Just saw a post and a ton of comments condemning students graduating from GALLAUDET that either waved the Palestinian flag or wore the keffiyeh with their gowns.
… and a lot of Deaf community members are showing their true colors.

Ew. I just got an email about a workshop discussing how interpreting will need to adapt to AI, and how to integrate it in their practice. What really put me off is this quote: AI will not replace interpreters—but interpreters who embrace AI and emotional intelligence will replace those who don’t.

Maybe I’m just a hater… but I would like to see more Deaf movies that don’t center around White people… that’s just me.

I joined another app 📕 (just to lurk for now) and of course, the first thing I see when searching “deaf” is an American hearing coda and I’m a little miffed. 😤

White people will really start a meeting with “community agreements” to address potential harm but when the actual harm gets addressed, all of a sudden, there’s not enough time because we have to “get through everything” in the meeting.

Such a good threaddddd… my skin are clear, nature is healing
I vee-vee the debates in the deaf community about signs like ‘sun’ and ‘sing’ being ‘wrong’ because they differ from the original signs used by “heritage language users” like deaf-of-deaf families who go to deaf schools. Some of them even call these signs grammatically incorrect. 1/

It’s a real mindfuck to have a Speech and Hearing clinic right next to the School of Social Work. One wrong turn and I’m back to my childhood trauma. Good thing there are social workers around though.

Is it just me or does the free version of Grammarly impose on one’s voice in writing? I feel like the little paywall-blocked yellow suggestions are so anxiety inducing that I feel like is forcing me into this grammatically correct but dry style of writing.

#HotTake: Developing AI sign language interpreters will lead to the degradation of sign language artistry and expression, not to mention further suppress dialects and accents unique to BIPOC communities.
