That is how we start off a weekend- teaching kids how to sign va***as in BSL. Oh it’s makaton, my bad- now you know how to ‘sign’ crabs & va***as. This is meant to be kids tv? Sound like sex ed to me

I could have been in an article featured in the Independent oh wait I'm blocked by the writer & have been for oh 2.5 years now yay me! Such a forward thinker- spotting what a smarmy git he was then & still is. #ContentStealer

Q- I’ve noticed Deaf people saying ‘the DeafBlind and Usher community’- last I checked, the Ushers’ Syndrome is part of the DeafBlind spectrum so what is the reason to single them out and excluding the other DeafBlind people? #DeafBlindNotAnAfterthought

Is there any deaf Irish artists doing birthday cards? Really hard to find one with manual fingerspelling as it’s either ASL or BSL

Sitting on the floor of a CrossCountry Trains train as no one would let me sit with them, their bags was far more important & the signs saying seats were available- it wasn’t. People had no qualms asking me to move seats. At least help me to find another seat. #Deafblind

Guess how many times I got a telephone appt & had to call them via VRS to request a F2F appt along with an apology for as it was clearly on my records as must have F2F appt with a BSL terp. FOUR TIMES- 4 letters, 4 calls, 4 apologies & finally a F2F appt. #DeafInNHS

Love how deaf orga think its okay to recycle materials or produce poor quality resources for DeafBlind Awareness week. I know we are meant to be ‘blind’ but come on, we can see through your performative shite #DeafBlindNotAnAfterthought

I’m trying to understand why some ppl thought they could walk into 10 Downing St w/o security clearance & go ‘hey we have an terp for you!’ (I could be wrong). BBCNews24 provides interpreted news. Surely time & energy could be refocused somewhere else like better deaf healthcare?

Still looking! Any interpreters Manchester / Leeds based or outside Leeds but willing to travel! Please help. A student needs to access their graduation, just like their hearing peers will.

I came across this and had a wee think. This is my opinion, I feel the deaf community needs to be better at this. I am not sure why deaf abusers are being allowed to be 'successful'? How do we stop this?inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

Just had an hosp appt, due to the rescheduled dates, they forgot to rebook the terp… luckily I have the SignLive app as part of the DP I get.- appt done! NHS England really needs to provide Plan B (VRS) when Plan A (a terp hasn't been booked or other reasons) #DeafHealthcare

Not me trying to explain to my GP surgery that ‘booking’ an interpreter from a multi-language agency does not mean the agency has actually booked someone & the surgery DOES need to check before the appt that the booking was filled. Them: the interpreter has been booked. 🤦🏻‍♀️
