High unemployment rates haunt disabled people because of #ableism, because of managers making assumptions about us. But if you want a competitive workforce, invest in #accessibility. Disabled people are talented. My #JobSeeker story habengirma.com/2024/02/10/rea… 1/5
If we wanted to watch dance during SuperBowl instead of ASL performances, we’d watch Dancing With The Stars.
I'm currently collecting data to build a comprehensive database on American Sign Language (ASL) programs across the United States. I'm excited to share some interesting statistics: 1. California boasts the highest number of ASL programs, totaling 104. Part 1
KSD is seeking to hire our new Principal. docs.google.com/document/d/1n8… Resumes and letters of interest should be directed to: Amy Hislope, Division of Resource Management 303 South Second Street Danville, KY 40422 E-mail: [email protected]
I am part of a research group that is recruiting deaf adults who learned ASL before age 6 to better understand how sense is made of text across languages. If you’re in the Atlanta area, consider participating! This is a paid opportunity. Share to anyone who might be interested!

People are willing to spend serious money on shoes, clothes, purses, accessories, phones, concert tickets, vehicles, plane tickets, alcohol, parties, etc. But, when it comes to needing ASL interpreters, they balk at them being too expensive or excessive. Girl, please!

It’s funny how non-Deaf people love to say that the average readablility level of Deaf people is 5th/6th grade level. Yet, they never compared it to themselves which is 7th/8th grade level.
Non-signing people, you don’t get to comment whether someone is signing beautifully or suspiciously.
My Deaf-centred children’s book BUTTERFLY ON THE WIND is available for preorder wherever books are sold! (Yep. I’m going from a devastating horror novel to an uplifting kid’s book. I contain multitudes.)
We are saddened to learn of the passing of deaf linguist Dorothy Casterline, who was instrumental in the early signed language research at #GallaudetU. She is also the coauthor of the "Dictionary of American Sign Language on Linguistic Principles," better known as the DASL. (1/2)

A week ago, I came up with this joke as a way to vent about interpreting. It wasn't about white interpreters; it's about not having black male interpreters to work with when I needed them. I was working with the editor on the documentary film, "Signing Black in America." *thread*
I have developed an odd craving for pumpkin spice latte lately. I tried to understand where it came from but then it hit me. For most of my life with ASL interpreters, my default speaking persona is a white woman. It makes sense. #HalfKidding #ItsTrueThough

I worry for deaf people who can only access mental health counseling via telehealth. Many states have no qualified therapists fluent in ASL with knowledge of how deafness shapes our mental health. And plenty of therapists who refuse to comply with ADA.
On March 9th, Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act into law. This will end telehealth under Medicare. Private insurance will surely follow. This is a final lifeline for many of us. This is an act of willful harm against vulnerable people. pyapc.com/insights/conso…

I'm currently collecting data to build a comprehensive database on American Sign Language (ASL) programs across the United States. I'm excited to share some interesting statistics: 1. California boasts the highest number of ASL programs, totaling 104. Part 1
Maybe we should stop framing deaf education research against "typical hearing peers." How is this meaningful? It''s never differences, but deficits. And it confers "normalcy" on hearingness.
There is no such thing as a “small deaf school” versus a “big deaf school.” All are offered deaf education. All students achieved.
@QueerDeaf @graystorm They’re lying. Go find the Dean in person. The website will tell you where the office is.
@graystorm This was the disability services people and they said I can’t have the Deans contact information but I’m looking into an ombudsperson currently
i called in two hearing interpreters for CPC violations, gently to the best of my ability. i then shared this situation w/ the hiring agency, and the agency told me i was making accusations, even though i have evidence.. it is SICK to see abled/hearing folks defending each other
