Signing off. Sad to depart from this space- the disability and deaf academic communities here have been life-changing.
I’m keeping my account and I might still check in occasionally, but come find me on IG!
@Leigh_Ann_Cowan For many folks I know, cued speech has been a useful tool in learning to lipread and speak non-English languages.
I can also think of a few folks who you might want to connect with for more info specifically about tonal languages. Happy to chat more about this if you’d like!
Scene from a future worth living in, many years from now:
Student: Wait they used to teach Joyce without neurodiversity?
Me: Yeah for like a *century*.
Student: Did they get it?
Me: No. Not really. But they *knew* they didn't get it, and that kept them talking.
An excellent piece from Kristian Foden-Vencil on fascist infiltration of Oregon politics, worth a few minutes to read. #ProudBoys#fascism#GOP#Portland#Oregon https://t.co/kfpU68tzv7

The ways we love to conflate disability and criminality reveals just how made up the category of “crime” is in capitalist societies. The injustice is poverty, mass infection, mass poisoning. Crime is stolen/damaged property.
Only one is confronted with the law.
Hey, hearing people. I would love to get your two cents on my most recent short film. It is silent and it is full of deaf-centric jokes. I want to know what an average hearing person would think of it. Can you give it a watch and DM me your reaction? 🤟https://t.co/P0KHcvO8Pq
