Language Is The Foundation Of Civilization. It Is The Glue That Holds A People Together. It Is The First

whenever i'm not in school i romanticize it so much i'm always like "man i can't wait to write essays again" no you don't are you insane

Phew! It’s finished! Thank you to @embergeist and @mllebree for your help with some of the ASL. It’s been fun dusting off the cobwebs and relearning some sign language I’d forgotten over the years. I’m still playing around with the best ways to have Quasi “talk.” A lot of sign language involves motion which is tricky in static images. I did leave out some pronouns here and there like “I, me, her, etc” just to try to avoid Quasi looking too much like an octopus.

I think sometimes we get so caught up in how a translation can never be a copy of the original that we forget what an amazing job many translators do every day and how a good translation can add layers and meaning to the original and I think that's beautiful
