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.

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.

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

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

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.
