Sign Language: First Responses!

I’ve just received some super responses to the Sign Language call for participation. Thanks to Anna Jane (good luck with the MFA defense!), Sophie, Jhave, and Katja. Join in! Keep ’em coming! (Also, if you didn’t catch it, I was recently interviewed on CTV about signs, and used the opportunity to talk a little bit about this part of the project.)
