DeafDigest - 04 May 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 4, 2021 -- hearing in comics, deaf in a movie Makkari is a character in both Marvel Comics and in the upcoming movie. In the comics, Makkari is hearing; in the film Makkari is deaf (Lauren Ridloff). An interesting way to twist deaf/hearing fantasy all around.   -- lipreading through the hand covering the mouth Could deaf people see through a hearing hand, covering the mouth, to lipread what the person is saying? No way! Yet there have been complaints that some hearing people cover their mouths with their hands while speaking to the deaf. First, the mask; now this, the hand! Why?   -- warning from a deaf job applicant A deaf job applicant gave this warning - never ask the employer what the company policy is on diversity. Employers do not want troublemakers, and even the company follows ADA rules, ways will be found, legally, not to hire the deaf person!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 05/03/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
