Milestone Monday
April 15th is National American Sign Language (ASL) Day, observed annually to celebrate the ASL community and its contributions to inclusivity, and to encourage folks to learn the language. Regarded as a natural language, sign language has likely existed for as long as there has been a need to communicate, however, the emergence of ASL is largely credited to Thomas Gallaudet (1787-1851) founder of the American School for the Deaf. Uniting deaf children from the western hemisphere the American School for the Deaf was fertile soil for language contact, developing ASL from French Sign Language, village sign languages, and home sign systems. Today, more than a half-million people throughout the United States use ASL to communicate as their native language.
In recognition of the day, we’re sharing another book from our Historical Curriculum Collection the Basic Pre-School Signed English Dictionary published by Gallaudet College Press in 1973. Signed English features drawn signs with written instructions to represent 975 words most frequently used by and with pre-school children. The editors also include sign markers and the American Manual Alphabet to be used in conjunction with the vocabulary, encouraging a language that is adaptable and offers a more complete English model of communication.
Signed English was edited in part by Harry Bornstein and Karen Saulnier who worked on several signing books for young readers throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and illustrated by Jack Fennell and Ann Silver.

My wife recently read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which led to a joking discussion about isekai'ing Amaya and Janai from The Dragon Prince into the 15th century French setting of the novel. Highlights include:
A Parisian suspiciously asks Janai why she has pointed ears, four fingers, and horns. She panics and says, "I'm from... very far away." The Parisian nods in sudden understanding and says, "Oh, Morocco. That makes sense" because it's the 15th century and everyone just accepts that foreigners look weird.
Amaya creates a stable time loop in which her use of Katolis Sign Language inspires the Deaf community of Paris to begin standardizing their own emerging sign language, which leads to the creation of French Sign Language, which is learned by Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc in the 1800s, which becomes the basis for American Sign Language, which is then used by the animators of The Dragon Prince.
Amaya discovers the concept of antisemitism. She is furious both for moral reasons and because the lack of Jewish people in France means no one is making hamantaschen / jelly tarts.

History
December 10, 1896 - Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel died at San Remo, Italy. His will stipulated that income from his $9 million estate be used for awards recognizing persons who have made valuable contributions to humanity. Nobel recipients are chosen by a committee of the Norwegian parliament. Prizes for Peace, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics are presented annually in a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, on the anniversary of his death. Each prize is valued at about $1 million.
December 10, 1898 - The Treaty of Paris was signed between American and Spanish representatives following Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American War. Under the treaty, the U.S. gained the Philippine Islands, the islands of Guam and Puerto Rico, and an agreement by Spain to withdraw from Cuba. The treaty passed by a single vote in the U.S. Senate on February 6, 1899, and was signed by President William McKinley four days later.
December 10, 1941 - During World War II, British Battleships Repulse and Prince of Wales were sunk by Japanese warplanes in the South China Sea, killing nearly 800 crewmen.

Birthday - Poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. Her poetry became known only after her death when her sister discovered nearly 2,000 poems locked in her bureau, written on the backs of envelopes and scraps of paper. They were published gradually over the next 50 years, beginning in 1890.
Birthday - American librarian Melvil Dewey (1851-1931) was born in Adams Center, New York. He invented the Dewey decimal book classification system, advocated spelling reform, and urged use of the metric system.

I honestly love the idea of OFMD taking real people from history, making fictionalized versions of them and turning those versions gay. It's such a Chad move and it should happen more often. I nominate Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc

Her crime fighting suit has changed a few times over the years, as has some of her personal choices regarding her vigilantism.
First and most note-worthy, Bee realized early on that for the mask of her suit to be snug enough for her overall comfort the shape of her hearing aids would be very visible and the snugness would press them in a way that hurt her ears. So, simply put, she doesn't wear her normal hearing aids when in the suit. Her spidey-sense is sensitive enough that she doesn't have to worry about a surprise attack from behind that she simply didn't hear.
Her first suit included a long-sleeved bodysuit, home-made mask that covered her whole head and neck, leggings, and a pair of converse.
Her second suit came along after events in her universe similar to MCU's Captain America: Civil War. Being recruited by Tony Stark and being given a suit by him. Though, she seriously disagreed with some of Tony's technological choices so she slipped out part-way through the fight to put her original mask back on.
The third suit was more just tweaking the second. After a long conversation with Tony about good intentions and unintended ableism, the internal hearing aids in her suit no-longer had a Comms Total Override to her turning them off. Instead, real-time captions appear in her HUD and she regained total control over the hearing aids.
Also included in the tweaks was an AI assistant she named Hopkins, after Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet who was one of the co-founders of the first permanent school for the deaf in North America.

A Historical and Etymological Dictionary of American Sign Language Emily Shaw, Yves Delaporte, Carole Marion
The story of how American Sign Language (ASL) came to be is almost mythic. In the early 19th century, a hearing American reverend, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, met a Deaf French educator, Laurent Clerc, who agreed to come to the United States and help establish the first school in America to…

would you like to hear the origins of American Sign Language according to my ASL professor?
great cause I’m gonna tell you
A minister named Thomas Gallaudet (might not be spelling that right, she’s telling the story orally so idk for sure) lived next to a little deaf girl and he was concerned about her education because there was no sign language for her at the time. So he decided to go to Britain to learn theirs for her
BUT THEY SAID NO
THEY WOULDN’T TEACH HIM
so he went to France to learn theirs instead which is way cool
but GB?!?!?!? The fuck????
