  1. A bird has been sitting in the tree 🌲 all afternoon.
    🤨 Alright, who is the wise-guy that taught that darned bird the notification sound on my phone!!!!📱 🎵
    I have no "directional hearing",🔀 🔂 that means when I do hear a sound I haven't a clue from which direction. ( and my hearing level is near deaf🦻 even while using my hearing aids)
    After several hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone....!🙄
    It's that darned bird outside in the tree!🤦

    edit: Changing the notification sound !

  2. I'm in the waiting space in my tattoo shop, and there's a kid here with their parent.. the kid is maybe 5 years old, and has bilateral hearing aids.

    They just looked at me and said "did you know bats hear better than me?"

    I told them bats also hear better than me, and they seem pretty chuffed by that.

  4. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ PSA -- TO HEARING FOLK OUT THERE ‼️

    👉 HEARING AIDS DO NOT RESTORE NATURAL HEARING .👈
    REPEAT THIS ⬆️ until it is permanently in your brain.
    Stop expecting hearing aid users to respond to your gentle door knocks, or when talking to us when you are not within our visual field!
    Once we inform you we have a hearing issue, we no longer accept your excuses of "well. I knocked at your door", or "I thought you could hear me".
    It's on YOU, NOT US every time you screw up. We get weary of endlessly reminding you!

    Thank you for reading my TED talk

  5. 👋 Dear ER Physicians⚕️ and EMS 🚑 workers,

    When communicating with deaf/Deaf and HoH (Hard of Hearing), yelling is Not helpful!
    Open a book and educate yourself about challenges of the wide variety of hearing impairments, and how to communicate!!!
    Stop expecting us to educate each and every one of you--it's actually part of your job !

  8. The Hoh Rain Forest of Olympic National Park becomes a patient guide for me in this second-person meditation. It is a moss-embroidered forest of wisdom, lined with ferns and storied over with trees older than memory. It asks nothing of us. Its only purpose is life itself.

  9. I've been evaluating Jellyfin as my #Kodi replacement - mainly b/c I don't like #Plex and wanted a server-centric model - but Jellyfin fails when it comes to the downloading and general-handling of closed-captions, so it's a hard pass 👎 for now

  10. In this second-person meditation on the Hoh Rain Forest of Olympic National Park, I contemplate its proliferation of abundant life. The forest becomes a patient guide for me, a moss-embroidered forest of wisdom, lined with ferns and storied over with trees older than memory. It asks nothing of us. Its only purpose is life itself.

  11. You ever have a moment where you realize you belong to a community you didn't think you were part of before? That was me last night struggling with my listening practice for Japanese. I didn't really think I was HoH before, but this year got me fucked up frfr I can't hear shit. #disabled #neisvoid #HoH #DisabledBlackTalk #BlackAndDisabled

  16. #engineers - when you #design an alarm circuit, think past the beep, please, and include/install a visual alert, like an LED...

    ...be nice to have a clue as to why the dogs randomly freak-out...

  17. Haben Girma, a Black American disability rights activist, who is Deaf Blind. She talks about disability, accessibility, and how the idea that "faster is better" is ableist.

    The tiktok is captioned, with a transcript in the description. Haben also gives a verbal image description.

    The talk is an excerpt from the panel she was on during the Whitehouse Disability Pride Convening.

  18. I follow some amazing folks who are #Blind or have low vision disability. I am extremely hard of hearing and I realized I'm not following anyone who is #HoH or #Deaf. Anyone have recommendations of who to follow?

  19. It's #DisabilityPrideMonth :disability_pride:
    Time for my annual PSA for #Video Creators:
    *Subtitles Are Vital*
    Also, plan on them going Over your video
    When you put important info at the bottom of the screen I have to pause, turn off subtitles, rewind, play it to see the info, pause, & turn subtitles back on- unless I miss it entirely because the subtitles hide it!
