Out of office for the summer means my calendar switches from meeting appointments to tee times ⛳️

All DHH kiddos should have both a TOD and EdAud 🤍 #DeafAndHardOfHearing

D: The label “teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing” is written across Travis Kelce. The label “educational audiologist” is written across Taylor Swift. They are smiling at each other in an embrace.

Can’t tell if this is a legit question or he’s just trolling us. ASL is a different language from English. Subtitles are English. Subtitles aren’t for translating English into American Sign Language…

@stclairashley What’s the point of sign language in a video if you have subtitles? Am I missing something?

[Not your Darlin’ @DarleneCMcC]

This is a small part of what I've been grieving.
Them: Clap for “us” because “we” are now “accessible”. Let's celebrate! Wants acknowledgement.
Me: Repent because you missed it for so long. Look at the wounds.

@WendysCanada Today I ordered “curly cheese fries” as part of my order and received ‘3 cheesy fries’ instead and unknowingly paid extra for a communication mistake. #deafpeopleproblems #itwasstilldelicious #roomforimprovement

[Holly Maschmeyer @hollymaschmeyer]

Hey @WendysCanada can we start accommodating for hearing loss? Like using a screen to display what is being submitted for order, prior to paying or reviewing the receipt afterwards? #hearingloss #accessibility #accommodations

[Wendy's 🇨🇦 @WendysCanada]

Because a ⭐️ is a ⭐️ regardless of hair colour. #LisaLaFlamme #NewProfilePic

[Nick Tillem @NickTillem]

Accessibility isn’t extra steps, it’s steps you’ve missed.

I watched this movie so many times. Glad to see it in some kind of ASL form! 👏🏻

World Deaf Curling Championship

Canada’s Team Logan has to withdraw from the women’s gold medal game due to COVID. Heartbreaking news for the team. But such grace in this challenging situation.

It means Ukraine 🇺🇦 wins gold. Canada gets silver. #cbccurl

[Jastravers @jastravers]

We are cheering for all of the outstanding athletes this week at the World Deaf Curling Championships taking place in Banff. Go team Logan!!!! https://t.co/3foU7PocN3

Hearing people signing for themselves (yay!) and relying on interpreters to voice for them often react strongly to how they’re voiced. I love this reaction and the discussion that often ensues. Welcome to our world where us deaf ppl often have no choice but to use interprets 🧵

Did you know that deaf and hard of hearing individuals are susceptible to extreme fatigue? This is through their increased efforts to listen. “Listening fatigue” is real.

Covid has been strange, hard and disruptive for so many. We're literally all in this pandemic together.

It's ok to not to be ok. #BellLetsTalk
