If it's all the same to you…

amputee neil josten is something that can be so personal

okay. regarding the ASL interpreter on the news about hurricane Milton.

im going to need everyone who doesn't know anything about ASL and interpretation to STOP trying to "catch" this lady faking ASL. honestly just shut up. I have seen so many "is this real? this looks so fake" posts over the past 2 days and its genuinely so irritating and disheartening. yall don't know anything about ASL as a language, Deaf culture, HoH culture, interpretation, NOTHING. and honestly, as a deaf person, its makes me frustrated seeing people blindly insult not only this specific interpreter but ASL as a whole.

ASL is not just English with your hands. it is a whole separate language with its own culture, grammar, and needs. the interpreters expressions were not eccentric or over the top. facial expressions are NECESSARY for D/deaf and HoH people. so many of us rely on them for tone and meaning.

"why can't they just use captions". number 1, ASL is not English. they're two different languages. number 2, live captioning can often be inaccurate. number 3, English might not be the first language of someone who uses an ASL interpreter.

if you're hearing about a deadly, horrific natural disaster on the news and your first instinct is to try and catch a "fake interpreter" without any knowledge of the language and culture, i need you to take a step back and stop speaking over the D/deaf/HoH community.

ASL and the D/deaf/HoH community have been consistently shunned and outcast from the rest of society, and people continuing to perpetuate harmful and frankly gross stereotypes and rumors about ASL and the D/deaf/HoH is disgusting. stop.

Poor guys head: Spinning

Fe: Santaed

'jack has family in santa fe' 'jack was born in santa fe' 'jack has some kind of tragic relation to santa fe' no no NO you dont UNDERSTAND jacks santa fe isn't REAL!!! NONE OF IT IS!!! jack yearns for santa fe BECAUSE he has no connection to it!!! he has no expectations of it at all, he just found a place that was as opposite to new york as he could imagine and pinned all his hopes on it, THAT'S THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL!!! if jack did go to santa fe, he'd realize all too quickly that this was not the fantasy he built up in his head. he will always feel out of place wherever he goes because the thing he's running from is a piece of himself that he has to reckon with, that's the whole point!! family isn't something he'll just stumble upon by chance, it's something he has to be brave enough to make for himself. his santa fe could've been ANYWHERE. thats why "i'm dead if i can't count on you today" was so gut-wrenching, because he CAN'T count on santa fe. ever. IT'S NOT REAL.

my ocs: i feel like im cursed

me: yeah man probably bc i cursed you

Neil considered that, then said, "Good thing you're not there anymore."

"Jean still is," Kevin answered.
