Captioning Awareness Week is here! Did you know 1 in 3 UK adults are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing? That's 18 million people! Join us in making arts accessible for the 18 million and more through captioning. #CaptioningAwarenessWeek

It’s great seeing so many people share resources that can help those who may be at risk for multitude of reasons after the current election but PLEASE make sure these resources are accessible. Image descriptions, closed captioning/subtitles, and video descriptions are important.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

We have been proud to represent Reece Richards since the beginning of his career. We have watched with pride as his path in the industry has progressed with roles on stage and television and we have felt privileged to support him on every step of his journey.

[Jenny Köhring @JennyKoehring]

Impactful statistic from Mike Ballinger: interpreters are often exposed to stark emotions and trauma on the job. Our go-to support is from peers and family. We must find appropriate ways of looking after ourselves and each other to ensure career longevity. #efsliconference2024

[RNID @RNID]

We’re excited to tune into #Paris2024 #Paralympics from now until 8 September, with coverage in British Sign Language (BSL), including live afternoon shows on @Channel4 with @clarebalding and @RoseAylingEllis.

Yes I said what I said!

[Lisa Li @LisaLiBSL]

#DeafTwitter Anyone have distinctive #BSL signs for
- Duke
- Earl
- Baron?

'Knight' will also be involved - I have a sign for that. Might also be able to borrow a sign from Europe for 'Baron'.

Want to avoid fingerspelling. May extrapolate by rankings of each role.

Thanks!

Delighted #Cantonese & #JyutPing are finally featured via #GoogleTranslate

[Melissa Chan @melissakchan]

Google Translate finally adds Cantonese support! Thanks to AI. The language has generally confounded online translation, with Mandarin translation inadequate because of Canto's colloquial nature + Canto-specific characters, etc. often turning out garble. https://t.co/FrWi9jViyz
