Twitter always comes through, so I'm sharing this here. I'm putting together a list of Black & Brown deaf academics in Europe. While I've got 3 on my radar, I know there are a lot more out there. If you know of anyone, please drop a comment or DM me. Appreciate your help!

Safety 1st! It is never safe to look directly at the #Sun, even during an #eclipse. Make sure you have eclipse glasses that meet ISO 12312-2 international #safety standards.

"Next week, Lincoln Center will host a one-night staging of the musical 'Rent', performed by a full cast of deaf performers from the New York theater group Deaf Broadway using American Sign Language." https://t.co/mXBhLWvtJP #deaf #ASL #signlanguage

This is of course good news but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be enough of an incentive for health care facilities in general to ensure that their staff are prepared and trained to provide accommodations leading to effective communication.

We applaud the Court for standing up for the right of students with disabilities to seek damages when they're discriminated against. And congratulations to Disability Rights Michigan who started work on this case in 2017 & fought hard for today's ruling.
