This Tweet is of CRITICAL importance. My sister gifted me @RodanFieldsHQ eyelash serum & it is the best thing EVER. Now, I’m running out & can’t ever afford new (= medical debt/critically ill patient). I don’t want to waste $ I don’t have on a #dupe... Do any work? #help
This wildly happy @SaraBareilles diehard just curled up to watch #Girls5eva to find that the captions don’t work at all on the series (but do on others). @peacockTV, Sara has brilliantly Deaf and magical fans too. Super genuinely sad. Fix this?
@JessicaVosk Speaking of, you should check out @catchingbreaths & @company360 on IG! We’re a pro dance co & the founder/director/choreo is a talented badass momma w/CF & started a sister company, ComeBacks, for people like me who used to dance but had to stop due to illness/disability 🥰🩰
If you’re feeling sad and hopeless about the world right now (or every other day, like me), watch @amyschumer Learns To Cook. It’s happy relaxing happy times, save for redundant adjectives. She’s also endlessly in love with her husband, which is endlessly lovely
@catchingbreaths The Disabled Artist Networking Community @DANC_UK have teamed up with Stopgap Dance to run a series of sessions online, we want to connect with more Deaf and Disabled Dancers, Intro session 29th April 2pm https://t.co/WmdQvafnxQ #bsl#disability Pls share
I feel like I debate being a retro fashion model and growing a black flower garden and adopting all the cats in all the land (but also bats because they get such a bad rep too? Is that a thing?) and saving the bees and doing more watercolors like 40x a day. Then I don’t.
Another trending app that’s based only on sound: Quilt. At the risk of being the whiny #Deaf girl, why do we continue to develop audio-only media over and over? Meditation apps. Podcasts. Now the latest clubhouse style trends......
The concept of #Clubhouse seems cool (especially since Ive been encouraging my kid to celebrate only having a landline lately), but it’s yet another only-auditory based digital media. Much like podcasts, which I wish I could partake in, it completely isolates the #Deaf
"We all want to fix things. But we also forget how warped the system really can be.
Someone make it make sense, because this is what I need."

@blesstherain13 (I haven’t read every tweet here so hopefully not redundant but...) We can’t forget “Can you teach me the curse words?” I had someone give me a literal list of ASL expletives they wanted to learn, without wanting to learn anything else 🙄 (PS: this thread is masterful)
This thread articulates what I have always known.
Acting talent aside, performative hearingness is a huge reason why certain deaf actors succeed in the industry more than others.
A lot of it is the writing. And a lot is making hearing people comfortable in the presence of you.
