Please read and retweet. Great Olivia Rodrigo concert last night, but evening spoiled by Eventim Apolloβs appalling refusal to make reasonable adjustments for disabled concert goers. No response to my email before the gig asking about access arrangements. (1)

An extremist Supreme Court is poised to overturn #RoeVWade and impose its far-right, unpopular views on the entire country. It's time for the millions who support the Constitution and abortion rights to stand up and make their voices heard. We're not going backβnot ever.

As a deaf and disabled parent sometimes small tasks can be harder for me. It's important to recognise the things you CAN do and be proud of that. On #worldmentalhealthday2021 think of the things you have achieved this year, and comment if you want to share π€

ASL becomes hegemonic against indigenous sign languages.
In this case, Hawaiian Sign Language is colonized. There are very few users of HSL. This unique project is deaf indigenous culturally revitalizing pedagogy and language preservation/revitalization:
