@greyor they’ve been available for free from local libraries in my state for a while (since july or august) but they’ve had trouble keeping up with the demand — they would get shipments in 1-2x/wk and run out within the day when I was checking for them
I’m glad the biden administration is finally stepping up to deliver free tests, hopefully it’ll make them a little more accessible
@Cyborgneticz @Dayglochainsaw the bizarre lack of agency ascribed to the hypothetical kid in that article is….,
@felineforestmedicine@mstdn.social thanks for the tip!
@felineforestmedicine@mstdn.social i’m glad i could point you towards something useful! It’s definitely good for people where you just want something straightforward
And yeah ASL & other sign languages are really fascinating — one of my cousins is Deaf so I know a little but not as much as I’d like (they don’t live nearby so we mostly mostly just text anyway). I hope you enjoy exploring the language :)
@felineforestmedicine@mstdn.social i have this necklace: https://www.etsy.com/listing/247765213/communication-necklace-batteries-pastel? (the shop also has a couple other designs for similar concepts — i like the ‘health bar’ one with different numbers of hearts)
Combined with a ‘hey sometimes I get overwhelmed which makes it difficult for me to talk’ convo I’ve found it works pretty well.
I’ve also found that text communication is easier for me sometimes (and harder other times) so I’ll sometimes send ‘just fyi I’m not talking today’ texts to people with instructions that they should also text me if they need something instead of trying to talk to me in person
Some of the people I know who go nonverbal more regularly have learned to sign and found that it’s more frequently accessible to them, but that requires a *much* higher level of commitment from both you & the other parties bc you’re all learning a whole new language. But it’s not too hard to learn a handful of signs / how to fingerspell without really getting into the grammar if that’s something you’d like to try out. Plus it might come in handy if you make any Deaf/HoH/nonverbal friends!
@mlemweb@octodon.social congrats!!!
@Lady Missionary bibles were frequently KJV translated into whatever language rather than original translations from source
re: food
@pamela its got one of the best effort : reward ratios for sure
food
@pamela softboiled egg is the main one
Nice soy sauce if its a lower sodium noodle packet (which most of them are these days unfortunately)
Chopped green onion/parsley is a nice way to add a little extra color & flavor if i have any on hand
surgery recovery (covid mention)
@twistylittlepassages that’s a great feeling to have! I’m glad to hear it
