Check out the original call for submissions below for more info:
Some patches I embroidered during first semester 🧵🌈🎓
Quote tweet by Richard Hanania from 1/11/2025. The quoted tweet, which has a community note, is by Christopher F. Rufo on 1/10/2025. Christopher's tweet reads: "I'm sorry, but we have to stop with the ridiculous sign language interpreters, who turn serious press conferences into a farce. There are closed captions on all broadcast channels and streaming services. No wild human gesticulators necessary." The community note (which has supporting .gov links) reads: "Fact: Not all broadcast channels have closed captions, which isn't universally effective anyway; many Deaf rely on ASL for comprehension as ASL offers nuances captions miss. This is part of ADA requirements, passed by GOP." Richard's tweet reads: "The community note shows that the process has been captured by the disability lobby. It’s not about access, CC works fine. They have to pretend like it doesn’t to force this absurdity onto us. And the ADA amendments of 2008 have led to a nightmare, as I explain in my book."
🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊
It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally.
ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags.
Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.
The whole debate about personal carbon footprint versus systemic change is kind of silly because both are true. As a society we ARE the sum of our collective actions AND certain people wield greater power (wealthy people, leaders, and legislators) to affect system change. We can act on both fronts.
“Transsexual subtext is for cowards” yes sure make the queer stuff as direct and explicit as you want, but please use at least SOME subtext.
Subtext is for cowards =/= tell don’t show
