So you want to learn ASL? Congratulations on taking the first step!
Many people want to learn ASL to communicate with Deaf people, being nonspeaking, their hearing is going away, hearing fatigue, they consider ASL a "beautiful" language, or just for fun!
ASL is a language separate from english, and it's primarily used in the US and some parts of Canada. ASL, American sign language is the second biggest sign language, with the first being CSL, Chinese sign language.
Here are my recommendations for you to help you learn ASL!
In addition to learning basic verbs, etc, try to learn one random word per day!
Download ASL apps if you haven't already, they'll help you to learn basic verbs easier. Some good ASL apps are Lingvano, ASL Sign Language Pocket Sign, and Hands On ASL.
Watch Youtubers who sign ASL without the sound on. My personal favorite is L1z Harris.
If it's possible watch movies or shows with people signing in them, such as CODA.
I hope your learning goes well!
a more serious comic, about depression

Itβs a little joke πππ
I wish each individual chapter of a fic on AO3 had the date when it was posted, rather than just when the fic was first posted and when the last update was. Β
That way you can see at a glance how often a WIP is updated, whether itβs fairly regularly or with huge long gaps between chapters; or if the first 20 chapters were posted in quick succession but the most recent couple were posted at long intervals, indicating that the writer is losing interest and may not finish, etc. Β

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you
No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didnβt know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
