Folks. Sign language is more than hands. More than fingers. More than hand shapes. It’s body, face, position... A glove will never ‘translate’ sign language in a way that is beneficial to the deaf. Fellow nerds, when designing, remember this: “nothing about us, without us.”
CNN@CNN

A glove that translates sign language into speech in real time has been developed by scientists -- potentially allowing deaf people to communicate directly with anyone, without the need for a translator. cnn.it/3gausTC

Intelligence as an entire construction is rooted in ableism, classism, and racism. I’m not going to support this framework of people being smart or intelligent anymore. I’m going to choose to be more specific with my assessments of people’s words and actions (and not character).

This is stronger evidence than I’ve ever seen for the pro-gun side. Even people who generally support gun control seem to accept at face value the argument from police that having guns makes them safer.

Big companies absolutely can pay a single salary regardless of location. They don’t do it because it’s not in their interest, not because it’s infeasible.
Christina Warren@film_girl

I understand why salary ranges exist and I'm not advocating for a singular salary irrespective of location, especially at big companies. If a place can do it, fine -- but big companies absolutely cannot. What I am saying is the meme that everyone will move to Ohio now is a lie.
