With a heavy heart I'm announcing the release of my edited Special Issue of the American Annals of the Deaf on Vygotskian Perspectives in Deaf Education: It includes an article by Jon Henner who died Monday and was, like Vygotsky, a fearless advocate.

Final Twitter post. At a time of rising fascism, we must restore communities and build a praxis that protects the vulnerable, including the young and old and uplifts deaf and disabled people. Mutual aid is nongovernmental, uncoerced. Find me on:

@MorpheyesStudio @HeidiGASL @wyattehall @jaceyhill We watched it as a household, and my son (under 2 YO) was pointing at the screen signing "DA DA!!" with wide open eyes. So cool!

It's tax season. I’d like to write off the thousands of hours in "deaf tax" payments, but my accountant says no such deduction exists.

@dr_jascott @emleh06 @jmhenner @DeafKilljoy @StefGWalsh @LealaHolcomb @MarieCoppola68 I wish I was there in person with yall. The videos you shared with me were moving to say the least. I had a hard time doing more work that day after watching. Thank YOU, JSRebel for doing the compiling and emotional investments to make it a reality.

@DavidHarrySmith @wyattehall Good idea, Dave. So far, the best thing I've done with my startup is to hire Leah! Wyatte, care to do a Zoom chat about this idea one day? I'd love to pick your brain. TIA! What qualifications does one need for this? What do they do that saves you time to do other tasks?

@StefGWalsh @AgelessPassions I read about 10 a day now, and I am learning (relearning?) as much as my son is. It's truly sacred time, reading with him
