Parenthood is making the food you always wanted, for your inner child.
Then your actual child makes a face because it isn’t one of the three approved beige carbs this week. *sighs*

Getting to write for the Dark Crystal was an honor and a joy.

Getting to center sign language on the world of Thra as much as I did was a pleasure.

this sounds like the work Troy Kotsur did for Tusken sign language in Star Wars. I’d love to compare your processes sometime :)

I’m an ASL interpreter, I’d love to know more about how you included sign language!

Pro tip: wear slippers that look like work shoes so when you forget and wear them to work, you aren’t in trouble and feel decadent for wearing slippers to work. (Mine are black croc ballet slippers 10/10)

These are legitimately amazing socks and I love mine. If you like getting things in the mail, 10/10.

Pro tip: if you don’t wear makeup, then you’re free to make yourself cry listening to gorgeous show tunes while commmuting to work.

Also funny because the old original sign references that the drink was made with cocaine and maybe the brand wants to move away from that? 😂😬

Who wants Niche tea?
Gallaudet students collaborated with Coke to come up with a fancy new “official” sign for the brand.
And lots of Deaf people are grumpy about it (an individual institution just deciding a whole new word)

Yungblud and Robert Redford have the exact same energy wrt triangular looking. I can bring receipts.

Second Russian Tea House. Also St Martins Table sandwiches

Why are the second born kids so feral and sturdy and… always naked?! 😂

*smirk* when the daycare sends a note out to everyone and you know which parts are about you. 😬😅

Me: fostering patience and calm.

Also me: I regularly threaten my kids that *blank* is only for closers, or give countdowns.
Me: clean up your blocks! Snacks are for closers!

*toddler urgency intensifies*
Hahah

I started following Able Heart on TikTok. (Hippy positive message dance music). He’s on a live this morning with a MAGA hat. Grossssss. Nevermind.

I can’t tell if hanky code is coming back or people don’t know about it, but I’m seeing some amazing flagging lately

My toddler claims when you cut up an omelette the bites can be called chicken nuggets.

I’ll be over here having a linguistic existential crisis

Super happy my work schedule is allowing me to do some cycle commuting, plus with girl pick up/drop off!

The adorable insanity of toddler parenting: the baby insists on getting her sleeves pushed up too, like her big sister. She’s wearing a short sleeve shirt. It’s a big performance.

There’s something very Meta about someone talking to you in an unwanted way when all you want to do is extract yourself so you can read Murderbot.

State of the ASL access world: according to RID (our national registry organization), there’s less than 300 legally certified interpreters available in the entire US. This is fine.

(SC:L’s are hard to come by since they stopped offering the test, some states have alternative paths, but yeah)

Hah yessss

I love you too!!

Send your adult friends valentines. Tell your friends you love them, with words or candy or shenanigans. Ideally all three.

Our daughter’s wrestling names: the Flying Squirrel and the Killer Bee. Obviously. Guess which one is a heel.

I’m no expert, but if you have sprinkles in your belly button you’re probably doing something right.
