#Deaf folks: I'm writing a character who's dealing with sudden hearing loss, and I'm discovering fuck-all for what to do once that happens to you. Looking at all the US based hearing loss groups & state resources, and there's social support & medical, but literally nothing about learning ASL nevermind anything resembling "here's what you need to know re your new life challenges & how to cope"
a) wtf?! b) What does learning #ASL as a deaf adult look like?
This is your friendly reminder that if you're a #mastodon user who regularly has something more to say than you can fit in 500 characters, I have a tool for that.

What, the fuck, are Japanese people doing with their tongues for "emotional bonding" where a robotic tongue would be an acceptable substitute?
Like, i 100% see how the adult toy industry could benefit from this, but the idea of a robot licking me for "emotional bonding" is a full-on "hell no".
Figured i should probably bring this to a larger audience. For those who don't know, programming by voice is absolutely possible if you have physical issues and it's not horrible either.
With the help of Talon you can handle any weird punctuation - OR - custom words which is also useful if you're a fiction writer.
I support Talon on Patreon as a form of insurance. I want it to be around in case I need it some day.
