Just worked tech for a show by one of the heroes of my youth @toyahofficial got to be my favourite show I’ve ever worked on…just magic ❤️❤️❤️ It did take an extraordinary amount of energy for me to resemble a coherent human being though…and not sure I pulled it off entirely🤦♀️🤪
Wasn’t it Curry’s that had a BSL interpreter for their last advert? And now they have telepathy. Was BSL and accessibility just a gimmick then?

Here's an unsolicited idea:
Make professional supervision (6 x a year) mandatory, introduce twice yearly in-work observations from qualified assessors for *all* registrants, and reduce general CPD requirements to 12 points per year.
What do you think, @NRCPD?

Seen an event you want to go to, and want a #BSL Interpreting service? 🤔
Get in touch, let’s make it happen!
Many thanks to my examiners @Marionwynned and @G_Burrows for an enjoyable (and successful!) viva today. And of course to my wonderful supervisors @Profrob83 and @Julian_Woolford ❤️ Minor corrections ahead, but for now feel free to refer to me as ‘The Doctor’ 🤪🥰
Deaf friends, I’m looking for work in the North East. Would particularly love to work with creative Deaf people either as a communication support worker or as a fellow theatre practitioner who can sign. Anyone know of any job vacancies?

Happy National BSL Day 2024! 🎉 On 28 April 2022, the UK recognised BSL as an indigenous language, a victory for years of advocacy by the deaf community. Each 28 April, we celebrate our beautiful language. #NationalBSLDay2024 #BSLAct2022

Oliver-award-winning actor @AmyTrigg has called on fellow performers to ‘pass on’ roles they are not appropriate for.

Fantastic. Curious to see how they will measure 'success' though.
We’ve introduced British Sign Language onto our Customer Information Screens at Doncaster station to provide our D/deaf passengers with up to date travel information in BSL. If this trial is successful, we plan to roll out to @LNER’s other stations.

I know it's incorrect, but any UK specific law/regulations on my situation?
Hospital refusing to book preferred BSL/English interpreter choice claiming that "for consent, the interpreter must be independent and not someone you know before X appointment"
@SignHealth any advice?
Late on the update, but had a fab night at the NODA North awards last Saturday. My portrayal of Mrs Lovett nabbed me Best Individual performance and HASS took home Best Concert for Sound of Musicals. A special shout out to our fab table buddies and fellow winners, Sunderland!

Moving house and just packed up my beautiful @totallyFabi dolls. They bring me so much joy, wanted you to know, can’t wait to unpack them at the other end! Each marks a moment in my life….my fifth will be submitting my Theatre PhD next year…I wonder which it will be?!
@totallyFabi well…sixth…as one of mine is a double…my gorgeous Tubby (Michael Ball) and Enid (Imelda Staunton) from Victoria Wood’s glorious That Day We Sang! Thank you so much for creating that masterpiece for me!

The alternate definition of the verb, ‘tweet’, as in, ‘to make a posting on the Twitter online message service’, is in the actual dictionary. No other social media app has anything like it. Imagine disposing of that level of brand recognition because of a mid-life crisis.
Users of @ScrivenerApp on iOS: is there a way to set the projects/binder/inspector pane to the right of my screen instead of the default position on the left?
Over three years into my PhD and I've finally hit the point where I want to quit (I won't, but I want to). The last two months have been awful. My brain is broken and I don't see how to work any faster. Please send gifs.
Queen Charlotte is quite simply beautiful. In a stupid amount of happy tears at that last scene…lovely way to end it…but…season two please?! @netflix @shondaland
@netflix @shondaland also bravo on the casting! I was nervous as Rosheuvel and Andoh are both so sublime, but bravissimo…their younger counterparts were magnificent.
