@masukomi You can thank Alexander Graham Bell and his ilk for that, eugenecist/audist. Audism is deeply ingrained in America, so an oral-only approach is preferred by most institutions (including and often especially for Deaf children, which leads to language deprevation). ASL is the better option, studies back that up time and time again but these orgs would rather put the onus on the Deaf to wear CI and HA to make things easier on the hearing instead of making ASL more accessible to everyone.

@masukomi When you become deaf as a kid the school system usually is tied to all of the state systems that help provide education and resources but if you become deaf as an adult (or remain Deaf into adulthood as I have) resources are few, rare, and means tested. Learning ASL as a deaf adult if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a school for the Deaf or a high Deaf population there's usually classes available at those schools in the evening. Otherwise online is usually your best bet.

Ask an adorable femme for music recommendations and discover flavors of tinnitus you never knew were possible

Stone butch/high femme solidarity is everything. Get you friends that see the beauty in the you that you are who can celebrate and commiserate with you. Two faces of the same coin who have each other's backs.

My hubris of scoring several dates is being paid for tenfold

Who knew asking people on dates then puts the onus on you to figure out where the fuck you want to go

You ever just make up a guy and can't think of anything else?

There's little I wouldn't do to help put a smile on a lesbian's face

I hate that algorithms are always trying to figure out how to advertise to me but I do love that my deep appreciation of femmes makes the machines think that I'd buy heels and dresses. Can't pin me down because I'm a butch freak

Saw a butch smiling and laughing so much the other day and my heart is still glowing from witnessing it

Debuted two zines last night— one I'm really proud of that I know for a fact it's good and one that I'm so freaking nervous about

@TheJen this is my experience of watching anything from the mid 80s-90s and I just point at the screen and go "That's Jellico, oh hey thats Kurn, wow no one told me Gowron was in this show"

Rosemary boosted

@aliceferox I'll admit I first thought this was an image taken from the surface of an asteroid which is cool! Hydrangeas are lovely flowers.

Being a bashful butch is driving me nuts, I know I'm hot but I'm terrible at making a move!
