Interpreters being neutral, unbiased, or impartial is false. We simply manage those thoughts and feelings on a continuum. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

Am I the only person that finds the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" to be a complete waste of taxpayer money and a pompous display of unnecessary ridiculousness? #DOGEGOV FIX THIS

The mother/OG caregiver is often at the center of the child's life, so their commitment is often reflected in the rest of the family. Deaf children lacking access to language, communication and connection with family and caregivers are deprived of humanity & become an enigma.

Your Black Friday reminder that the economy is at least 50% more concentrated now than it was in 2005. Shop small if you can. Please.

RID chapters should turn into Union chapters and elected officers should be setting local interpreter rates and negotiating them with the agencies. Rates wild and all over the place, out of control, meanwhile, RID chapters wandering aimlessly. Hit 2 birds with one stone
You know your childhood was bad when you can barely remember any of it.

The number of sign language interpreters who enter the profession to be seen/get attention is astounding.

Had a 1-hour layover in Iceland on @playairlines that turned into 8. Since they have no customer service onsite, had to call for financial relief & they are demanding receipts to calculate how much or no relief provided. #customerexperience #customerservice
