Hello, my name is Kris and as the title states I am soon to be deaf as I have some inner ear issues that will require having the middle ear bones removed from my right ear and my left ear is already mostly deaf. I'm really enjoying learning ASL so far and I'm looking forward to being able to still hold conversations with some even though I won't really be able to hear. I hope everybody had a good Christmas and wish everybody a happy new year!

halftime show thoughts?

Firstly, I loved the superbowl halftime show, as a non Spanish speaker! I thought it was a lot of fun! And then I saw clips of PRSL/ LSPR translators preforming as well and I felt so touched for those who felt represented! I couldn't understand the signs, but I had a smile and was dancing the whole time watching it! What did you guys think??

Interpreting Songs

I've heard from a deaf discord group that interpreting songs isn't ok and goes against deaf values, but I then came across a content creator who was interpreting songs, by the artist I was planning to do at that. (Stray Kids if you're curious) I'm hearing, and very very new into sign. I'm just wondering if my self interpreting songs would be ok? I would start with SEE, but I hope to eventually do it in proper ASL. Just hoping for advice. Thanks!!
