(American Sign Language (ASL) translation note: The sign for CRISIS is the rising and crossing of the arms with the hands in a “C” formation.)
⠀⠀ Image description via Carlisle: an illustration of ASL for transgender in trans pride flag color. The sign starts with hands almost like high five but slightly bent with thumb a bit inside, as if you’re holding an egg. The hand is placed on chest with side of thumb and index finger touching your chest. Then the hand is moved away from chest with fingers in more closed, the hand is rotated that your palm is facing inward toward your chest. Then last sign is all fingers touching each other at fingertips, with side of your pinkie finger touching the chest. ⠀⠀ #deaftransgender #deaftrans #transgenderdeaf #deafandtrans #transgender #trans #transdayofvisibility #tdov #deafqueer #deaflgbt #deaflgbtq #lgbt #deafqueerart #deaftransart #queerasl #queersigns #americansignlanguage #transisbeautiful⠀

The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies
!
Thanks so much! I look forward to reading it. :)
Might you have a transcript of this talk? Thanks!
Are there ASL-based resources for discussing immigration rights and resources for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, and Hard of Hearing students? Thanks for sharing!
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

photo of poem: a line between two points expand into a plane beyond just destinations now an expanse of love, of home “i love you to the moon and back” covers the whole galaxy “from sea to shining sea” covers the mountains, cities, and rivers (of stolen lands) “from the river to the sea” covers people’s homes, families, friends and lives -written the week leading up to the ceasefire and inauguration. 1/2025

steering us toward a more collective approach to aid.
is there a word for when you are on the cusp of crossing the expanse between you and the space that holds your capacity to create art?
Don’t miss @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in the Guardian! So much wisdom, inc this:
“I feel despondent and overwhelmed by the political situation often, but then I remind myself this is by design, that those in power want to erode our resolve and [for us to] give up.” www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Louder for the hearies in the back
“…ableism is still widely a socially-accepted brand of mean.” - @novicsara.bsky.social
read about how it impacts all of us.

#AcademicSky, let's get to know each other! Quote this with: 1) a project you're working on & 2) an idea you aren't working on but keep thinking abt
1) exploring how deaf ed can effect a more just & sustainable society (it’s not by maintaining the status quo) 2) education futures outside of schools
*flashes lights* *stomp, stomp* hi, i’m here.
