Hi 👋🏼 @prisonculture.bsky.social My 7th graders are in need of snacks to help get them through the day. A lot of times, the school provided breakfast/lunch is simply not enough. Any donation or RP would be appreciated.

NIH slashed 80% of funding for programs that support deaf scientists. The Trump admin's message is clear - exclusion & further marginalization.
We reject that. Science is for everyone.

"the designation “dip hop”... signals an independent style grounded in both hip-hop and Deaf culture. Like bounce, trap and drill, the label “dip hop” makes a greater distinction from being a variation of rap to a style that is heavily situated within Deaf culture and determined by Deaf aesthetics."
Deaf rappers who lay down rhymes in sign languages are changing what it means for music to be heard
Dip hop artists move across the stage, hands flying through the air, as audiences pulse to the rhythm of a blasting bass beat.

Transitions. As the Summer break arrives. We are thinking of the children and young people whose anxiety will increase over the Summer as they don’t know what’s happening in August. Summer isn’t restful if you need this planning to have been sorted out and the work wasn’t done. As usual.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I’m not hearing the words “arbitrary & capricious” enough these days. There are laws protecting us against the actions of agencies that are irrational in this way. The funds would come through an agency, like the Education Dept, not from Trump’s pocket.
