Students learned how to use @Screencastify to record their Geology Presentation Projects. We then completed our summary of our core text and started a creative writing project using inspiration from research on gemstones. #ELA#WarriorStrong#bold
@deafcongress I would go with the safe assumption that an ASL interpreter needs to be requested. If ASL interpreting was readily available it would have most likely been advertised.
@AppleTV the MusicLive Camila Cabello movie says it has #CC . It only provides CC for when Camila is talking and gives the name of the songs. It doesn't caption the songs. Please fix this immediately. This is not equal and equitable access. Thank you.
Oh no! The captions are definitely AI since the captions screwed up the #BunrattyTavern Irish phrase "Ceol, Caint, Agus Craic Slainte!" A live captioner would edit it. I didn't take a screenshot 😔 Please do better, @FoxNews Thank you.
@FoxNews#ziptrip#reading#CC#nomorecraptions#ADA#livecaptioners The closed captions weren't working in the last segment. Access was not provided during the live segment in Reading. 😔 When the show came back from commercial at 9:30 there were captions again. Thank you.
@DeParadijsvogel@SpeechUnion@jk_rowling I hope you read the articles I linked. Metaphors are addressed. I think we can still have colorful language without needlessly putting down others. The metaphors used aren't accurate. Like I said being deaf isn't related to ignoring whistleblowers. Use an accurate metaphor.
@BlueCancer85@SpeechUnion@jk_rowling My partner is blind and there are also lots of expressions with blind. We use them as jokes.
If we strip our language off all these metaphores I think it would become very dull.
"One of the things that has most shocked me throughout this debacle has been the determined deafness of so many opinion-makers to whistleblowers at the UK's now-discredited Tavistock gender identity clinic," writes @jk_rowling in an excerpt from a terrific new edited collection, The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht, which is reproduced in today's @thetimes.

When the Cass Review's Final Report was published in April 2024 it offered a strong — some would say unanswerable — challenge to the 'affirmative' approach to treating gender confusion in children and young people, which ideologically driven clinicians have for many years sought to protect from empirical scrutiny.
The exposure of this medical scandal was fought for, long and hard, by many who suffered for their commitment to medical ethics and safeguarding children.
On Tuesday 9th July, the FSU is hosting a special event to learn the lessons from the Cass Review.
We're honoured to bring together an expert panel including Tavistock Clinic whistleblowers Sue Evans and Dr David Bell — who risked their careers and much more to pursue the truth — as well as Oxford University Associate Professor Dr Michael Biggs, and the founder and director of Transgender Trend, Stephanie Davies-Arai.
Join us online and in-person for this very special event.

@BlueCancer85@SpeechUnion@jk_rowling Stop being so sensitive about it. People use language in metaphorical ways all the time. It's not personal and you're not special.
@SpeechUnion@jk_rowling "Morrison uses metaphor to reveal the material connections between disability and other determinants of social position in seventeenth-century America, such as race and proximity to “the nonhuman.”
