@quoththeraven I should have given this post with Nyle much more attention the first time. Thank you so much for posting.

@TruHart1 posted an earlier thread about him, too. He is a cutie and very informative -- the first thing I saw by him was a YouTube video about the important of hiring deaf actors for non-hearing roles because the way they sign is more expressive, and accurate, than hearing actors. I've also seen tweets of his about how inadequate closed captioning machines used at movie theaters are and advocating for the use of captioning in the movies themselves -- not necessarily at every showing, but at some to properly serve deaf customers. Just about everyone else in the world does automatic closed captioning.

I hate it when people post a photo, but perhaps fine in this case.
