: not @WestResendes texting me again with a question that inspires a possible topic worth researching and writing 100+ pages on!


: I’m watching The Unusual Suspects &1 not only did I learn that Bryan Connerty from Billions is Australian but that the word “BUT” in Tagalog is “PERO” which is also “BUT” in Spanish which makes sense cos *Colonialism* but I wasn’t sure I was catching it right at first!


: monthly trip to the bookstore hits differently after you’ve been gone and your pre-order for Sally Rooney’s new book arrived while you were gone so it truly feels like a gift.


: if you’re wondering how Spanish class went; I forgot how to conjugate verbs in the Uds. form for the past perfect for -ar verbs and the past imperfect for -ir verbs so that was a good laugh and I couldn’t Google the answers fast enough before my turn.


: well! I just finished teaching the last class of the semester! I survived my first time teaching!


: a pro for interpreting from the woods is that you can go for a walk on the trails before your afternoon job and get your cheeks all sun-kissed and rosy in time to be on camera.


: this HUDF image is my background for almost everything—I love that I can attach this caption to it now.

Since the Universe has no center, you can’t be it.

: the generator has been going since early pre-dawn morning cos we lost power during the night and now it just turned off but idk if that’s cos we got power back or if it ran out of gas and we’re about to get more camping.


: I’m also with 4 bilingual children (American mom; French dad) under the age of 5 who went dead silent in awe when watching my Deaf mom and I FaceTime using ASL to communicate (and a hush fell over the crowd)


: casual walk on a frozen lake before my night job today!

: the fact that February and March are one after the other and both months have the same exact dates line up on the same days of the week has added a *lot* more time confusion to what I already struggle with under *pandemic time* which already makes time melt into itself as is.


: I’ve been co-teaching a class this winter semester and tonight is the first time I’m leading the whole class (3 hours!); if fear and excitement are 2 sides of the same coin then I’m still flipping in the air on this coin toss.


: I love the fact that I can move around the Closed Caption text box on Zoom to best suit my interpreting process needs (this also means I love when organisers hire live captioning services so that the CC is enabled on Zoom).


: I didn’t realise I had this quarantine ritual, but every month I pick up a new book from @greenlightbklyn


: I’ve had this new privilege to work with many West Coast colleagues (read: California) because of this remote work context and I love it because they always feel like they’re from California. #dope


: happy lunar new year! #YearOfTheOx

“happy lunar new year” in japanese, north korean, south korean, taiwanese & chinese sign languages! @JesadaPua ✨✨ #LunarNewYear



: growing up we used the TTY for as long as it was the technology du jour in our house so I still type like it’s 1995 whenever I use “smile” and I use it in texts, emails, comments, captions, and whatever other opportunity comes up where I can type “smile”

This is probably the biggest takeaway point I’ve been trying to say about this #heatherMewshaw situation but it’s written here so eloquently in this medium article by @notanangrydeafperson@Medium
