I’ll never forget the time in junior high where all my friends all signed a petition to get ASL recognized as a second language so I could get out of Spanish. #CODA

Proud to be a CODA.

It’s difficult to wrap my mind that this is still occurring on a daily basis across the U.S.

[WCJB TV20 News @WCJB20]

Deaf people across North Central Florida are faced with communication barriers on a daily basis, but in extreme cases, this could mean life or death. https://t.co/A6dwwDLt7A

Every ER doc has a “I pulled […] out of someone’s rectum” story. But this one is the bomb.

@drcopps 0.3 mg/kg ketamine. Not classified as a sedation, minimal to none respiratory concerns and great analgesia. Done.

@nfltopgun Today, my leg hurt. I ate a sandwich. My leg pain went away. The sandwich saved my life. I too survived. It had nothing to do with the ibuprofen I took. #TurkeyOnWhite

Go Riverside!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The varsity football team at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside, is undefeated this season.

Trevin Adams, the team's quarterback, said playing with fellow deaf teammates is liberating: "We can express ourselves completely. We can be leaders." https://t.co/jmCwrNg0U1

This wouldn’t be even a thought at any other point in time but CVS must now think there is a chance SCOTUS might side with them on this and that’s scary.

[ACLU @ACLU]

A company that makes huge profits from providing medications — many of which are for people with disabilities — now has the audacity to attack our ability to be included in the fabric of society. https://t.co/azaAg8LTpQ

“kids who wear the hearing aids less than 10 hours per day show the opposite trajectory where they’re falling further behind”

Or we could stop language deprivation in children, teach American Sign Language, and have equivalency without a crutch. #ASL

[HearingTracker @HearingTracker]

University of Iowa researchers have been following 300 children with hearing loss for nearly 14 years, and their findings are changing lives, the field of #audiology, and public policy. @uiowa

Looking forward to @deafnation Florida!

[IV Mirus, MD @IVMirus]

@joshmcgoo There’s a lot of good channels on IG for vocab. YouTube videos would be better for grammar. Nothing can take the place of immersion and instruction though!

[IV Mirus, MD @IVMirus]

Throwback to when the pandemic started. Looking forward to when it ends. #deafhealth
