upholding the dignity of those living inside broken bodies…

It can feel really tough to see people born with disabilities, but is that actually fair to think? Maybe our perspectives need a little shifting. Take a moment test your own point of view...

The technology described in this segment is so fabulous!
And I love that the composer and librettist are giving nonspeakers a voice!

Opera uses AI to give people with non-verbal disabilities a voice

Laut Financial Times zahlt Apple 2 Milliarden Dollar für Q.ai, ein KI-Audio-Startup, das Gesichtsausdrücke/Mimik nutzt, um Menschen ohne Worte zu verstehen. Bei dem Deal geht es auch um die Nutzung von optischer Sensortechnologie, die in Kopfhörer oder Brillen integriert werden kann, um „Mikrobewegungen der Gesichtshaut“ zu erkennen und so beispielsweise nonverbale Gespräche mit einem KI-Assistenten zu ermöglichen.

Apple’s second biggest acquisition ever is an AI company that listens to ‘silent speech’

Apple’s paying a reported $2 billion for AI audio startup Q.ai, and its technology that recognizes facial expressions for silent communication.

I so love this! It reminds me that my most common way of communicating in scenes are body motion and non-verbal auditory expressions. No one playing with or observing me misunderstands how I’m feeling.

My most difficult challenge with scenes is starting them in the first place. So many sensory and social cue barriers! In private sex parties, I’m way more comfy going straight to the play rooms and let the touch cues do their magic.

There is something weird appeasing and calming about suddenly feeling non-verbal (some people refer to it as verbal shutdown).

Everything is so quiet and calm. My head slows down quite a lot as well, probably because I'm depressed and shutting down, but in a strange way, what is supposed to be a negative symptoms actually fills like my brain slowly resetting itself back to a safe state. It's empty, but I enjoy the stillness of it, it's calm.

Spektrakulär - Folge 21 - Sonderfolge Teil 1: "Als hätte ich 9 Jahre lang ein Pflaster auf dem Mund gehabt."

In unserer ersten Sonderfolge lernt ihr Pia Kollbach kennen. Sie hat uns zusammen mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Vater im Studio besucht. Denn Pia kann nicht sprechen. Aber sie schreibt, und zwar mit Hilfe von Assistenz durch eine andere Person. Meist ist das ihre Mutter. Auch bei uns im Studio saß Brigitta Kollbach neben ihrer 32 Jahre alten Tochter.

A volte il corpo capisce prima di tutto.
Prima delle parole, prima della testa, prima della buona educazione.
C’è chi ti arriva addosso come una stonatura, e non sai spiegare perché.
Non servono grandi teorie: semplicemente non ti appartiene, e lo senti.

Sometimes the body understands before anything else.
Before words, before thoughts, before politeness.
Some people hit you like a wrong note, and you can't explain why.
No big theory behind it: they’re just not for you, and you feel it.
