Looking for a Christmas present in Greenwich? Or any other end-of-year festival gift?

Our new #T-Shirt is on sale but you won’t get it on the web!

#Oldskool is the #Goldskool so we’re selling them at #Greenwich Vintage Market in #London, obviously.
2 Greenwich Church St, Greenwich, London SE10 9BQ, UK
Note the British Sign Language #BSL spelling of Goldskool and the #QR code that leads to this very page.
The quote on the shirt is from the #great #MarkTwain, so we claim no credit for that. However, it’s still relevant today.

Sick Beats: Using Music And Smartphone To Attack A Biosafety Room

Imagine a movie featuring a scene set in a top-secret bioweapons research lab. The villain, clad in a bunny suit, strides into the inner sanctum of the facility — one of the biosafety rooms w…

Well if the English Cabinet can pay lip service to the 2010 Equality Act...

Shocking treatment of this poor man!

If you're not aware, during the last 140 years since the infamous Milan conference, until recently teaching the Deaf via sign language has been discouraged and even actively abolished by hearing higher-ups. Instead the precious school time has been wasted trying to 'cure' children of Deafness by barbaric methods used in the pursuit of 'teaching them to speak' by 'teachers of the Deaf' who barely know any sign, if any.

The result being that many Deaf children have emerged from an education that has taught them own some cases to form words that they can't hear but has left them criminally short of an education that could have been delivered far less effortlessly had sign been used as a teaching method.

All this to say that it was completely ignorant to assume the the man had much, or any, experience of expressing his concerns, health and medical history using written English.

We can do better. ☹️

Oops! No, not the same thing at all. 🤭
I have sympathy for their situation as I believe the intention was improved #accessibility.
Simply liaising with the #Deaf community in the first place would have helped to put a more positive spin on things.

Nottingham Castle to liaise with local Deaf group after listing Makaton as an access provision for Deaf visitors

Nottingham Castle have confirmed they have reached out to the local Deaf society after it was revealed that their website lists “Makaton trained” staff under their access provision for …

As a formerly 'bright and inquisitive child who needs to pay more attention', I'd love to see BSL become a GCSE subject in UK schools!

Sarah Playforth: Will Strictly Come Dancing lead to a permanent shift in views towards BSL?

I’ve been watching, and loving, along with many, the performance of Rose Ayling-Ellis, who has taught her professional partner, Giovanni Pernici, enough British Sign Language (BSL) to communicate w…
