My favorite cheeses are Belavitano(basically any variation but Merlot if I have to chose), Talegio, Stilton with blueberries, smoked Mozzarella, and Mimolette.

Got some cool stuff from 58creativity!

[Image ID: a picture of 5 items:

1: a tan T-shirt. The design has a mountain, trees, and play outside in English and ASL.

2: a sticker of the sign grow, which is green with a plant coming out of the top hand.

3: a sticker of the sign for tea with the base hand replaced with a teacup and leaves.

4: a blue button that has the sign for support and a heart under the words "Support Deaf Artists."

5: a note from the artist that says, "Thank you so much for purchasing and sorting my business as a deaf artist. Your support means a lot to me as it inspires me to create more." There is line art of the artist signing thank you.

so I'm deaf, and I get new hearing aids every 4-5 years. every time I do this, the sound is different, and I have to take some time to relearn sounds. my most recent pair is a very different brand from what I've previously had, meaning that the sound is very different as well. this, of course, means extra word to relearn sounds. this is absolutely exhausting.

I just find it strange that, while I am relearning a sense, I can't realistically take time off of school. I still have so many assignments and stuff that I have to do, all while feeling like a toddler that's been up too long.

basically, I should be allowed to have a break when I get new hearing aids without having to do 12 billion catch up assignments afterwards

Had to do a PowerPoint for school and decided it needed more art at the last second.

[Image IDs: 7 drawings of signs in American Sign Language along with English translations. Movement is shown by various shades of blue going up in brightness. In order the signs are immersion, great, goal, topic, success, learn and experience. End ID]
