@GC_Rail @grandcentral I didnt tag @GC_Rail! I was trying to tag @Bullring

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

Only one disabled loo in @grandcentral Apparently not important enough to fix. And someone has been in the other disabled loo for 10 mins unlocked not using it.

@StarbucksIre out of the handful branches I’ve been to- they DO not stock peppermint syrup, whhhhhy?! So much for being a ‘green’ country. Wish there were more indie coffee shops in rural places.

@natalyadell @beccajiggens @RBraadshaaw I thought as of this April there was a law to allow wfh requests but that is for new contracts I think.
I found this a bit useful

@ConnorScottG I get you- I’m DeafBlind, the amount of time people say ‘wow’ when I say I work full time. It’s shocking people think we are incapable of doing things like making our own cuppa let alone hold down a job

@Limping_Chicken This is something I would watch however can I clarify the wording ‘first deaf-led video podcast’
Does this mean first to talk about careers or first ever deaf-led podcast? If it’s the latter you need to watch @socially__sound they do deaf-led video podcasts & have done for years

@RachelCDailey DeafBlind here, Applied for transport support in June. Was told would take up to 30 weeks before it would be processed. So 17 weeks to go…

Not me trying to explain to my GP surgery that ‘booking’ an interpreter from a multi-language agency does not mean the agency has actually booked someone & the surgery DOES need to check before the appt that the booking was filled.
Them: the interpreter has been booked. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@CarmensStory Birmingham hosted it. Council now ‘bankrupt’ maybe that one year on festival post commonwealth wasnt a great idea.

@AngieBeatDown Haribo which was £1.55

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@AngieBeatDown Balancing low (hurry up pay day), the side nearest to the loo, toilet rolls, green thai curry, 2 pillows

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@NovicSara Went to a forum once about making a venue accessible. Was the only disabled person in the room & was ignored. So I just walked out of the meeting. They were so busy being loud advocating for their disabled child that they actually drowned out an actual disabled adult’s voice

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

Just had an hosp appt, due to the rescheduled dates, they forgot to rebook the terp… luckily I have the @SignLiveUK app as part of the DP I get.- appt done!
@NHSEngland really needs to provide Plan B (VRS) when Plan A (a terp hasn't been booked or other reasons) #DeafHealthcare

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@AngieBeatDown How about one of these car ones- baby on board, move if you don't want to get run over by a Blind Mama

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@majellamcateer It will be strange going back to a lot of changes! You will be grand and bring a wealth of knowledge they could gain from.

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@RNIB @DeafblindUK @sensecharity you need to advocate for a DeafBlind category to the SI and SSI CVI critertia. the DeafBlind Community are not getting the support we need due to the classification created by the @DHSCgovuk in 2018

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@ambideafkid @thatdeafgirlkj https://t.co/VBoF4HuWOk then click on if cant use telephone and all that hoopla Should get through

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

I came across this and had a wee think. This is my opinion, I feel the deaf community needs to be better at this. I am not sure why deaf abusers are being allowed to be 'successful'? How do we stop this?https://t.co/Filr2ntsQb

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

@ambideafkid My sign name is one hand ‘D’ signed like ‘what’ in BSL and people always go ‘vast ASL’
Er no my Deaf Irish parents use ISL which is one handed and gave me the sign name. ASL isnt the supreme SL pah!

[BookyGeeky (she/her) @BookyGeeky]

To add to the PSA- other sign languages exist outside of the USA too...

[Lydia @LydiaGratis]

PSA…

Deaf people exist outside of the USA too 🙃
& thats not the only place where the talent is…
