DeafDigest - 18 August 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - August 18, 2021 -- a big challenge or an exaggeration A deaf activist said it is quite a big challenge just to order coffee at a coffee cafe, and that by the time the order arrives, it is already cold. An exaggeration? DeafDigest thinks so. There are deaf people that love just regular coffee and would point to it during the order. There are also deaf people that love complicated coffee mixes - and they could just write on a notepad what they want - or point to the coffee menu on the wall. Just keep in mind hearing people do find it challenging to order their complicated coffee orders!   -- punished for filing too many ADA lawsuits A deaf man, who worked with his hearing attorney, filed too many ADA lawsuits in a 6-year span. For that reason, a federal circuit court panel agreed to punish them with a fine and a community service requirement. The judge said it was an illegal way of trying to make money off the ADA defendants.   -- a widely-praised movie still has critics There are always critics that express disappointment even when a movie is perceived to be a success. The CODA movie is no exception. Some said that despite the movie success, there are still deaf people and even Coda struggles. Others said the movie lacked racial diversity. And so on. Can't always win!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 08/15/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
