DeafDigest - 27 October 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - October 27, 2021 -- eating alligators Do deaf people like to eat alligators? DeafDigest editor ate a serving of alligator and it was delicious and he kept coming for more the following day. The Deaf Alligator Roast has become a new annual Deaf Event at a privately owned campground in Florida, where alligators are aplenty.   -- Disabili-tea, as a new phrase A deaf student attending hearing college in one of these New England states, has come up with a new phrase to describe his deafness. it is Disabili-tea. It stands for inaccessibility, ableism and continuous description of what disability is all about. Will it win over these hearing people? Why did he pick a hearing college instead of Gallaudet or RIT? He simply felt he can do better mingling with the hearing instead of with the deaf!   -- a weird interpreteing situation As a kid, a Coda once interpreted for his deaf father when a stranger rang the flashing door button. He was soliciting donations for Greenpeace. Flustered by the appearance of the Coda who totally had no idea of what was being discussed and the father who got more confused, the Greenpeace person showed them a can of green peas hoping they would understand what he was talking about. They didn't understand and the Greenpeace person left and moved on to the next house. It was only until later when they realized the stranger tried to explain he was working for Greenpeace!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 10/24/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
