@lifeoflottie Well deserved!

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@lifeoflottie Yep!

@addie_1122 Say that they look fabulous.

Marty Sheargold’s comments about the Matildas were disgraceful. But what I’m struggling with? The silence. And the laughter.

This is how it happens. A bloke makes a disrespectful comment, and everyone around him lets it slide. It’s said behind closed doors, laughed off, tolerated.

That can’t happen anymore.

The Matildas deserve better. Women in sport deserve better. Hell, women everywhere deserve better.

If you wouldn’t cop it in public, don’t accept it in private. It’s not about being ‘soft’ or ‘PC’ - it’s about respect.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. Time to be better.

@songdo101 The gun buy back scheme is the biggest thing I have approved of from the LNP… rest of it has been pretty forgettable

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@carlyfindlay I’m sorry xo

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@Graemeinnes Bill Shorten had the original vision but when it went wrong, he left. That’s not a champion. Don’t grandstand him like you did with yourself with the failed cinema captioning debacle where you ignored the community’s wishes.

[Steven Capp @StevenCapp]

A fantastic outcome and direction. Congratulations to all involved.

We literally need just over $3000 now. Can you help? Two fantastic people who had their lives changed in the space of a few minutes, becoming paraplegic. Thank you!! Help Maria and Pip get their modified vehicle https://t.co/P2gmTX8aBA

Congratulations to one of my favourite work colleagues! Go Caitlin! @Cfstep

@lifeoflottie @Cfstep You kept that quiet Caitlin!@Cfstep congratulations!!

@Mehubbyandkids @SGInterpreting It reflects on you. Your peers measure you on what they hear and as a deaf person, you cannot hear if the terp is representing you accurately or appropriately. It’s a vulnerable and powerless place to be.

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@SGInterpreting It was a little soul destroying and trust breaking. We already have to work twice as hard in a hearing world and the lack of preparation by the terp impacts ME, not them. So prep is important, and so is using it!

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@SGInterpreting I gave prep material to a terp for a work conference I was presenting at. Arrived and when it was time for me to present she gave the voicing to the tandem last minute terp who wasn’t able to prep. My presentation was not delivered in a way that matched my professional ability.

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@carlyfindlay @RonniSalt Ridiculous!

[Marnie Kerridge @KerridgeMarnie]

@Mr_Rablin Possibly no research BUT as a Deaf individual, these are an accessible way for me to see other people’s opinions and responses. You miss a lot when you’re deaf and the opportunity to grow and learn by listening to others. This is one way.

@billshortenmp Shame on you all for what you have done. Sold out the people with disabilities who need the supports. Shame.

@Matt_Pinner I add the ones and then the tens and carry the one. I never did the rounding thing
