After spending 25 years feeling terrified of anyone discovering I’m deaf — it’s wild how much Deaf Pride I now feel.

Having access to Deaf culture & Deaf role models has been life changing.

Really excellent book by @fi_murphy_
People often say to me they find accommodating my deafness difficult because they can't imagine what it's like being deaf. If this is you, or you know someone who is in this position, I can't recommend this book enough!

The term 'language deprivation' does not get changed to 'language access' just because one does not like it. Language deprivation exists and it's shit. Softening the language is not an excuse to pretend it's not there. Hearing privilege does not supersede deaf lived experience.

‘All of Us’ is a powerful indictment of austerity. 

“Humour stops the production from teetering towards sentimentality,” writes Fiona Murphy. “Martinez scatters one-liners throughout and the audience laughs, almost with gasping relief.” https://t.co/vuKVsnCHHl

@mahreensohail Congratulations!! 💚

@stephharmon @katiecunning Absolutely! I’m deaf.

My entire family (who aren’t deaf) use subtitles all the time!

This Natalia Ginzburg sentence, nested in an essay, is almost a short story

[Fi Murphy @fi_murphy_]

@charlhyde But even with all these strategies —living in a hearing world is an absolute struggle. The anxiety & exhaustion is unrelenting.

[Fi Murphy @fi_murphy_]

@charlhyde And I also have meeting debriefs. I ask my colleagues their thoughts about the meeting — this allows me to check if I caught all the information.
