@catchrosa Codas come in many flavors of codas. I just don't agree that a Coda that is hearing can label themselves as deaf. I've seen it happen and it is hurtful bec at the end of they day they use hearing privileges at a whim. Esp lying their way into a deaf basketball team, etc.

@MatAuryn @LilNasX I studied shadow monsters by Parker palmer and this makes so much sense! Epic and powerful. Showed my queer 11 yo daughter this assessment because we were discussing the song and video yesterday. I was reminded of when she came home and said she was a sinner for liking girls.

@iamdugal Ah back in the day on IG you could see what a person was looking at or liking... they don't do that anymore. So I get that, thanks for helping sum it up for me!

I really don't know how to use Twitter. It's confusing and not like FB/IG. Can anyone explain what is so different about it that's throwing me off?

[Regan Thibodeau @ThibodeauRegan]

@iamdugal Happy to see you too!

[Regan Thibodeau @ThibodeauRegan]

This ismy second tweet ever. I have no idea how this works. Please give a #deaftweet if you are on here to make the world more equitable for Deaf people!
