Reunion review – this excellent British Sign Language thriller is an absolute revelation
The performances – including that of Rose Ayling-Ellis – are outstanding, while the way it switches between spoken and signed language is utterly seamless. It feels shocking that it's taken so long for a show like this to exist

Today is the start of the United Nations 16 days of activism against gender-based violence (GBV). This morning I was interviewed by the @bbcscotlandnewsnot.bsky.social Good Morning radio programme about our new @britishacademy.bsky.social funded project starting January 2025

This is very familiar…as a fluent signer and parent to deaf and hearing children, I was so often incensed by the medics’ and educators’ assumptions about developmental milestones and judging my children based on those hearing norms…

That’s it, winter’s here in Edinburgh. The woollens are on and the glove collection is in play. Cue sights of Scottish men wearing woolly hats with their shorts and t-shirts.

I enjoyed my foray over to Glasgow today for the British Deaf Association’s AGM. Great to see many familiar friendly faces and enthusiastically engaged deaf people. I am glad to be home with my cuppa and feet up though…but now I have to prepare for our ASLI AGM next week!

last night I joined the Deaf Action (Edinburgh) Film Club for a screening of “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On”. It was a wholesome, joy filled evening watching a clever sweet funny film and feeling community. A good BSL natter too :) There is much good in this world, and it was a reminder of that.
