Happy #funfriday, do you know the fingerspelling? 🐣 #signature #BritishSignLanguage

Hearing people, do you know the difference between “interpreter” and “translator”? 😅

Did you see us on @BBCLondonNews tonight? Huge thanks again to our past pupil @raymond_antrobus & illustrator @pollydunbar for sharing their new book with us #CanBearsSki? @WalkerBooksUK #BN #Deafed #DeafSchool #DeafRoleModels #CanBearsSki #deafrepresentation #WorldBookDay #BBC

(1/2) It's #DeafAwareness o'clock!⁠ Let's put together some interesting facts:⁠ ⁠🔠 Sign Language doesn't represent spoken language and has its own grammar. ⁠🌍 Sign Language is not universal. Different countries have different sign language.⁠⁠

I had my jab. I cried because the RAF Woman who did it was a BSL user. The first time in 50 years of being Deaf, in a medical situation someone has signed! The first time! It was a profound moment.

Still time to get your FREE ticket for this exciting learning opportunity TOMORROW hosted in collaboration with @UEASignSoc @imogenthe Click the link here➡️➡️ uea.su/events/18341/1…

#mySLTday for Christmas my grandad painted me some bags to use when I graduate, and my nana used all of her spare bits and bobs to make a sensory fabric mat- they are too good to not use😨💪🏻

So excited to announce I’ll be part of the virtual choir for this show, using #BSL as we sing-along to Any Dream Will Do. Literally a #dreamcometrue !! Tune in this Sun 7.40pm BBC1!

The irony when hearing people find interpreters attractive but they, 99% of the time, don’t even a. Caption their content b. Know any sign language c. Realise how this is sexualising sign language

Who are some hard of hearing people I could follow? I’m not HOH, but I’m curious to learn more about that world #DisabilityTwitter

And that’s how you develop a ground zero for unconfirmed deaf rumors.
