Heres a transcript from their website:

[Image ID: screenshot from the DailyMoth.com. Its logo, a lightbulb with a moth on it, is in the top left corner. A transcript reads:

Did you know that the famous Greek philosopher Socrates who lived in the fifth century B.C. may have been the first person to write about sign language? He said, “Suppose that we had no voice or tongue, and wanted to indicate objects to one another, should we not, like the deaf and dumb, make signs with the hands, head and the rest of the body?”

I got this piece of history from this book.

[“The Deaf Community in America: History in the Making”]

The authors Melvia and Ronald Nomeland said the remarks by Socrates “illustrates that deaf people existed then…”

Deaf History: Socrates on sign language

More interesting information to share about Deaf history, thanks to Alex at The Daily Moth Deaf news.

Anyway I'm watching Deafula

descriptive transcript:

Haben, a Black woman in her thirties with long dark hair, speaks to the camera, a vibrant blue wall behind her.

Haben: If you're a creator, add transcripts to your videos. I can't see videos, I can't hear videos, but I can read transcripts.

Pins on a Braillenote Touch pop up and down in their Braille cells. Each cell has eight pins that are either positioned up or down depending on the specific Braille letter.

Haben: Braille displays connect to phones and laptops, allowing Braille readers to access the internet this way. Descriptive transcripts should have both the visuals of what's happening on screen and speech and key sounds for the video. Really good descriptive transcripts captivate readers just like the best novels.

The Braille display disappears and the video shows Haben in the same room.

Haben: Once we have widespread accessibility, it'll be easier for deafblind people to share our stories and also participate in conversations. I love learning from lives different from mine and in order for me to do that, I need transcripts. I look forward to reading all your transcripts!

end transcript.

sharing for people who aren't aware this is a thing & can put it into practice, video transcript copied from haben's instagram (please let me know if the format needs to be adjusted in some way 👍🏻)

Hi!

First of all: your blog is lovely and I'm so happy that I found it!

Second of all: That image for "tired" looks so creepy?? I know you didn't mean to but it looks like the chin is a huge, evil smirk.

Hope you have a lovely day!!

Thank you so much!

Maybe I'll try the sign for creepy sometime, but I'm worried nothing I make intentionally creepy would be as creepy as unintentionally creepy art lol

if anyone happens to have a deaf west american idiot bo*t or even just clips they’re willing to share i will be indebted to you for life

i can trade for other bo*ts (i have dwsa, jlp, bom, deh, falsettos, and bmc i believe) if that’s a thing that is required but please please please please

sincerely, a deaf person with an extremely intense emotional attachment to this musical and this production especially
