#my husband is a great support but

[peculiarbeauty]

i wasn’t going to post about this here, but my family and i need a lot of thoughts and prayers if you can right now. my mom had a stroke and was rushed to the emergency room. i have been attempting to hold myself together and honestly not speak it into existence just because im so afraid. her heart isn’t well, but she is back home now resting. there’s a lot more details on the matter that led up to her having this stroke and some of that was involved stress in her work life, but im not really okay with disclosing those things on this site fully as .. it is really personal tbh.

my mom and i are so close, please send good thoughts that she gets better with the necessary healing she is going through. thanks.

Okay this wins my monthly "you literally could not be more wrong award":

Comment: tell me you don't know any Catholics without telling me you don't...

I'm cackling. This is the FUNNIEST thing said to me this week, if not the entire month.

The implication that I, a person who was baptized and raised Catholic, don't know any Catholics? HYSTERICAL.

I'll make sure to tell my family, I think my great aunt who used to be a nun would get a laugh out of that. Also really weird that my grandparents have a papal blessing for their 50 year wedding anniversary if they aren't Catholic, but what do I know?

Me, to myself, with grit teeth, after my spouse is once again kind of *shrugs* "That's, ehm, not really for me." about something I made:

They don't have to like it because they're not my audience.

They don't have to like it because they're not my audience.

They don't have to like it because they're Not My Audience.

They don't have to like it because they are Not My Audience.

Lord Aethelhelm has arrived. A good choice, I feel. Yes. He has quite a gathering with him. Oh, he likes to show his feathers. But he has money and men, both of which I will need. A perfect choice.

every once in a while my mom will say something so weird and insensitive and out of nowhere that I’m just like “oh yeah, this is why I don’t talk to you”

Btw, re: my opinion that computers are not gonna be able to translate sign languages in our lifetime, it's not that sign languages are necessarily More complicated than spoken/written languages (I truly don't know how you'd measure that but I'd assume they're equally complicated). But video is, in terms of sheer data, much bigger and presumably harder to process than audio. I cannot imagine this happening without *astounding* computational resources which would take far more energy, water, and money than a human interpreter (and, more importantly, wouldn't work as well, at least for the foreseeable future). I assume the computation would happen off site in most cases if it did work, meaning the Internet connection is gonna need to be phenomenal (there is already widespread dissatisfaction with VRS human interpreters used in medical settings because half the time the connection drops). Speech to text, with all the issues it still has, seems like a breeze in comparison to 'understanding' a video.

I also cannot wrap my mind around how a machine would handle depictions. Like, with some practice behind me, my human mind is now able to understand (some) depictions I've never seen before (thank goodness, because there will ALWAYS be new depictions I haven't seen before, bc Deaf people are resourceful and creative), but I don't see how a machine would. That's pure sci fi to me. I also wouldn't expect a machine to do a good job translating stuff it's never heard before in a spoken language (e.g. wordplay, or the way you can sometimes tell the meaning of a new slang word from context, or an uncommon name even), but the thing is I think depiction is a much bigger part of daily life than wordplay is?
