hi nyle! i know you didn’t mean any harm by posting this, but peter has said that he doesn’t support inmates having the right to vote! this is an issue bc mass incarceration effects black and brown people at a disproportionate rate. please reconsider supporting him

But that would be a concern about reforming the criminal justice system to keep the innocent men black and brown out. The basis of the stance is inmates paying for the crimes they committed not keeping ethnic communities from voting necessarily.

While I comepletey get where you are coming from I’d wait to see his policy on the wrongful incarceration issues before jumping to a judgement! :)

b cool if he published policies though

that’s cool, but what are his policies?

I hope you know he is just pandering.

Unless andy is in jail, at that point, andy is no longer a citizen to peter! Search better Nyle, please.

My signing sucks, but was the holding of the elbow typical? This was a really nice gesture though.

no, not typical for fluent ASL users but people who are just learning tend to do the elbow holding more I’ve noticed

When fingerspelling?

For any of. When I was Learning ASL we didn't hold the elbow for those words. Also, my signing is not great, so that's why I asked.

Oh yeah. I never do that either and haven’t really seen that

yes, when fingerspelling. you shouldn’t hold your arm but sometimes people who are learning feel like their hands can’t stay still without it, it’s better to not have that habit though so good if you don’t do that!

Never seen it or done it.

pointing at your wrist/arm typically indicates something of importance is going to be fingerspelled, all of my Deaf professors do this when signing
