Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've got a totally random "Ask an average hearing person" question, to try to settle a point in my Deaf Culture class: Do you know what the phrases "Deaf President Now" or "Deaf Protest of 1988" refer to, without looking it up?
I've never heard of either thing. I thought it was a misspelling of Def (as in Def Jam), for a minute, given the year.
Ha, I wondered if that's the one you meant!
It was very cool. I was all, hey, it's from Kate! Good stuff on there, too.
Okay, they are the thumbnails of the pics I linked to. Balked at reposting verbatim, too lazy to rephrase.
Also, I have a migraine that goes all the way down to my quads right now. It's a joy.

Thanks! I just started handling the newsletter in June, and we just switched to the new layout, so I still feel like I'm learning how to put it all together, but I enjoy doing it -- it keeps me more involved in the kids' side of things, which I like.
Hil, I remember that (but it was local news at the time for me).
ita ! the thumbnails came up - you're insanely glamorous in those! I can understand loving that silvery (looks blue-silver to me) dress. And is that your fancy evening purse?
Hil, I didn't remember ever being aware of a Deaf President Now protest. However, after Googling, it seems vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure whether I knew of it at the time or only later. (It happened about 6 months before I moved to DC.)

Yup, this is me.
ita !'s whole family is gorgeous. It's impressive.
Ha, this is awesome: Trinity 'expels' barbarian teacher
Trinity College Dublin has said it is taking seriously an incident in which a profile page, complete with image, was inserted on its website for a fake staff member named ‘Dr Conan T. Barbarian’.
[...]
The profile went on to say Dr Barbarian completed his PhD, entitled ‘To Hear The Lamentation of Their Women: Constructions of Masculinity in Contemporary Zamoran Literature’ at UCD and was appointed to the School of English in 2006, “after sucessfully decapitating his predecessor during a bloody battle which will long be remembered in legend and song”.
