Wrote something a little different today. A look at what it's actually like navigating a hearing world as a Deaf person, the small stuff and the big stuff, and why community ends up filling the gaps the world keeps leaving open. https://t.co/CNJBgCgQBH

[T @TeauxWorld]

Deaf people call it the long goodbye. Two hours at the door, still signing. That's the good stuff.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Community isn't built at the big events. It's built in the parking lot afterward when nobody wants to leave.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Email. Chat. Text. A form that works. Options are accessibility. Give people more than one door into your business.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Your contact page has a phone number and nothing else. Congratulations, you just told every Deaf customer to shop elsewhere.

Monday me never thanks Sunday me. Rude, honestly.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Sunday scaries? No. Sunday strategy. I write tomorrow's to do list tonight so Monday me can pretend someone else did the hard part.

Shoutout to every treasurer quietly keeping community orgs afloat. You are the unsung heroes and we see you.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Serving on a nonprofit board taught me that passion starts the mission but spreadsheets keep it alive.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Say what you actually need: clear writing, responsiveness, collaboration. Watch your candidate pool get better overnight.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Monday PSA for hiring managers: 'strong verbal communication skills' in a posting for a desk job is often just a filter that screens out Deaf talent for no reason.

[T @TeauxWorld]

This week's rotation: work, club stuff, David, one boss fight, sleep optional.

[T @TeauxWorld]

I have three jobs, one partner, and a game backlog that could outlive me. Balance is a myth. Rotation is real.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Ten years of support taught me more about product design than any course ever could. Watch where people struggle. That's your roadmap.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Support ticket wisdom: the customer is rarely describing the actual problem. They're describing where the problem hurt them. Your job is to follow the pain backward.

The notes app: 400 untitled notes, half grocery lists, half business ideas, all chaos, all essential.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Bought a fancy planner to organize my life. It's now a very expensive coaster. The notes app remains undefeated.

Buildings age. AC units break (ask me how I know). But a community that shows up? That compounds like interest.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Every thriving Deaf space has one thing in common: it was never about the building. It was about who kept showing up.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Real accessibility lives in your code, your content, and your process. There is no shortcut. There's just doing the work.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Accessibility overlays that promise to fix your site with one line of code are the diet pills of the web. Sounds great, does nothing, might make things worse.
