Are there like... "everyday" knee pads or something of the like that exist for disabled people like me with injured knees that just want to clean their floor and bend and kneel onto the floor to grab things without crying? Knee braces don't seem like the correct thing to use but I don't know

(I realize I could ask an orthopedist but it's a Saturday night thought so lol)

See you Feb 1st 🫡

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out to the ASL Social Night at Pageturners Lounge!

When I was asked to take over as host for the night, I was nervous since I wasn’t sure if people would come, but friends and new people came! It was a great night if I do say so myself.

Image Description:
A large group of people are gathered inside a bar with wood-paneled walls. Most of them are sitting around two pushed-together tables, smiling and looking at the camera. The group is diverse, with people of different ages and appearances, some wearing casual clothes, hats, or glasses. Drinks are on the tables, and there are red cups and clear glasses. The atmosphere is warm and social, with others in the background in conversation. There’s festive greenery and small lights decorating the room, contributing to a welcoming ambience.

Chalkboard pub event sign with a decorative border, listing events and drink specials. The hours are written as "4 pm - late everyday." There is a "House Jam" section advertising a Tecate and Old Overholt shot for $5, with a drawing of a can and shot glass. The events are listed as:

12/20 - Carl's Karaoke
12/28 - Femme Open Mic
1/6 - ASL Social
1/11 - McCarthy Trenching
1/13 - Frances Birthday
1/17 - Carl's Karaoke
1/18 - Matea Jerkovic Trio
1/24 - Literary Pub Quiz
1/28 - Mikee Strongman
1/30 - Toddlater + Friends

Additional notes on the sign:

PTL: Your Home for the Buffalo Bills

Near the bottom right are illustrations of books and a whiskey glass. The bottom wood panel is decorated with green garland and warm yellow fairy lights. The background shows a white patterned ceiling and blue patterned wallpaper.

A printed sign on a yellow background, displayed upright in a clear plastic stand on a dark table. The sign contains the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet, showing the hand shapes for each letter from A to Z in rows, with simple black illustrations. At the top, it says "SIGN LANGUAGE ALPHABET" in uppercase letters inside a rectangular border. At the bottom, there is small text: "designed by freepik.com". The background includes dark wooden paneling with purple and blue lighting.

An Oregon cafe that takes orders in sign language has become a cherished space for the Deaf community, providing a unique gathering place as well as employment for those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

American Sign Language, or ASL, is the primary language at Woodstock Cafe in Portland, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Non-ASL speakers can use a microphone that transcribes their order onto a screen.

People have moved from across the country to work at the cafe because it can be hard for people who are deaf or hard of hearing to find jobs, Andre Gray, who helped open the cafe, told the news outlet in sign language.

As I get ready to come back to YouTube, here is some information on how to support a creator without spending a single dollar:

Screenshot of a social media comment exchange.

Andi Hickerson, whose profile picture is visible, says: “I’ve already subscribed. I try to watch every video. What else can I do to support you? Would it help to comment on the videos?” There’s a large colorful sticker below the text that says “Love This” with a pink heart in the word "This". The comment has a heart reaction.

Rikki Poynter, indicated as the author and with a blue verified checkmark, replies: “Andi Hickerson yes! Giving the video a thumbs up, commenting on the video, and sharing it are forms of engagement and help push the video out to people and the algorithm!” The reply ends with a folded hands emoji.
