It sucks because some people in the comments I’ve known and worked with for a long time and they just can’t seem to separate Anti-Zionism from Anti-Semitism.

Just saw a post and a ton of comments condemning students graduating from GALLAUDET that either waved the Palestinian flag or wore the keffiyeh with their gowns. … and a lot of Deaf community members are showing their true colors.

Gallaudet came up with a new name sign for Coke (THE DRINK) but it’s just C-O-K-E. How is that a name sign?

Last year when we got an air filter, I remember having the most bizarre dreams. That faded away eventually but my partner replaced the filter yesterday and omggg… I just had the WEIRDEST dream that I’m still shooketh about.

I am CONVINCED that introducing an air purifier to your bedroom will give you the most vivid and weirdest dreams.

Ew. I just got an email about a workshop discussing how interpreting will need to adapt to AI, and how to integrate it in their practice. What really put me off is this quote: AI will not replace interpreters—but interpreters who embrace AI and emotional intelligence will replace those who don’t.

Disabilty community! I need your help finding a TikTok! There was this skit by this lady that was like “if people treated breaking the law like ADA violations” and I can’t findddd ittt. She says something like “oh you’ve [insert egregious crime]. I should file a complaint about this”

Maybe I’m just a hater… but I would like to see more Deaf movies that don’t center around White people… that’s just me.

But on the contrary there seems to be a thriving Deaf community on Xiaohongshu, but a hearing white man is like capitalizing on our culture.

I joined another app 📕 (just to lurk for now) and of course, the first thing I see when searching “deaf” is an American hearing coda and I’m a little miffed. 😤

White people will really start a meeting with “community agreements” to address potential harm but when the actual harm gets addressed, all of a sudden, there’s not enough time because we have to “get through everything” in the meeting.

Hey I’m always here for the murder references. Also, you can DM me if you prefer but I’m curious to know more about why you’re not a fan - would love to know your perspective!

It’s a real mindfuck to have a Speech and Hearing clinic right next to the School of Social Work. One wrong turn and I’m back to my childhood trauma. Good thing there are social workers around though.

Ahh, yes, I believe it’s the C-hand shape with the palm facing your neck as if to choke and making an upward circular motion… from what I can remember from my grad class at Gallaudet.

Is it just me or does the free version of Grammarly impose on one’s voice in writing? I feel like the little paywall-blocked yellow suggestions are so anxiety inducing that I feel like is forcing me into this grammatically correct but dry style of writing.

“Oh but there’s an interpreter shortage!” Then work on the barriers that prevent people from choosing that line of work than contribute to the environmental and cultural damage that AI causes.

#HotTake: Developing AI sign language interpreters will lead to the degradation of sign language artistry and expression, not to mention further suppress dialects and accents unique to BIPOC communities.

#Throwback to when my coworker got reprimanded by HR for using AI to make image descriptions because it kept misgendering all my other coworkers. And to think he still had the audacity to suggest that we can use AI to come up with names for our rebranding… for a Deaf organization.

I don’t know if it’s disability consciousness or if ableism is actually getting worse as I get older? I’m seeing a lot more inspiration porn, a lot of slurs being resurfaced, and just outright hostility… and yes I do think COVID is a part of it…

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row. “Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.
