I went to the spelling bee at my son's school this morning.

Two dozen kids, surrounded by their families, teachers and friends, learning and growing. And then they had a pizza party.

Bigots like Greg Gutfeild want it all to burn. #Deaf, #DeafDisabled, #DeafBlind

Hey #DeafSky, If you know any #HardofHearing #Deaf #DeafBlind #DeafDisabled folks from #BritishColumbia #Canada and would like to meet fellow deafies, reply or DM me.

I made a WhatsApp community for deaf folks to socialize, make friends, hangout, and get together to advocate!

It has subgroups.

Alt-text included.

Please don't turn away from any #deaf #hardofhearing #deafblind #deafdisabled folks when speaking with them.

Ask if the venue is bright enough to communicate well. Some of us lipread or sign.

When attending video calls, lights should be on you. Not behind you.
