Deaf Gay/married Latino in the DMV area.
ASL professor and sometimes Deaf interpreter. Ed.D. in higher ed.
I can do conversational IS - beginner level. I enjoy chatting with international Deaf people.
Whenever I can, I travel the world.
I really enjoyed Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix because the Creature gets to tell his story. One of the best Frankenstein movies.

So sad about the shooting at Bondi Beach.

The ad by Solitaire Clash is cringe. Hearing-impaired? Really?!?!

Deaf is not a bad four-letter word.

Dear Hollywood,

I really don’t need to see vomit coming out of mouths. No need to make them chunky or gelatinous either. The actors can do them behind trees or closed doors. I’m good with that.

Thanks!

Hubby bought a new TV this past weekend. After setting it up, the first thing that comes up in the “home page” is an advertisement. Every single time. WTF?!?!?

Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets was disappointing. It’s time to be done with the Robert Langdon series.

Question for CPAP users:

After using CPAP through the night, do you smell rubber, or any other persistent odor, throughout the day?

If so, tips?

86% of Deaf Ecuadorians who don’t know sign language want to learn Ecuadorian Sign Language (LSEC) but access and affordability remain major barriers.

When the hubby and I are already discussing summer trips. Getting closer to have visited all 50 states. (Will have 4 states left after Summer 2026). So excited!

A must-read for those who teach ASL and/or interpreting!
Why We’re Different: The State of American Sign Language Interpreter Education | MultiLingual
The author examines the underlying reasons behind the ASL interpreter shortage and suggests strategies for creating a more robust pipeline.

Last weekend was the annual Deaf LGBT Social during the Gallaudet Homecoming. It was held at Kiki bar as was last year. Damn, drinks were $$$!
One had teq sunrise (double) and it was $45. Another had rum & Coke and it was $26.
Bars are gonna lose business if drinks are this $$$.

Bring Her Back on HBO Max was one fucked up movie! Had me peeking through my fingers at times.

Dune Prophecy on HBO Max was so good! It takes place 10,000 before Paul Atreides. But, only six episodes?!?!? C’mon! We better not have to wait 3 years for another short season.

My ASL students told me they learned the sign for Labubu this past weekend from Deaf people at an ASL social event. I bet now that I have seen it, I’ll see it everywhere.

It’s October! Means what? The annual Gallaudet Homecoming social for Deaf LGBTIQA+ community! Last year, we had a huge turnout! Let’s do it again!

Sean Norman, Bradley Brown, and I will serve as your hostesses!

See you there! Spread the word to your rainbow brothers and sisters!

Last night, I posted on FB about having psoriasis. Really awesome to see people commenting that they have it too. Sometimes, we have to take that brave step by talking about it and then everyone chimes in.

Interesting how, on Facebook, NAD turned off comments in their videos related to the board’s hiatus. They say they’re being transparent but when you don’t allow the public to comment, how is that fostering transparency? Transparency is not a one-way street.

HONEST! I was watching a video on FB and an ad popped up in the middle. WTF?!?!
