It’s International Day of Disability
I like to take this day to remind everyone that I am a whole and complete person as a DeafDisabled person. I am PROUD to be a DeafDisabled person.
Pity isn’t needed but accessibility, education and inclusion is.

Disabled isn’t a bad word
Deaf isn’t a bad word
Autistic isn’t a bad word
Please use them instead of whatever awful words you make up to replace them instead.

Today I was introduced as “A person without hearing”
Hey I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can just say Deaf. Deaf isn’t a bad word? Why do we jump through hoops to say anything except Deaf or even Disabled?
Person without hearing was a new one and I never want to see that again lol

Please, read articles by trans and queer journalists. Their authentic voices are so important. You don’t need to settle. We’re here, we’re queer and we’re reporting on what matters to the community.

The medical offices switch from “Let’s make sure to schedule an ASL interpreter because the appointment is in 2 months and the patient literally needs one”
to “We have VRI that’s the same thing- I’m not going to bother.” Needs to end. In person interpreting is not the same as VRI.

Imagine if all the people who told me they wanted to learn ASL “for me”- ever did? Or all the people who just said it in general actually follow through? What a different world it would be

I was trying to think of something intelligent to say about how many more deaf kids we are about to have from rubella and measles, while we simultaneously delete all accessibility/special ed protections, but "fuck" is pretty much all I could come up with.

Now seems like a good time for reintroductions! (I'm procrastinating.) I'm a deaf queer Philly-based writer. 3 books from Random House-- most recently TRUE BIZ, though GIRL AT WAR feels annoyingly relevant to the current moment. Into books, baseball, community activism, and signed languages. 👋🏼
