“one man’s apikoires is another man’s tzaddik” 🤷🏻‍♀️ תּלמידה פֿון ייִדיש / ASL interpreting student

[Dr. Cocchino 🌹 @COKCCL]

So this is making the rounds again. Reminder: Working w/ marginalized communities (esp. as an outsider) requires cultural & linguistic respect. As linguists we've an obligation to uphold & celebrate linguistic & cultural preferences w/o imposing hegemonic 'norms' #methodsmatter

[Dr. Cocchino 🌹 @COKCCL]

Apparantly, this needs to be said.

Stop hiring "sign language researchers" who don't sign."

Stop calling yourself a sign language researcher if you don't sign.

Stop exploiting deaf communities for data.

Stop fetishizing deaf brains.

@MichaelSkyer idk if you're looking specifically for native authors from modern canada, but i really think you would like Stephen Graham Jones. he's a blackfeet horror writer from so-called texas. so far i've read The Only Good Indians and Mapping the Interior, both v atmospheric and scary!

Sometimes I feel like Europeans don’t quite grasp just how big the US is.

Scientific American published an article featuring yours truly about how Zoom is affecting ASL (and other sign languages).

Today I was contacted by a research center asking:

"Who is researching this phenomena or collecting data on it?"

i had no idea drive through coffee shops were such a popular thing

[שולמית @5hulamis]
