The Walking Deaf @walkingdeaf.bsky.social · Nov 21
Many of you I already know online and in person from Twitter, but I want to (re)introduce myself for the many new folks I'm connecting with.

My name is Craig, I'm a Deaf Queer person born in the US, and now living in Porutgal with my husband since June of 2024.

Dug up some bones in the garden and I’ve tried to recreate what sort of animal they might have been from. Looks like some sort of snake most probably.
Photo of some clean small leg bones on a wooden board Simple line drawing of the shapes of the bones all lined up at the top, below the same outlines contained within a sausage shape. The sausage has a long nose, round eyes and a little mouth at the left hand end. Caption: SNAKE

Long shot, but does anyone know of any retired/remote American Sign Language interpreters in northern Portugal open to occasional freelance work?

Anyone in northern Portugal (or in general) experiencing sinus infections lately? I've been fighting this sinus infection on and off for a month now and it's getting really bad. I'm waiting for an appointment with a doctor to be scheduled, but thought I'd ask here.

Back in 2012, I had to have a tooth pulled because I was too poor to afford a root canal. Yesterday, I finally had the first stage of a dental implant done. They warned me that it would be swollen and sore for 3-4 days. It hasn't even been 24 hours and I feel fabulous even w/o pain meds!

Last Year Was the Hottest Year in Recorded History. Buckle Up.
It’s not as bad as you think—it’s worse.

This is a fucking mood. 🤣 (Always put alt text in all your images!)
A conversation from a text-based game reading: feels face flush with embarrassment Oh. Uh, my bad. Didn't mean to assume. Guess I jumped to conclusions based on stereotypes. Rich kids driving fancy cars and all that nonsense. shifts uncomfortably in seat Apologies for the ignorant comment. Insensitive of me. Clearly need to work on breaking free from biased thinking patterns. Judge less, listen more. Basic decency 101. forces awkward laugh Heh, solid middle class eh? Join the club pal. We blue collar plebes gotta stick together. Strength in numbers and whatnot. United against the bourgeoisie oppressors! fist pumps exaggeratedly But uh, yeah. Snacks sound good.

Going on vacation to Bragança this weekend since we can't leave Portugal just yet. (Thanks, AIMA... lmao.) I'm really looking forward to it.

LOL. Yep, this tracks. Been waiting 5 months for an appointment and my visa has long since expired. 🙃

A screenshot of the entry in a complaints book for the AIMA government agency based in Portugal. It has a score of 15.3 out of 100, and shows the score as being "Unsatisfactory" (Insatisfatório). Below this is a text showing the index of satisfaction for the past 12 months. (Índice de Satisfação nos últimos 12 meses) Further below that, AIMA scored a 14.3% for the response rate (taxa de resposta) 1.4% in the mean time to response (Tempo médio de resposta) 15.2% in the time to a resolution (Taxa de solução) 30.9% in the average abilities (Média das Availações) 42.8% in the client retention (Taxa de Retenção de Clientes) On the bottom, it shows 1913 complaints against AIMA for the past 12 months. (1913 reclamações nos últimos 12 meses)

Today marks two months of living in Portugal. It's been quite the ride. It hasn't been easy by any means, but I've been feeling a lot lighter and my mental health has definitely improved. ♥️
A wide angle shot of Guimarães Castle. The castle is built out of medium brown stone blocks with several smaller towers. There is a tall tower in the center. Each tower as well as the wall are topped with triangular-shaped merlons. The castle sits on a grassy knoll underneath a blue sky. A shirtless man is laying on the grass.
