Rest

if anyone happens to have a deaf west american idiot bo*t or even just clips they’re willing to share i will be indebted to you for life

i can trade for other bo*ts (i have dwsa, jlp, bom, deh, falsettos, and bmc i believe) if that’s a thing that is required but please please please please

sincerely, a deaf person with an extremely intense emotional attachment to this musical and this production especially

the asl sign for “transgender“ is basically the same as the sign for ”beautiful“ but signed at the chest instead of in front of the face.

so that’s cool.

I was a little heartbroken to see my favorite local cafe selling these stickers, so I made a list of some Deaf artists selling their art online.

[Image ID: a Be kind sticker with English and ASL except 4 instead of B handshape, S instead of E, V instead of K, S instead of N, and 1 instead of D. Over the sticker are the words "this is why we don't buy art from Amazon" with "part of the reason" inserted between "this is" and "why". The word "Wrong" is above all the incorrect handshapes and "wrong in the same way is pointing to the S handshapes that are meant to represent the E and N.
