The Legalized Deafies: ASL in the Workplaces →
thelegalizeddeafies:
ASL in the workplace is becoming more prevalent as the number of people increases who are deaf and hard of hearing. Being able to use ASL to communicate and to interact with a deaf co-worker is essential for establishing a positive working climate, and for building a strong rapport. It is equally…

summersaysso asked: Hi Emma. :) I saw your post about the captions for that video (holy moly, it's powerful. I've seen it before and it still hits me super-hard) and since I have some time and brain power tonight, I went ahead and captioned it with CaptionTube. They aren't up yet, because apparently you have to own the video to be able to upload them directly (which makes sense), but I did email...

That Amazing Moment When my Brother makes me...
with happiness!
I’ve been really sick for the past few days, and have been utterly miserable.
My brother had what I have last week.
I just got a knock on my door, drug myself out of bed, and answered the door to find my brother standing there!
I was kind of surprised; I hadn’t been expecting him.
I asked, “You going out with the boys tonight? It’s fine if you park...

The Legalized Deafies: A Primer for Mainstream... →
thatdeafdude:
Every now and then, mainstream newspapers cover a story involving deaf people. If it’s a story of triumph, it may be heartwarming and inspiring to the average reader. If it’s a story of tragedy, it may elicit feelings of sympathy from the same audience. Unfortunately, no matter…

Deaf Aspie: That awkward moment when a deaf chick... →
callmeass:
Remember that music post I posted last night? About how I’d rather die than be deaf because I couldn’t hear my music? Yeah, well this deaf chick took it seriously. If people learned how to quit being so sensitive, conflicts wouldn’t arise!
Guess she doesn’t understand that I…
UGH!!!!
Alright, well here we go.

Deaf people are not stupid, nor are they disabled.

They can’t hear. That. Is. All.
They can do EVERYTHING you can do, and probably do it BETTER!

ASL National Anthem at the Super Bowl →
bluepeets:
Interesting (and depressing) summary of the last 20 years of Super Bowl telecasts and their lack of inclusion of the signed anthem.
Well worth a read.
I respect these interpreters and performers who have signed our National Anthem. They deserve to be recognized just as much as any other performer on that field!

The Legalized Deafies: Out the Deafie →
thelegalizeddeafies:
What in the world do I mean by “Out the Deafie,” you ask?
Simple. What we’re doing is, we’re asking our followers to send in stories about the first time they ever felt comfortable and/or stood up for themselves as deaf, hard of hearing, or late-deafened individuals. We’re also asking those who haven’t done so to spill the beans (all of it — your frustration, your anger,...

Jealous!! I wish this ass-backward state had one!! Is this for mentors for students? Or families? Or interpreters? (yeah, none of the above here pfft)
It’s for Deaf people to mentor ASL students. That’s what most of the Deaf Mentor workshops I have been to are for. The other one I went to was in St. Paul- it was a week long...

“He was so benevolent, so merciful a man that, in his mistaken passion, he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain.” Makes me think of hearing people who try to help without understanding that ducks don’t need or want umbrellas, even worse, they can’t fathom WHY a duck would…
