subtitled version non-subtitled version This is a fun vlog showing children (ages 6 - 12) using ASL in a fast pace that they transmit information in a natural way without having to repeat or slow down. This is the way it is supposed to be for ASL users where they can completely understand, express their thoughts and engage in a dialogue without having to struggle. Special thanks to parents for their permission to have their bilingual children in the video. Enjoy!

One of my basil plants harbored a worm or two. It became necessary to cut off the branch just like I have decided to cut off ties with DeafRead so that the whole plant can continue to grow and prosper into a healthy discourse with respect for ASL advocates who are true to the Deaf vlogosphere community. We no longer need to tolerate DeafRead editors' poor judgment that they have neglected to monitor against those who attack the others especially those who have wormed their way to their workplac ...

I was taking a moment to reflect the diversity of Deafhood and realized that many of us had diverse experiences that we may had grown up in different ways not only to be Deaf, but to be human. Before I go on, recall that whenever I type Deaf with a capital D, it refers to all walks of life. You know diversity has been stressed in the book, Understanding Deaf Culture, In Search of Deafhood, that on pg. 469, it said that : "Deaf people from every part of the world, of all ages and all colours - t ...

This is another worthy vlog to watch about hearing parents' testimony why we should not be supporting AB2072.

You MUST watch this vlog done by Sheri Ann Farinha's CODA son, Ryan Mutti and his friend A.J. Memar, who were very creative in expressing why passing AB2072 would be a bad idea. It is worth the watch, believe me! I love this line:"They say they will provide the communication options,to new parents of deaf babiesbut they are really only talking about cochlear implants... See Morefor most part,what a slow start,they conduct the world like a medical Mozart.The information to ASL is given as a small ...

Historically, women and girls have faced forced laws that tell them what to do with their bodies against their will which is a violation of human rights. The sad part is that it is still happening today here in America that the judge ordered the father to force his daughter to wear a cochlear implant at all waking hours. She already has a cochlear implant since 14 months old which works good for her until she got a second one at 5 1/2 years old, it is not as effective. Letter writing informatio ...

Seeing and reading about the confused group of misled people whose agenda is to oppose and fight against those who are opposed to the CA Bill AB 2072 is not an issue here. But here's my beef: rather than acting as honest political opponents, they are spinning a web of lies and are attempting to distort the facts to the media. Really, shame on them for not being responsible in getting the story straight. Historically, parents of Deaf children have been hindered from receiving information on the ...

A subtitled picture analogy between Potatohood and Deafhood on how they were frequently misunderstood with full of myths. It is time to peel back the truth for the new year!

(subtitled) Barb DiGi shares her disappointment about what really happened behind the scene during auditioning for the Helen Keller understudy role. She believes it is a lame excuse for not hiring a Deaf girl for the role since they claimed that they couldn't find a qualified one which is completely hogwash. She saw it in her own eyes and knew the true story that it is not the case.
