@iciradiocanada.bsky.social c'est honteux que CBC puisse reporter cette nouvelle alors qu'il n'y en a aucune trace sur le site web de la Radio-Canada. Et, franchement, c'est aussi honteux que les membres de ce comité ne soient pas issu·e·s de la communauté 2SLGBTQIA+. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Daz @drdazzy.bsky.social and I are current board members of SLLS (slls.eu/board/) and are seeking feedback about TISLR conferences Anyone who's interested in signed languages can respond even if you haven't been to TISLR. Please share widely! Thank you for your time! gu.live/RWCkP

For the next ten weeks or so, a series of videos I worked on with Nelson Education/Edwin will be released - sharing Indigenous education with students. You can check them out for FREE & here is the first one on Treaties! youtu.be/rRIdYRdzA6w?...

Today is the first provincially recognized Two-Spirit and Trans Day of Visibility in Manitoba. It was so humbling to hear from local icon Feather Talia about how allies can step up to protect the lives of our gender-diverse family.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ ⠀ Did you know?⠀ ⠀ The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest. Illustration by Deaf trans artist Carlisle Robinson. #TDOV #DeafTrans #DeafTransgender #DeafTransPride #ASL #QueerASLSigns ⠀⠀

Je suis très honoré·e d'avoir été invité·e à participer à ce panel important, où les Sourd·e·s peuvent discuter du rôle grandissant de l’IA dans nos vies. Mais l’IA est-elle développée en tenant compte des personnes sourdes? Rien ne doit être décidé sur nous sans nous.

I'm truly honored to be invited to join this important panel, where Deaf people can discuss the ever-growing role of AI in our lives. But is AI being developed with Deaf people in mind? Nothing about us should be decided without us.

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social is now the new Canadian PM. How long until the election writ drops?

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

It's an honour to be asked to give a talk in this colloquium series organized by the Department of Linguistics at the University of Manitoba on March 28th!

“These first two weeks of Trump’s new term and the extensive executive orders removing nearly every right I have as a trans American have been by far the worst in all my professional years.” In The Handbasket’s first guest piece @katelynburns.com explains the toll on trans journalists right now:

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

It's @george-lakoff.com's Truth Sandwich. An essential skill for anyone who does any communications. Yet, over and over, people start by privileging their opposition's message or just outright lies. Only way to deal with guys like Elon and Trump.

I hear public health info for 2SLGBTQIA+ is being removed on US government sites: you can use the info available on Canadian Government public health sites.

And so it begins, for the second time. Wish what is happening in the US stays in the US but it's not gonna happen.

People, just stop doing Frontiers special issues. Find a nice diamond open access journal, and self-publish and collaboratively peer review the set of papers you all want to write. Do not give Frontiers money. They add no value. If anything, they hurt your reputation. MDPI is of course even worse.

For British trans people: You legally are owed healthcare If your GP says no and you can afford it, sue them If you can't, then ask to see someone else and write the most brutal middle class sounding complaint you can They are not allowed to deny you trans healthcare

If you’re a nondeaf scholar who researches deaf people and signed languages, it’s important to be open about your positionality & to be open to critical feedback from deaf scholars and deaf community members. Think of feedback as care for more holistic & ethical research, not as gatekeeping 🐦 🐦

Using the right pronouns is important. The feeling of reading an email where others use your chosen pronouns is indescribable. I feel seen, in a good way.
