It's silly time for squirrels around here, protecting their babies and territories.
Lots of squabbling going on and I can not guarantee your safety in those dark woods...
Honestly - don't mock my warning sign, you have been warned 😄
Original digitally painted photograph of the Pony Express Motel Sign in St. Joseph, Missouri. This motel was torn down sometime in the past decade, and apparently someone had the sense to save the sign and move it to a square near the Pony Express Museum, with the arrow pointing to the museum!
Met a snake friend while out riding today, just casually crossing the path under a bridge.
By the time they'd crossed, there were several of us standing around basically just gushing at how pretty snek was. Including one couple who took a photo, then typed something into their phone and showed me the translation app they had: "We just sent this photo to Brazil."
"The first step in the project was lots of interviews with Deaf folks "to make sure we're designing a technology they actually want to use in a way that they actually want to use it".
It's not the first time people have tried to come up with a technology to help better connect hearing and Deaf people. But often those attempts have been driven by assumptions about what Deaf people want, says Adele Greedy-Vogel, another research assistant on the project who is a hearing child of Deaf adults.
"A lot of technology in this space … is so that hearing people can understand Deaf people," Adele says.
"There's always an emphasis on hearing people being able to understand and having access to all the information.
"We really need to change that framing because it's Deaf people that need the access, not hearing people.""
A local vinyl sign has gone wonky in the heat of the last several summers and accidentally created the greatest #typeface of all time.
