ASL first, English second. Here to lose arguments I started. 🏳️‍🌈

Wrote something a little different today. A look at what it's actually like navigating a hearing world as a Deaf person, the small stuff and the big stuff, and why community ends up filling the gaps the world keeps leaving open. https://t.co/CNJBgCgQBH

[T @TeauxWorld]

You don't need a big budget. You need alt text, real contrast, captions, and a site you can navigate by keyboard. Start there.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Small business owners: an accessibility audit is cheaper than a lawsuit and infinitely cheaper than losing customers you never knew you had.

[T @TeauxWorld]

The couch and I have a standing appointment and I refuse to reschedule.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Saturday errands complete. Reward: absolutely nothing productive for the rest of the day. I earned this.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Deaf people call it the long goodbye. Two hours at the door, still signing. That's the good stuff.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Community isn't built at the big events. It's built in the parking lot afterward when nobody wants to leave.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Email. Chat. Text. A form that works. Options are accessibility. Give people more than one door into your business.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Your contact page has a phone number and nothing else. Congratulations, you just told every Deaf customer to shop elsewhere.

Monday me never thanks Sunday me. Rude, honestly.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Sunday scaries? No. Sunday strategy. I write tomorrow's to do list tonight so Monday me can pretend someone else did the hard part.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Shoutout to every treasurer quietly keeping community orgs afloat. You are the unsung heroes and we see you.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Serving on a nonprofit board taught me that passion starts the mission but spreadsheets keep it alive.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Say what you actually need: clear writing, responsiveness, collaboration. Watch your candidate pool get better overnight.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Monday PSA for hiring managers: 'strong verbal communication skills' in a posting for a desk job is often just a filter that screens out Deaf talent for no reason.

[T @TeauxWorld]

This week's rotation: work, club stuff, David, one boss fight, sleep optional.

[T @TeauxWorld]

I have three jobs, one partner, and a game backlog that could outlive me. Balance is a myth. Rotation is real.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Ten years of support taught me more about product design than any course ever could. Watch where people struggle. That's your roadmap.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Support ticket wisdom: the customer is rarely describing the actual problem. They're describing where the problem hurt them. Your job is to follow the pain backward.

The notes app: 400 untitled notes, half grocery lists, half business ideas, all chaos, all essential.

[T @TeauxWorld]

Bought a fancy planner to organize my life. It's now a very expensive coaster. The notes app remains undefeated.
