Hi! I’m an ABC with ok Chinese speaking skills, but I want to teach it to my child, along with ASL. I tell her “doujiang” in Mandarin when I talk about soy milk, but the asl sign for soy milk is just “soy + milk”. Awhile back I think I saw that there is a great Chinese sign language sign for soy milk. I learned it the same time as when I learned the cute CSL for boba. I think it came from Taiwan. Does anyone know what it is, per chance?

If you don’t know it, do you know any good references I can search (that are not all in Chinese)?

(I also xposted to the Chinese language sub, since there isn’t a CSL sub. Wanted to maximize chance I get an answer.)

Hi! I’m an ABC with ok Chinese speaking skills, but I want to teach it to my child, along with ASL (American Sign Language).

(Mods: I hope this doesn’t break rule 1…there isn’t a CSL sub, and it’s still part of Chinese language.)

I want to declutter, and I want to just get rid of my femme clothes + jewelry + makeup. But I know I will suddenly change my mind one day. But I don’t have a lot of storage space and it’s already pretty cluttered. Anyone been frustrated by this before? Did you find a solution?

I want to connect with more LGBTQIA+ parents in the area. But why is it so hard to find them? I’ve met several lesbian parents, 1 NB parent, 0 trans parents, and surprisingly, 0 gay parents. Where is this community?

I started a little chat group on WhatsApp for LGBTQIA+ parents, but it’s still a small group. Anyone know where my South Bay parent peeps are at?

My hearing baby has a “my first 100 words” book. I am trying to find an asl equivalent. But I know that some baby sign language is taught by some people who just took a few asl classes. So I would love to know if there is a recommendation for a kid/toddler book for sign language that is created by someone within the deaf community. Something that is used for deaf babies, maybe? I would like my baby to learn asl, not simplified baby sign language. Thanks in advance!
(I apologize in advance if I’ve said anything offensive by not wanting baby sign language: if so, please let me know how to adjust what I say.)

There are conventions for everything. Is there a convention for trans/nb parents? Specifically thinking about birthing parents, but I know non-birthing trans/nb parents have struggles too.

If not, anyone know how to start one?

We’re on Phase 3 of no-cry sleep solution, which is don’t pick up baby unless they are really upset and crying. 15mo. Going ok. Except around 5 or 6am, she’ll still be rubbing her eyes. Her wake up time is 7am. But she screams like crazy unless we walk away from her crib. I’m trying to night wean, so I don’t want to give her milk again. I usually do one feed around 4am. But she won’t stop screaming. She sounds distraught. It doesn’t seem milk related. She just keeps pointing out the door.

Any ideas to get her to go back to sleep until 7?

Family member (let’s call them Frank) was scammed AGAIN. They were recently scammed while in Asia using LINE app. Came back to US, and scammer message again threatening to take Frank’s house he lives in. Frank is refusing to tell anyone what information was given. All we know is that a bank account number was given, and that he wired money to scammer twice: once for the “good investment” and second time after house threat.

Frank’s name is on my house’s title, along with myself. They do not live in my house. I have payed mortgage the entire time, and entire purchase process & credit check was done through me.

My question is: what kind of information would the scammer need to have to actuall

I’m so sick of putting these buttons back and looking up where they are supposed to go. 10 minutes after I put it back, my dog makes them fly all over the place. Did anyone come up with a solution for this?

If I glue it down, then I can’t change the battery.

If I add a label in the foam, dog claws at the label and it falls off. Any solutions that actually work?
