@MrLukeChristian @thatdeafgirlkj Some are very knowledgeable in this but they cannot provide personal experiences and solutions like we can so the short answer is nope! ๐ ๐ผโโ๏ธ
@LouiseDeafAware I splashed out on a more expensive one as I normally only spend a quid on mine... Wish I'd have just bought mine from pound land this year instead of WHSmiths๐ #gutted
@CalvinMoorley @radiographerben@WeNurses@WeStudentNurse @Bucksuninurses ๐ ๐ ๐ I have an obsession with cleaning ๐ I make a list every week of what needs doing... No skimping I do the skirting boards and the lot!!
Interpreters, you have a duty to ensure you are using correct signs for black/asian deaf clients, Iโve seen 2 interpreters using the incorrect/racist sign for Africa and itโs ๐คฎ
@helen_maric Glad you enjoyed!! However not all deaf can sign and some can only rely on lipreading and the face mask situation really doesn' help so please keep an open mind when trying to communicate ๐ค๐ผ
The amount of head shakes I've had from people wearing a mask when they have tried to talk to me and I've had to tell them I'm deaf! Feeling like they are brushing me off/unimportant ๐
DEAF AWARENESS COURSES- are absolutely so important, even more so now!!
Things that are embarrassing:
1. Being a cop
2. Having ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ in your name
3. Being part of the ee dee el (not typing it bc then thereโs gonna be mongs in my mentions
4. Supporting the bunker nonce and little miss โi dont like geographical namesโ
@parlour_sx This has been really good for me to read knowing Im not the only one going through this shit! Dm is always open for a chat or anything else โค๏ธ sending all my love, our babies will be proud of us xx
@LouiseDeafAware I'm absolutely dreading this as I use public transport everyday for work! It's proper worried me now ๐ญ and I can't rely on sign alone I need to be able to lipread!
To all the teachers and others who told me I would never pass my exams-I passed every single one.
To those who told me I could never get a job-I have!
I read this in the NDCS magazine and it resonated with me, as I'm sure it does with many. We can do anything!
