Deaf. Passionate about access and believes young people are the future. Infuriated by the state of the trains. Views my own and all that jazz.

This...been a rather weird day to have a large scale 365/Azure outage immediately followed by a Crowdstrike issue. Give your IT guy a hug if his business uses both these products

Relentless campaigning for years by Nathan - it is incomprehensible as to why what he's asking for is not the case already. Please read up and learn more about this - deaf athletes deserve more than just better.

In awe of these swimmers!! I'm seeing 800m freestyle times faster than my own 400m PB and I just cannot comprehend 🀣 #Paris2024

My first time to the cinema this evening since pre-COVID and THE TRAILERS HAD SUBTITLES! 😱🀯 How long has this been a thing? Game Changer Indeed! Still too expensive, still not enough subtitled films. But reclining seats, little tables! Wow. Things have definitely moved up!

I have done some reflection on my post yesterday. And whereas my stance is still the same in the most part - I recognise that in being shocked, I am showing my white privilege. The racism and islamphobia being displayed here is daily occurrence for many. We must learn as we go.

It's been 2 weeks. I was about due an awful train journey πŸ™„ Going back home - waste of a day. I get that trains break down and delays happen for multitude of reasons but overcrowding due to too short trains, especially during the school holidays, in this heat? C'mon London Northwestern Railway!!

For my fellow deafies, if you have the live transcribe app (I am on android) it's getting a lot better at picking up tannoy announcements for info. Not perfect but enough for me to get an idea of what the delay was πŸ™ŒπŸ»

If you wonder how I know when the tannoy is going to use the app - there's this lovely thing many hearing people do that I look for - they crook their neck and look to the ceiling - its a classic 'listen' pose πŸ˜‚ or sometimes they may lift their headphones off their ear briefly.

I would suggest that trains are not 'overcrowded' but 'underserved' due to not enough carriages. Overcrowded implies it's the people's fault. When the train companies have simply just not managed demand...

I wish schools wouldn't show off their 'strongest performers' by naming and all those with A and A* grades. There's multiple reasons why different grades are awarded. We know deaf YP overall achieve a whole grade lower than hearing - doesn't mean they didn't work just as hard.

An "artistical bizarre choice". Sorry what? "Making"? So you're basically saying a phenomenal and extremely experienced actress who happens to be deaf, can't ever play the protagonist in Antony and Cleopatra? C'mon. This comment is the only bizarre bit. Can't wait to see it!

Hey CrossCountry Trains - what's happening with the train to Plymouth please (I got on at Wakefield), I'm currently stuck at Derby. Loads of people suddenly got off but not everyone? If something was announced by tannoy that's not accessible to deaf travellers!

Me to a theatre: hello I would like to book tickets for the captioned performance please. How do I make sure I have seats to view them? Theatre: please call us on xyz so we can assist you. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Hey Delfont Mackintosh Theatres it's a real shame that my reply to the email as quoted below, explaining I needed to book via email got ignored. Really disappointing that you are not accessible to deaf people. I didn't want to name you via twitter but two weeks with no reply is very poor.
