More
December 28, 2025More, still more. Later, flowers for the bees, until they think that warm days shall never cease, for summer has o'er brimm'd their clammy cells.
I think I was avoiding doing this. Unsure, actually. It's hard to muster up a lot of gumption when I've classified this period of time as a 'holiday' in my head. I might have to take off to a fast food establishment tomorrow so that I can focus.
Went through a bunch of reels just... looking at them. Still not at the point where I can dissect unsubtitled content in here, but I do feel less anxious looking at it then I did when I started. I accidentally read the fingerspelling for Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. And that was kinda shocking.
First Video
My Online Client, Marc by Rob O'Mahoney
Notes
- transcript: my on+line [] #marc look-like ix-image-on-screen approach-me request help-him change ix-poss body, change ix-poss life #style. i say i can lead ix #as long he put commitment, keep++, hard work in, [] together [shows different photos from different weeks] see how work hard team keep link together.
- I can't find other attestation for the sign that is translated as 'commitment'. It looks just like cookie. I think it's an SEE sign. In other videos, Rob does sign very SEE. Well... good to know!
Second Video
I cannot believe what I've read by Sandro Hatibovic
This one was hilarious!
Notes
- transcript: omg i read++ ix-on-cl-book #LAW say person allow enter(inflected) your house without your permission or clueless-you. ix what-do take+++ food finish drink good. one fine-fine give. leave! who?? santa. wow(mouthed).
- clueless is done with the dominant hand while the nondominant hand points out at you, as if to mock you.
- so this is a piece that is heavily exaggerated for comedic effect. The finish was pretty inflected, and the sign for 'person' was maybe an international one?
Third Video
What was it like after the divorce? by Irina Burke
Notes
- I've never seen WITH inflected like that before. Wow. That's powerful.
- 'move-on' is an interesting one. I crossreferenced with handspeak, and it's not there. But it's the MOVE handshape signed a little like KEEP.
- heart-shattered... aaa
- in 'what could i possibly say to my children', i believe she's signing 'say children how', with a very inflected how.
- 'true-biz finish work?' is translated to 'is it really over?'
- spent a minute trying to figure out the gloss for what is translated to 'how will i cope with this alone?' What's going on here, I think (insert large caveat here) she does '#COPE manage/control alone' with A hands instead of X hands. Which makes sense. They're pretty close.
