I was going to suggest that maybe it’s ableist to dismiss teaching a kid sign language because it may delay their acquisition of a spoken language. Sign languages are no lesser than spoken languages. But. If a person isn’t truly fluent in sign language and is just using a handful of signs of convenience with the kid, then it’s probably bad.

You are very foolish to assume that just because somebody has strong political opinions it means they actually bother to vote

Sign languages are no lesser than spoken languages. Even then, it wouldn't be ablelist to dislike your child being worse at their primary language. In a hypothetical world where knowing multiple languages of any kind hurts your ability to learn more, it would be equally bad to use portuguese for baby communication.

Yeah, I actually thought about that place when the Rudy conference happened and hoped they were having a sensible chuckle about it. The hot dog joint just up the street from them had MAKE SIGNS FUNNY AGAIN until the election, and now they're back to terrible wiener puns.

CJacobs posted:There's a pro-lifer ad on a billboard along the highway near my town that reads "IF UNBORN INFANTS COULD VOTE - THEY'D VOTE TRUMP" with a pic of a fetus to this day. I drove through rural Virginia a few years back for the eclipse, and hooo boy was that an interesting experience. I've been to NoVA plenty of times, and wasn't expecting southwestern VA to be that different. But all of a sudden there were billboards about how Obama is the Antichrist and Satan is watching you and Jesus would vote Republican, etc etc. Absolutely beautiful scenery though.

Wow, some of you guys have way more interesting billboards. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one around here that wasn’t just advertising crap or a government PSA. Edit: I take that back, there was an anti-Trump billboard around election time.

There's still a giant TRUMP = JOBS, BIDEN = MOBS one and some form of MAKE ADVERTISING GREAT AGAIN on the corridor between San Marcos and New Braunfels. The former used to say "Texas? Still great. California? Too late! VOTE REPUBLICAN" until a few months before the election

There used to be a really good bluegrass/American roots music radio station that would have, like, big blocks of old time murder ballads. For a solid hour you'd be looking at that scenery and listening to songs about murdering faithless spouses and dropping their bodies down a well.
