This is a very long thread, reporting on a hearing for Rümeysa Öztürk, the college student who was snatched by ICE on video.
I understand only some of it. What’s important here is that there’s a glimmer of hope. The ACLU is fighting for her, and the judge is listening. That’s monumental in the fight against fascism.

We’ve all been there before: Having a conversation in a noisy environment but not making out every word of the person speaking to you. A simple trick might help with that. @ScienceAlert has more:
I'm not very good at remembering to use my hearing aids when we're at home.
But, it is astonishing how much bird song I'm missing out on.
Without them, it's just the distant rumble of the motorway, but with them the birds predominant, and the motorway is a bit less noticeable.

I've got the absolute CRAZIEST thing going on with my #Linux workstation right now. (#LinuxMint 22.1 Xia)
I am #hearing #WATER like waves crashing ashore every 10-15 minutes. It's a #short clip, 3? Maybe 4 seconds long?
For the life of me I can't figure out what in the hell is generating this noise! I don't have THAT many apps running or windows open.

I seriously wonder if I've got malware (unlikely though - I only install software from reputable sources). Not to mention I've never heard of malware that plays an audio file every 10-15 minutes of fucking water.

Tinnitus may be a phantom percept — when our brain activity makes us see, hear or smell things that aren't there. But that doesn’t make the annoying (or worse) condition any easier for those who suffer from it. @ScienceAlert shares recent research that may help us better understand tinnitus.
Why? Cuz time is scarce. The Deaf world isn't a cozy little bubble. It's a fleeting space carved out between the demands of a hearing centric society. Conversations have a countdown. No luxury of endless chatter. No room for greasing the social wheels.
The #hearing world loves its linguistic detours. Padding every comment with "no offense" or "just saying" as if softening the blow makes the truth easier to swallow.
Say what you mean. Say it fast. Say it right. Direct. Not blunt.

Filter trouble? Why audiologists worry noise-cancelling tech may impair hearing skills
Damn I just bought a set of Bose noise-cancelling headphones.
