  1. No, you're not a bad PERSON for having been rude to a disabled person or people before.
    But the BEHAVIOURS can be bad.

    Yes, the assumption of "knowing" someone else's intent (often negative, from experience) hurts people.

    Disabled people get that a lot. Ask me how I know. Yes, disabled people do it to each other too. Almost like we're also human individuals or something. 🙀

    (d/Deaf people, I'm not trying to overreach here, sorry. I'm more responding to things other hearing people have said to me when I mention how gd useful and interesting BSL is.)

  2. No, not everyone else wants to "just learn English".

    Should they have to anyway, just because it'd be easier for *you*?

    Would you like to learn Portuguese, Swahili, or Hindi? Many people speak those languages too.

    Except try learning when you can't hear other speakers very well, and it's tonal, and people assume you're being rude EVERY single time you make an honest mistake.

  3. Hi to all the #EduTooter folks! I do #research in #learningsciences + #HCI (working with kids & communites through #ParticipatoryDesign), as well as teach undergraduate and master's classes.

    Interested in #ConnectedLearning, #ProjectBasedLearning, #socialEmotionalLearning, #informalLearning, #informalEd, #HCIed, #DesignEd, and other awesome learning/education things, particularly learning ecosystems and reflective practices. Intrigued by #CriticalPedagogy, #Ungrading, and similar perspectives.
