So ⁦@RoseAylingEllis⁩ is clearly the new Stacey Dooley, making powerful documentaries. How about this, then, ⁦@ted_evans_film⁩ ⁦@RoganProduction⁩ ⁦@BBCtrending⁩: a whole series of Rose meeting Deaf signers from all walks of life?🙏🏽 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001n9s…

This #DeafblindAwarenessWeek I’d encourage everyone to consider how they can be a better ally to Deafblind people. There are so many spaces, private and public, that are just not set up for deafblind communities, once you are aware it becomes impossible to ignore!

I would strongly encourage all of my sign language interpreter/translator colleagues to enrol on a Deafblind awareness course, and beyond that to learn communication methods and guiding. The more we know, the more we are able to empower people.

Asides from professionally, actively consider if you’re welcoming Deafblind people into your space. Dim lights for ambience? Better turn those up babe! (Ofc, these are just my views and I will always uplift views of deafblind people)

I had a dream (nightmare?) last night that I was interpreting Taylor Swift’s wedding, I cried of relief at the end and my coworker told me to grow up. Think I’ll go to bed earlier tonight.

🚗 If you’re driving and see a pedestrian with a red and white cane, remember that they have sight and hearing loss. Beeping your car horn at them won’t necessarily let them know you’re there, and they might cross the road at a slower pace - so please be patient.
Graphic with an illustration of a red and white striped cane. Text over reads: Are you deafblind aware? Red and white canes: If you see someone using a red and white striped cane, it means they are deafblind and have both low vision and hearing loss.

I think I’ve had the most exhausting weekend of my life, on Thursday I (potentially) broke my foot, then over the weekend I had my final RSLI assessments, and then yesterday I moved to a new flat. Wine please 🍷

Hello! I'm Kate, Kate Rowley. I'm Patrick, Patrick Rosenburg. We are researchers @DCAL_UCL & we're interested in research language comprehension in deaf children, particularly BSL comp. skills & how this relates to English reading skills. We need 300 deaf kids aged 4-18.

Watch the full interview youtube.com/watch?v=eDsSZ58d… 1. @WarnerBrosUK our first press junket could not have been more phenomenal with @michaelb4jordan where he discusses his new film, “Creed 3” and his first experiences directing a film Michael B. Jordan play

Is it useful reflection or is it self criticism disguised as reflective work? Musings of an anxious TSLI! 😌

This is one of the UK's oldest Science Fiction conventions. Are there Deaf Sci-Fi fans? Please let them know your feelings around BSL interpreting being available! I was there last year, and the content is absolutely astounding!
