On Saturday I went to a terrific #Arts Festival play in Welly.. There was #audiodescription & #NZSL interpreting. So great to see #artsaccess in action, particularly te reo Māori being interpreted. Waiora Te Ūkaipō – The Homeland is just as relevant as ever, and takes me back to the time it is set.

What Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Revealed About Deaf Inclusion The halftime show inadvertently forced many people to experience the performance the way Deaf people so often do, without access being designed for them by default.

Ha! A taste of what #Deaf people have to put up with most of the time, even here where #NZSL is an official language. #SignLanguage www.forbes.com/sites/keelyc...

Love it, only one thing would improve it - would be EVEN MORE impressed with your poetry skills if you could recite this while signing #NZSL.

Talking about innovation, last night, with my team, I've launched the next level of videomail.io with a big WOW party at Auckland Deaf Society 🚀

It comes with numerous new features, especially AI and micropayments. This for the love of Sign Language #videomail #nzsl #signlanguage

Finally, it is coming: the next level! #videomail #NZSL

For many months, with a team of Deaf staff, we have secretly built a big videomail.io update.

Join the big launch party on 19 Dec. More information see: facebook.com/events/84959...

Oh, it was bloody awesome, an epic night to remember!

Awesome (pot-smoking) crowd. The #NZSL Sign Language interpreters rocked and even my 8 yrs old daughter didn't stop dancing for hours 🤘 #myneckissorefromheadbanging

I'm still going there with my Deaf friends standing next to the badass loudspeaker. Plus they will provide Sign Language interpreters on stage #awesome #NZSL

I want to learn #NZSL

Frustrated parents, struggling kids: Why does NZ keep failing Deaf children? Our Deaf students lag behind their hearing peers – teachers and parents say the fix for the problem is obvious.

This is a shameful way to treat one of our treasured national languages. www.1news.co.nz/2025/08/12/f... #Deaf #NZSL #children #education

Theatre show explores siblinghood from disabled perspective Having siblings can be something joyous, comforting, frustrating and challenging - sometimes all at once.

Lucky Auckland. An innovative theatre show about #disability and siblings, #NZSL interpreted and embedded #audiodescription. #Disabilityarts. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

When you end up in hospital for the day, and the orderly speaks your language #NZSL #Signingrocks

Signs close my fist around my immaterial heart and squeeze is obvious my heart could not survive such trauma - cannot survive You close your fist to make a thumbs up and rub circles on your chest But you slam the door so hard, the rush of wind says you're not heartbreak

Feeling inspired after #poemsabout Open Mic night

This is a short poem, even for me

Me: actively taking steps to embrace Kiwi culture
Me: receiving the email that the #NZSL course (due to begin tonight) has been cancelled due to low enrolment

Welp 🤷‍♂️

*le sigh*

I asked ChatGPT to drill me on some basic #NZSL questions. This is what it came up with 🤦‍♂️

The Chronodiverse Asynchronous Yule Playlist - YouTube

42 signed songs in a row here from track 109 if you want to watch something to help refresh your memory www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Largely #ASL but some #BSL, Estonian Sign Language, #NZSL & a few other #languages. This is one of my favourites www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWjY.... Funny (& bit rude)

#Signed songs start here www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWjY... ASL heavy as I found more songs in ASL than anything else but it includes #ASL #BSL #LSF #NZSL & #EstonianSignLanguage. Recommendations for additions in other sign languages very welcome - and Deaf song signers I should follow on YouTube/here.

The Yule #playlist is up to 150 songs with the addition of fab songs from musicals www.youtube.com/watch?v=291E..., 9 of the best isolated vocals tracks www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLWP... and 42 signed songs including #ASL, #NZSL, Estonian sign and #BSL (because signed songs rock and make music better)

First-time director tells his deaf mother's story in short film Film maker Chris Hines decided to stay close to home with the subject of directorial debut - his 17-minute short film The Dining Table.

Ironically this is fairly inaccessible to me as a vision impaired person, but still important to share. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro... #Deaf #NZSL
