"I am a CODA, a child of a deaf adult, which, I guess, makes my mother a COHA, a child of a hearing adult. Two actually," says stand-up comedian and writer Moshe Kasher in his new book, "Subculture Vulture." LitHub has published this extract, in which Kasher discusses deaf history, language and education. "The decisions of people with zero experience in the deaf world, who have never really thought about deafness in any way, shape the future of the deaf, again and again," he writes.

The @cloudnativefdn Deaf and Hard of Hearing Working Group promotes inclusivity in tech by offering a level playing field.

The group empowers the deaf and hard-of-hearing community not just in the cloud sector, but also in other tech fields, the idea is that everyone should be represented from the majority, minority all the way to those who are gifted differently

I attended my first Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)'s Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HoH) Working Group meeting yesterday.

We talked about what our group can do to help support Deaf and HoH folks at conferences, at jobs, and how do we spread awareness so we feel more included in tech spaces. I am excited to be a part of helping tech be more inclusive.

ChatGPT making things up about the article: Metallica is set to become the first major rock band to release all of the music videos from one album, Hardwired...To Self-Destruct, in American Sign Language (ASL).

#Adamorobe , a #village in the #WestAfrican nation of #Ghana is known as the ‘#DeafCommunity ’ due to a high incidence of a #hereditary form of #deafness. The community has found an #innovative way to normalize their #HereditaryCondition by #developing their own #SignLanguage which has been adopted by both the #deaf # hearing people in the village. This is quite different from the formal standard sign language used in the school of the deaf.
