(Im afraid to talk to people online so im using anon HOWEVER)

If you want to find some places to meet Deaf/HoH people you gotta go to Facebook groups! I found this local group to me that meet like once or twice a month who were willing to allow someone who's learning in and I've been going since. Anyways I highly recommended checking local Facebook stuff. There's also some state led websites that people put their events on but you know how that is. I've been learning ASL for about a year now and the thing that made me grow the most is being in the middle of like 30 people signing. Scary but fun! Good luck finding people to chat with ๐Ÿ’š

Hi! Thank you so much for your advice. I don't use Facebook but any help is always appreciated.

I have been looking around for months, but it seems my town lacks many things like that. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I may just get Facebook just to join a group but who knows.

Whyโ€™d you decide to be an interpreter?

(Also, hai! I saw you followed me :D)

Hi๐Ÿ‘‹

I love signing, but also, I have experience with disability from both sides (chronic pain and working in assisted living). To me, serving a community you identify with just hits different. I know many Deaf people don't identify as disabled and I've never really been deaf, but I think there are a lot of parallels between my experiences facing inaccessibility as well as the pride and assumptions that come with being trans and the experience of many Deaf people I've met.

I'm also immersed in the Deaf community. Like I said earlier, it's important to me to be a part of the community I serve, but that's not the reason I interact with the Deaf community. I genuinely prefer socializing in ASL. People used to think I was an introvert, but now I go to social events at least weekly and often multiple times a week because I go to every Deaf event open to hearing people. So really it's more because I'm a hearing person in the community that I want to be an interpreter than the other way around.

poster for The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.

I just watched The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.

It is fully in ASL with English voice over and closed captions.

I thought the writing was great, the acting was phenomenal (idk about the voice acting. My computer was on mute), and the editing...but overall, it was a good show. It's not for everyone; it's a story about sexual assault. It explores the different way people respond to allegations: from active support and passive support, to dismissal and denial, to guilt and shame. I was hesitant to watch it because it was advertised as a dark comedy about sexual harassment, but I'm glad I did. I thought they handled the challenging themes well despite the inherent goofiness of the characters and settings they chose to tell their story with.
