Each social media post in our collection has been linked below along with their citation and an ELAN transcript.
We are grateful to the creators for permitting us to share their posts. With guidance from CARE and FAIR guidelines, which are ways to care for digital data and making them open but in ways our ASL communities prefer. We also acknowledge, respect, and celebrate different language experiences - there is no one right way to use language.

Open access, citing, and transcripts
We ask you to please treat each participant's contribution with respect and care. All of our videos are open access, which means they can be publicly viewed and shared. They are licensed as CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 which means you may share, adapt but not for profit and with credit to our project. You can cite our project as a whole or see specific citation information under each video.
We have created ELAN transcripts for each post, often using creators' original captions as a base for our English translations, and adding ID glosses using ASL Signbank for individual signs as well as notes about changes to signing because of emboxed discourse. All transcripts are available on our OSF project page. The English translations are available as captions in the video and in our transcripts (or eafs). The ID glosses, which are sign-by-sign English labels to make the video data machine-readable, are only available in our transcripts (or eafs) which we created through ELAN. You need to download the ELAN program to open .eafs but you can also right-click and open them as text-only files to read them in their xml format. To read more about how we process our data, see this. Annotators for SoMe ASL are Julie A. Hochgesang (JAH) and Cem Barutcu (CB), both deaf and fluent in ASL.
