Hello! I have started a website for information about the role-space model of interpreting - www.rolespace.online Hopefully it will be of use to interpreters, students, and others! Please visit and spread the word! #xl8 #interpreting

Some more wisdom from my cherished friend and colleague @rpstranslations.bsky.social

Alison Moyet live at Big Night Live in Boston,MA. Her voice is as clear & strong as ever. Great band with her (producer of new album is also the bass player). Loved the new songs and LOVED the classics which were amazing live. For those in the area, this is a new-ish venue and was excellent!

Senators actually doing stuff. Thank you Senator Markey

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Jane Fonda on the SAG awards said “when you watch a documentary about Stonewall or Selma, have you asked yourself would you have been brave enough to stand up, to walk the bridge?” “This is your documentary moment because now is the time when we need to stand up.” It’s go time.

The letter, sent to all of the bishops in the country, was a barn burner. He included doctrine and talked about immigration. It was beautiful. newrepublic.com/article/1914...

Information (including a link for a 2/12/25 online information session with ASL Interpreting and CART) about the suit against Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Sorry if this is repeated information for some, but please share as you see fit. dredf.org/protect-504/

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Maybe petty but note that T*ump is not wearing an actual suit. The color of his jacket and trousers are very clearly different. I am not one to think that everyone needs to “dress up” for work, but if you are the leader of the free world, can you wear a proper suit to an official event?!? 🤦‍♂️

I feel seen, I feel heard, and I feel achey.

For those who are still at one of the other places (the one that rhymes with "MaceLook") and want to limit your contributions to the wallets of the owner, here is something you can do to curtail their access to your data. Thanks to a friend over there for sharing

When you're too stupid to get the joke.

From @deadder.bsky.social in support of @anntelnaes.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am one of the 1,227,800.

Speaking (drawing)Truth to power. In 2001, Telnaes became the 2nd female cartoonist and one of the few freelancers to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. In 2017, she received the Nat’l Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award; the 1st woman to win both. Thanks Ann Telnaes for your bravery.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Seems even though trains are late, you can go back in time and leave early!! Great job @amtrak.com !!

Perfection.

"In a nutshell, reflecting on our own transforming attitudes, perceptions, and approaches to our notions of communication and to the roles enacted by interpreters has helped us gain a clearer understanding not only of our own interpreting practices but of our own communications and interactions."

@theothanatologist.bsky.social published his article. He draws inspiration from American Fiction movie. If you saw and like American Fiction movie, then you will like to read his article. I promise it’s worth reading. 😂 adding his link here oroboros.substack.com/p/deafosphere

Folks, do me a HUGE favor: Please re-post this and follow @reallyamerican.bsky.social so that we're at full strength as we enter the next critical phase in mounting our opposition to trump's cruel, oppressive agenda. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

My revised manuscript after I’ve included all the reviewers’ suggested edits.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

H/T to @interrausch.bsky.social for this. Love the concept; like a word cloud but for Bluesky interactions. From skircle.me -“Skircle is super easy to use: just drop your Bluesky handle, hit "Generate!," and boom, you’ll see your social circles come to life!” Please use alt text when you post!

It's our first ASL interpreted performance of this run. As we do this production every year, the lighting levels for the interpreters are fully programmed into the show (& simply kept off with an inhibitive fader for non-interpreted performances).

A glorious performance at Symphony Hall. Kevin Puts's The Brightness of Light-the story of Georgia O’Keeffe’s connection to Alfred Stieglitz, her husband and champion of her work. Renée Fleming and Ron Gilfry with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Got to enjoy it with @massbibliophile.bsky.social.
