In the edit video section, there's a tab for captions. You hit upload file there, and it will ask if it is a transcript or captions. If you click transcript, their auto timing thing will Take your transcript and guesstimate the timing. It isn't perfect but it's okay and it isn't anywhere near as bad as their auto transcription is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574526958190180906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-91453583163881332352013-03-28T20:23:36.712-04:002013-03-28T20:23:36.712-04:00Mike, I think I understand what you are saying abo...Mike, I think I understand what you are saying about this being a place of both discussion and healing.

What you have here, I would say, is a recipe for not only discussion (which is of course good in its own right) but also *healing* trauma online. It's difficult to put into words here because I'm aware of the fact that it may sound fantastical. More details as I get them. Before today, I had no idea what the state of the are is with respect to trauma. I feel like I stepped out of a time capsule into a hospital of the future.

Can I make one comment...Very powerful. Thank you.<br /><br />Can I make one comment for you to consider if you ever make a revised version of the film?<br /><br />I don't think this was intentional, but what came through to me was that the cure to loneliness is to find someone to have sex with. I know your blog well enough that I don't think you actually believe that. Obviously, lots of sexually active people are lonely, and there are plenty of people are are not sexually active, some who are romantically attached and some who are not, who are not lonely. So I wonder if there is a way to make that clearer. Maybe bringing up all the great things about romantic relationships, sex being a possibility, but not making it the point?<br /><br />Just a thought...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-17160724637586800032013-03-27T20:01:03.838-04:002013-03-27T20:01:03.838-04:00LOVE this!

Too bad the voices were robotic, though. <br /><br />The plastic penis made me laugh out loud. I've used a condom demonstrator in classes I've lead. I am always very aware that I'm carrying a wooden penis in a bad and should warn folks before I pull it out and plunk down on the table. Wouldn't want it looking at them while I was talking! ;-)wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-68082856851410183782013-03-27T13:37:15.534-04:002013-03-27T13:37:15.534-04:00Dave I absolutly love the way you are working towa...Dave I absolutly love the way you are working towards the goals for people with mental disabilities and for the right for everyone to love whomever they want. <br /><br />That is a great video in so many ways. <br />Thank you!<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-32281705477218473622013-03-27T08:48:52.268-04:002013-03-27T08:48:52.268-04:00It's exactly like that, although the cartoon &...It's exactly like that, although the cartoon "humorized" it. When I worked in group homes, the staff had to notify the parents if their offspring were even thinking about sex, and the parents had the last word about whether or not it was allowed. Same with relationships. If the parents didn't want their offspring to have a same sex relationship, for example, then it didn't happen. Of course that was thirty years ago, so hopefully some things have changed since then. I remember one woman whose parents dictated that she couldn't have sex unless she was married, and so she ended up marrying a young man, and both of them were perfectly miserable. They ended up divorcing, and the parents got to say, repeatedly, how right they were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-3898838904922652382013-03-27T00:14:03.786-04:002013-03-27T00:14:03.786-04:00OMG tell me it's not really like that?
