  1. None of our usual BSL interpreters are available for my online show a week from now, does anyone have recommendations? Fully remote, particularly suited to chronically ill and LGBTQ+ folks

    General introduction to what we do: intrapology.com
    Details of next week's show: post.intrapology.com/episodes/

  2. I recently discovered the website CommandingHands.co.uk/

    It is in development, but it's so exciting to see something entirely free that aims to promote the use, teaching, resources for and profile of British Sign Language.

    The website should be fully up and running by the middle of this year. 👍

    Genuinely excited to see how this develops 🙂

  3. A wee clip of @deirdrefergusson signing my song ‘Just Because I am Me’ on Sunday. The beginning of the chorus got cut off, it goes:

    Because I can still laugh, and I can still cry;
    And I am still there when you look into my eye.
    And I can still feel, and I can still touch,
    And just because I am me, I am good enough.

    Thanks to @musicinthecommunityedinburgh for the video and a fab event!

  4. While I'm always concerned about adding to the burden of #teachers, and of course there are issues of the resource(s) to support such provision, in the main I think the introduction of a GSCE in #BritishSignLanguage has to be seed as good news for diversity & inclusivity... how it works out in practice is altogether another matter (unfortunately)!

  5. Make BSL a Core Subject in UK Schools
    It is disheartening to see individuals like my sister struggle to communicate with others simply because they do not know what she is signing. This petition aims to address this issue and advocate for the inclusion of BSL as a core subject in all schools across the UK.

  6. Are #introduction posts a thing on blahaj.zone?

    I'm not clear on the etiquette, but I do enjoy oversharing so hi! I'm Bright, pronouns they/them, a 37 year old transfemme
    #ActuallyAutistic #Enby from Yorkshire, currently living near Doncaster. Experiencing #TransJoy every time I look at my gf, who is perfect.

    I'm exploring the fediverse because my preferred flavour of Reddit died, so anyone who wants to show me how to find my
    #NonBinary and #Anarchism memes will have my thanks.

    Interested in
    #Activism and #Community building, also learning #BritishSignLanguage and looking for practice partners.

  7. It’s the first #NationalBSLDay!

    I’m learning to give directions in my Level 1 BSL course, but watching the videos is a struggle …

  8. This week, 13th to 19th March, is Sign Language Week in the UK. I know a handful of BSL signs and sentences thanks to a couple of taster courses I’ve done in person and online. I’m now signed up to do an online course in Level 1. Daunted but excited.

  9. Just watched the S03E01 of #HisDarkMaterials. #RuthWilson’s #BSL was very interesting. Signed in pretty much English word order, #MrsCoulter signs softly, in a gentle and kind way, but there’s a sort-of pleading too. It sounds very sneaky and snake-like to my eyes. Does Wilson know sign? Anyone know? #signlanguage #britishsignlanguage

  10. @fairplaymagazin Vermutlich findest du mehr mit dem Begriff #BritishSignLanguage (BSL), so heißt die Sprache nämlich richtigerweise. 🤓
