DeafDigest - 31 May 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 31, 2021 -- interpreter and deaf client do not understand each other! Is it possible that an interpreter and client do not understand each other? It may not happen in USA because we have Certified Deaf Interpreters that bridge the gap. But it is happening, in a small way, with the British video relay service!   -- comic book with empty texts Could a comic book be without texts in some pages? Uncanny X-Men is a comic book that has been around for 58 years. One of the characters is Claire Connell, who is deaf. And to emphasize her deafness, her comments are blank! Good idea or bad idea?   -- happy or unhappy with a new law in Washington state Washington State Senate passed a bill to require captions to be turned on with TV sets at all public places. Happy? Yes, but this bill allows airports, tribal lands and houses of worship to have captions turned off! Not sure why captions can be turned on in some places and turned off in other places.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 05/30/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
