that abandoning trans people is fascist logic.

The voices in our community trying to exclude us may be loud, but they are not right, and they do not speak for the community as a whole or our history or anything at all.
