Deaf & ASL is how I live, say, do, make, see, be. Special 💓 for Deaf people making Art. Occasionally I post my doings/what I want to share.

With remote learning impacting how we learn, Molly took a moment to thank Apple and Tim Cook "for helping us keep our dreams alive by facilitating this access for us to our 'home away from home'” referring @Apple and #GallaudetU’s strong partnership.

@GallaudetU @tim_cook @LaurenRidloff @MarleeMatlin As @tim_cook thanks Molly and Marlee and honors the recepients of the honorary degrees he talks about innovation and accessibility calling out Apple Maps can tell you about deaf owned businesses - I was not aware of that

[Gallaudet University @GallaudetU]

Molly Feanny, our undergraduate student speaker, got the opportunity to ask @Apple @tim_cook abt the importance of diversity, how tech can be a tool for inclusivity, and his advice for starting a career in tech during his visit to GU.

Thanks @EliteDaily!

Undergraduate student speaker Molly Feanny is inviting @Apple CEO @tim_cook to speak at @GallaudetU’s 152nd Commencement on May 13! How will he respond?

[Lisa Anderson🇨🇦 @deaftravel]

[Conner Edson @Conner8809]

We’re here in the Gallaudet field house watching @GallaudetU’s undergrad speakers @MarleeMatlin, @LaurenRidloff, and @tim_cook. Thank you all for advocating, and knowing how much #accessibility @Apple brings to the world. Lauren, Marlee and Tim, I cannot thank you enough. 🤟

Apple CEO Tim Cook tells Gallaudet University graduates to lead with their values:

"It was my values that called me to tell the world 'I am gay,' so that I might bring a measure of hope to people still hiding who they are from the world."

Wonderful feature on @GallaudetU commencement on @GMA with @tim_cook as the speaker & there is a quick mention of @MotionLightLab when Tim Cook toured the campus!

[melissa malzkuhn @mezmalz]

Loving all #CODA wins!! Still got Best Picture coming up! Def a win for Deaf community! Sian’s the first person to bring an ASL interpreter with her onstage, you rock!!!!!

[Danez @Danez_Smif]

A Korean actor mispronouncing white names and presenting a deaf actor with an award as he accepts in ASL is an amazing moment for language in a country where we think spoken English is a global standard.

[Howard Sherman @HESherman]

A queer Afro-Latina actor won an Oscar. A Deaf actor won an Oscar. A woman won Best Director for the second consecutive year. Let's not let that be overshadowed. Let's honor and celebrate that.

[Braam Jordaan @braamjordaan]

Here is the classic example of ‘Deaf Gain’. The Deaf community found out who is the winner of the Best Supporting Actor a couple of seconds before non-signers because Youn Yuh-Jung tried to say congratulations in sign language! Let’s celebrate! #oscars #Oscars2022 #deafgain

[Guthrie Nutter @guthrienutter]

NORMALIZE LANGUAGE ACCESS! Congrats #CODA @MarleeMatlin @TroyKotsur

This 100%. I hope this movie is the rock at the top of the hill that kicks off an avalanche.
