A date mix-up means I will now have to consume at least 10,000 calories’ worth of Xmas meals today: Xmas Lunch at work followed by Xmas Dinner with my flatmates at a local restaurant tonight. I’ll be in a deep food coma tomorrow. 🐷

Hello December ☃️❄️🎁🎄🌟🎅🏽🫂

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."
They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

So many languages I wanna learn; so little time.

I hardly ever use this app. I’m much more active on Threads where I get a lot of interaction from others on my posts. My posts on here hardly garner any attention... 😕

Under Hitler between 5,000 - 15,000 homosexual men were sent to the Nazi concentration camps where they were made to wear pink triangles.
The death rate for these men may have been as high as 60%.
It starts with intolerance and exclusion.
We know where the path ends.

‘Afterwards - in some more perfect society
Someone else who’s fashioned like me
Will surely appear and be free to do as he pleases.’

Hidden by Constantine Cavafy, written in 1908, when homosexuality was criminalised and gay men were forced to hide their desires or risk punishment.

The funniest comeback I’ve read online recently is ”I’d rather deep fat fry my pelvis.” Haven’t stopped laughing at the imagery for days. I think I’ll add this to my repertoire of comebacks.

When you deny my right to express myself in my own language you deny my right to exist too. #deaf #bsl #britishsignlanguage

Hearing employees think they have excellent communication skills until they meet deaf people.

What is the point of special assistance at the airport when no member of staff on site at any one time knows sign language at all?

A light breakfast before my flight to Barcelona for a well-deserved quick break and to visit my little brother ✈️🙌🏼

MyHeritageDNA has just updated again, this time adding Māori and Central Asian. This is interesting because my first AncestryDNA results had Central Asian and Polynesian.

The Irish passport is the best EU passport to have. Why? Because it affords you the same rights as a UK citizen, unlike any other EU passport, while at the same time allows you to live and work in the EU without restrictions (which the UK passport no longer has).

Add ‘Latin’ to Gulf of America: Gulf of Latin America. 🙌🏽

Golfo de Latinoamérica 💃🏽

Finding housing as a deaf person has its own challenges: communication barrier, discrimination, lack of accessibility, and lack of support and resources. This means that it can take much longer time for me to find a place...

And, no, I can't sleep 😭

Well, I'm back here again...
