Deaf student wins battle against university →
ewitty:

They were so immature about it! They said, “I didn’t write that to offend anyone.” Well, that’s great and all, but you DID offend someone. Now man up and just say,...
The Legalized Deafies: Thoughts on CI →
thelegalizeddeafies:
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. For me, I don’t feel the need for CIs and I do not support the idea of implanting children under 16 years old.
Here are the reasons why:
1) It is an invasive surgery which cannot be reversed (The implanted unit can be removed, but the “invasion” and…

I want a pen pal!
I love writing and receiving letters. And I don’t mean emails. I mean hand-written letters that take a week to get from point A to point B. I write ridiculously random and off-track letters, but I have a good time doing it.
I used to have pen pals, but most of them have stopped writing me back (probably because most of them have one of those whatchamacallits…. a social life!...
