I haven’t watched Peppa Pig since I was a kid but I saw an article about George getting a hearing aid and it made me so happy, it’s such a good piece of representation for disabled kids, which is something cartoons didn’t have much of during my own childhood
Just look how happy he is about his new hearing aid he’s so freaking cute
We are so back baby!
i know writing takes longer than talking but if an ASL interpreter is unavailable or the connection is breaking up, why don't you just write?
“Truth is, I am only brave in fixed amounts. Some days my courage is like a whisper, and some days it’s nothing at all. But I keep trying.” "The Daisy Chain Collapse" by A.C. Nightingale is a heart-wrenching look at grief, connection, and the ripple effects of loss. With CHAMP Deaf representation and a reminder that communication is a bridge, this book stays with you long after the last page. If you’ve read "The Daisy Chain Reaction", this is a must-read. “What are you looking forward to?” #deafrepresentation #deafcharacters #aslbookreview #authorktjames

Summary:
[PT: Summary: End PT]
A deaf child's hearing mother won't let her learn ASL and forces her to lip-read and speak, but one day they swap bodies and the mother learns how hard she's making life for her daughter.
Trigger warnings: ableism and forced oralism.
Why I Think It's Good:
[PT: Why I Think It's Good: End PT]
It encourages hearing people to be more compassionate to d/Deaf people; in particular, it encourages hearing parents to let their deaf children be involved in Deaf culture and learn sign langauges, which I think is very important.
It shows how hard it is for d/Deaf people to live in a hearing world and to be forced to speak and lip-read. I myself have been forced to speak and act hearing, so this is very relatable to me.
Also it has Millie Simmonds, my favourite Deaf actor. You may know her from A Quiet Place as Regan Abbott.
two chapters into Deeplight and I have already waved my arms in glee TWICE with the way Hardinge has incorporated deafness into the storyworld. i think i am going to really like this book
Only Murders in the Building Headcanon - Theo and Teddy Saw a Musical Together
This is going to be really niche, but after seeing Theo and Teddy again in 5x02, I had to share this.
One of the things we know caused Teddy and Theo to be somewhat distant is that Teddy couldn't share his love of music and theater with Theo so easily due to his deafness.
But in 2003, there was a Broadway revival of the musical Big River co-produced with Deaf West Theater in LA, that featured deaf and hearing actors working together, including in the lead role of Huck Finn.
If Theo is about the same age as Mabel, he'd be an older kid/preteen when that came out. So, I can't help but think Teddy MUST have taken that opportunity.
Can you imagine how exciting that would have been for Teddy? How nice it might have been for little Theo, who was probably dragged along to a lot of his father's plays, to finally understand what was going on for once?
Oh, and bonus: Here's Nathan Lane presenting a performance from Big River in 2003:
(And yes, before you comment, I know about the Deaf West Spring Awakening production. But this came first, and I don't see Spring Awakening as a father-son viewing experience. Maybe Theo went and saw that himself...)
