‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.

The literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (and one of my favorite authors) has passed. 😔
Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece. He has many greats.
I'm glad I got to meet him a few times (I always encouraged him to write a science fiction novel...he said he'd consider it).

The USA is NOT ceasing all milk testing. Many of you have seen www.reuters.com/business/hea... which reads "US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts"
These cuts SUCK, but all milk testing is NOT ceasing. Thread on milk testing:

You probably have to view full-screen to see what is happening here-- baby great horned owl is watching his upstairs neighbor, the starling, who is watching the baby owl. Just incredible to witness! 🪶

Disabled people have been warning about this since 2020. We've now got tons of scientific articles about post-covid illness/disability and the relationship between repeat covid infections and other health conditions. I hope you'll take a minute to follow some PWD and ask your friends to wear masks.
So it's not just me? Is this one of the worst seasons we've had with non-COVID respiratory illnesses in recent memory? I see people getting sick constantly, like once a month every single month. My son's high school has been just full of sick kids since early November, kids are missing LOTS of days

Turns out the movie was dubbed to English! They must have dubbed the #bird sounds, too 🤦🏼♂️
Just started watching Heidi, which takes place in the Swiss Alps, and within a minute there was a red-tailed hawk calling 😩
I even verified with the Merlin App. Whyyy. 🪶
