BSL is not for sale: a Deaf-led approach to AI procurement
"It argues that Deaf communities must be meaningfully involved in decisions, testing, and governance; otherwise there are serious risks to access, safety, and trust."

The way hearing people infantilize Deaf people...
It's a pretty common occurrence for captioners for shows to censor "bad words". However, now even when the captions are auto-generated, it does it (at least on YouTube). #Ableism #Audism
It is very rare for me to pay to buy or rent stuff from any of the digital film/TV markets these days, but I rented this and I highly recommend it.
Hearing people (even if they're hearing disabled people) need to watch this. @disability

Man, this is my first time learning of this documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh7weSZkUU8 #Acting #Disability #Deaf #Documentary #Film
@uk The original Reddit post capitalized 'Deaf', meaning the person is identifies as Deaf, is part of the Deaf community and culture, yet the Daily Record story you took this from lower case'd it.

I realize my last post's link was behind a paywall. Here's a better one.
Premier Wab Kinew said Nahanni Fontaine, Manitoba's accessibility minister, will remain in her position after she apologized for asking why she had to share a stage with a sign-language interpreter.

My short answer? Yes.
Hmmm....#nahannifontaine normally constantly posts on social media.Ever since her "Apology"= crickets. Interesting how that goes..
Just watched Deaf President Now! on Apple TV.
It’s a documentary about how students of the world’s only #Deaf university, #Gallaudet, rebelled against having yet another hearing president foisted upon them in 1988.
In the course of just a week they revolutionised the power structures of an institution that had been a Deaf educational community for 124 years, but had never been led by a Deaf person who could sign or understand what it was to be part of that community. Great viewing!
UC Access Now was far from the first group of disabled people in higher ed fighting to dismantle ableism.
Apple TV is apparently showing "Deaf President Now!", about the activism at Gallaudet to get their first Deaf president.
