Bring Her Back on HBO Max was one fucked up movie! Had me peeking through my fingers at times.

Dune Prophecy on HBO Max was so good! It takes place 10,000 before Paul Atreides. But, only six episodes?!?!? C’mon! We better not have to wait 3 years for another short season.

My ASL students told me they learned the sign for Labubu this past weekend from Deaf people at an ASL social event. I bet now that I have seen it, I’ll see it everywhere.

Last night, I posted on FB about having psoriasis. Really awesome to see people commenting that they have it too. Sometimes, we have to take that brave step by talking about it and then everyone chimes in.

Interesting how, on Facebook, NAD turned off comments in their videos related to the board’s hiatus. They say they’re being transparent but when you don’t allow the public to comment, how is that fostering transparency? Transparency is not a one-way street.

HONEST! I was watching a video on FB and an ad popped up in the middle. WTF?!?!

Dear white people interpreting virtually,

Please pre-check your appearance. Being bright white is hard on the eyes.

Thank you!

Today is our 25th anniversary! It all started with a friendly encounter at a Halloween party. A year later, he asked me out for a date. The rest is history.
It’s been a wild ride with ups and downs but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to more adventures with love everlasting!
The husband and I are smiling and posing together by a body of water behind us at Rehoboth Beach last weekend. We each have a bike helmet on top of our baseball cap. We were riding our e-bikes through nature with friends. We made a stop to take pictures. 
It was a beautiful day. Tall grass. Bright sky with clouds. Slightly windy.

Even worse, the nurse called the terp agency to follow up. Their response was, “we couldn’t find anyone to take this job”. So, why didn’t you call the doctor’s office? Could have saved all of our time.

Hate wasting an appointment because the interpreter didn’t show up.
you9me9.bsky.social
Who decided that ASL interpreters should wait out of the office when doctors and nurses are not present? (I suspect Deaf stakeholders didn’t endorse this.)

Just let us live in denial for our final years (29, 39, 49, etc.).

These catfishing documentaries on Netflix are mind-blowing! Like, “wait, whaaaaa?!?!?” when they reveal who was behind these messages.

The Giant store near my home now requires you to purchase gift cards at the Customer Service register and not with the cashiers. Like, huh?

Yikes! I rode the funicular in Lisbon 2 years ago. Such a tragedy!

Since I never watched Empire, I didn’t follow Jussie Smollett’s trial and all that. I just watched the Netflix documentary about this alleged attack on Jussie. Holy shit! Jussie was telling the truth!

I’ve been teaching ASL so long that it should not surprise me if I ever get a student to tell me that their parent(s) took ASL with me.

That would be the day I’d go out and buy me a coffin.

One thing that changed after COVID are doctor appointments. It used to be within a week to see a doctor. Now, it’s months to see a doctor. Like, I could have mutated into a different species by then.
