Some kinda writer. Deaf. Irritated.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

Two things:

1. This isn't what "great" looks like.
2. Fuck Trump.

@MattOswaltVA i am very tired, matt

@JenaFriedman It's a virus that infects *humans*, Jena.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@ShaulaEvans @netflix Huh, interesting. Is the actor playing that character actually deaf?

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@JuliaDiFer I finally understand all the toilet paper hoarding.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@AlishaGrauso Can you hear them boots clocking down the highway?

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@amandarin People are super worried about running out of toilet paper... and STILL getting that cold brew concentrate? 🤔

[Jake @moanfishfish]

Only 3 times have I voted and felt like I've made the right choice AND felt *very* good about it. The first was for Obama. The second, also Obama.

The third was today for Elizabeth Warren. She is hands down the best candidate I've ever had the pleasure of voting for. #Warren2020

@AlishaGrauso I should have specified that I'm responding to his argument, and only his. I'm well aware that other disabilities require different accommodations.

It's his sweeping assertions re: subtitles and the "theatrical experience" that piss me off.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@AlishaGrauso Kevin needs to sit his dubby ass down.

Christ. It's 2020. Us deaf people out here are wondering when hearing people are gonna start checking their fucking privilege.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@democracynow @AOC @AyannaPressley Mind-boggling to still see videos from progressive folks that aren't captioned/subtitled. It's one of the easiest inclusive things you can do.

How does it NOT occur to you in 2020 to caption ALL of your stuff? The entire video fails to be "intentional and inclusive".

Do better.

@cavaticat not dumber, just cockaNamie

@MorganCline @AndyRichter The horrifying thing for me, a 40-plus-year-old guy who moved back to VT to live with his mother (temporarily, pleasegodplease) after getting divorced, is realizing those Lonely Tinder Cabin Dudes have their own homes. Like goddamn adults.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@nathanhartswick I loved The Egg. Couldn't stand the rest of the movie, no matter what shape the water was in.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@emilybest @MarkDuplass @EAlexTheGreat @seedandspark @MiracleOnMarket Mark's video isn't captioned. I took a look at three random trailers from the S&S website, too... none were captioned.

Seems like a lot of talk about inclusion & diversity from you and the creators on the site... but I'm not seeing any real emphasis on ensuring accessibility?

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@baddestmamajama Sure do.

Swalwell's gonna blame that dog.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@behindyourback Oh, they were both absolutely fantastic, weren't they? Sloss was a new one for me, happy I found out about him.

Seen Jenny Slate's STAGE FRIGHT or Seth Meyer's LOBBY BABY? Both are on Netflix... I'm fairly confident you'll enjoy them, too. 🙂

tired: former president donald trump

wired: former president donald j trump

michael dropped it BOOM! that is practice!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

In one year, we will give Trump a nickname of his own: Former President Donald Trump.

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@MarkDuplass @seedandspark Well. That was a bit of a letdown. I get it, it may not have occurred to you at the time, but... here's hoping all future vids from you will be accessible, yeah?

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@JoshRaby Is it ever going to be properly captioned? Like you said it would be - well over a year ago?

[Jake @moanfishfish]

@AlishaGrauso living my best deaf life like a goddam boss, alisha
