Honestly, the only word I understood there was 'awesome' but I'll take it 😁 was a lovely productive day with @nrjonesmusic, Isobel, @BslParr, @jensomelunn et al at Parc and Dare!
Diwrnod gwych hyd yn hyn.
Pawb yn mwynhau cyd-greu sioeau cerdd byrion newydd.
Hyfryd i fod yn y Parc a'r Dâr gyda unigolion hollol awesome.

Exciting times for BSL! Between @RoseAylingEllis's incredible success and a BSL act on the cards, 2022 is off to a cracking start, onwards and upwards!

Word of the day is ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect unwanted attention from one thing by making a big deal of another.
Just a few more days to submit, can be any sign language so long as translation is in English. Come on #deaf poets around the world! Be lovely to see a variety of signed poems for this #SignPoetry #BSLPoetry #ASLPoetry #AuslanPoetry #JustAboutAnySignLanguageYouLikePoetry
Four days left to submit to our Bodies Focus, spring 2022 – guest edited by @mailbykite and @JamieRHale!
Get your translations in to us by midnight 7 January – more information here: modernpoetryintranslation.co…
Total honour to be part of this, playing a certain Chief Medical Officer! Watch this to see the question of #access being flipped on its head, then watch again for @sparkycaro's turn as BoJo - one the best things I've seen all year. The BEST. #WhereIsTheInterpreter #deaf #BSL

Lovely review by @melissamostyn (and I'm not just saying that because she put my translation videos in it :) ) Super pleased to be involved with this anthology, it's a great collection by a wide variety of deaf poets. Kudos to @ArachnePress @sophieLstone @LisaDMKelly

RED at @polkatheatre directed by @HannahQuigley beautifully performed by Bea Webster, Ciaran O’Reilly and Zoe McWhinney. Gorgeous set, scary wolf and not a word spoken! Riveted. Go see it if you dare!

What's depressing is that "crabs in the bucket" i.e. how pulling each other down only hurts us all has been known about in deaf world for ages yet... It's still happening? Now on a global scale? Why? #PullUpNotDown #DeafTalentIsEverywhere #IHopeWeAllMakeIt #LiftUp #LifeIsTooShort

@Twitter - the individual who has contacted you to have the Deaf Talent Collective Twitter page taken down is acting unlawfully - their Trademark does not extend to the UK - the Deaf community here in the UK support Deaf Talent Collective and the wonderful work they do!
Deaf Talent Collective has been wrongly suspended on @Twitter for the most ludicrous reasons, when they provide so many deaf actors (& the industry) fantastic opportunities here in the UK. You only have to glance at their Insta to see the impact they have…
