Labor is making global heating worse by opening new coal mines. The science is crystal clear. If we’re going to stop the world going over the climate cliff, we can’t open up a single new coal project, but Labor has approved four.

Yep yep… why is this still happening?

As a nation we must take this opportunity to recognise our First Peoples. We cannot leave this task to future generations. I urge all Australians to respond to this referendum with love, trust and kindness for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Any known Deaf artists in Quebec that my daughter and her aunt could visit? #deafecosystem

Im one of those - myauslan.com is my business #deafecosystem #Deafaustralian #myauslan We set up ours due to necessity - poor opportunities, barriers, misconceptions are the main problems. You?

Brilliant! Good to know...

the hardest part about being deaf and doing my phd is the deaf part not the phd part and that should tell you everything you need to know about accessibility in higher ed

Bingo.

On the #WorldChildrenDay, let's listen to deaf children! At our General Assembly, we adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Deaf Children. ➡Let's support the rights of deaf children: wfdeaf.org/rightsdeafchil… #ForEveryChild #deafchildren

This is your daily reminder that there are over 300+ signed languages around the world. American Sign Language (ASL) is not the only one that exists.

So what is it with people always wanting a universal sign language? I feel like I never see these type of comments when it comes to spoken languages

Wondered about this - are there any other latest on Deaf in this book, apart from this chapter? Any feedback? Ta

A question - how do we reframe the term from 'treatment' (ie hearing) to something else that deaf people need? 'provision of signs from birth' doesnt cut it like 'treatment'...

A friend often points out that in our culture, we often don't introduce ourselves at first meeting, and I think he’s right. Wo do it when saying goodbye, if we plan to reconnect. The ‘Hi, my name is…’ approach is definitely something we’ve adopted from hearies. #DeafCulture

It's almost as if 40+ years of oppressing sign languages in early intervention and education for deaf children and youth has resulted in a shortage of proficient signers with teacher qualifications.

I'd appreciate some help on the average of numbers of handshapes in all signed languages in the world if possible? Thanks
