Books on the Brain
Deafies, Let's Chat! Here is a post on books about the brain. Look for my recommendations or reviews, if any, in future on those books. It will take time. Why am I so interested? Because I have this deep-seated skepticism about infants HAVING TO have cochlear implants as soon as possible. But I will need more evidence [...]

One Of Many Paths Toward Larger Deaf-Friendly Society…
Deafies, Let's Chat! Kim wrote a blog post here that still needs to be addressed sometime. Why? Because as we increase our support base for ASL (and other signed languages) rights, we need to provide for it. But I propose that we shouldn't ignore why there is a scarcity of signing communities... because of the black year 1880! [...]

We Are Blaming Shifters???
Deafies, Let's Chat! Candy wrote a ridiculous post about Deaf people being blame shifters here... I have to admit that I was astounded by profoundly bad education here. The theory of oppression (racism, sexism, audism, linguicism, etc) is not founded on blaming but rather on the system that privilege certain group of people for their unique properties.  Also, [...]

Deafies, Let's Chat! As I watch the words fly around the online Deaf world about cochlear implants, I feel tired.

CI Controversial, Why?
Deafies, Let's Chat! Hello, Just read Rachel's blog post asking why CIs should still be controversial?  I here present two possible main reasons why CIs are bothering Deaf people.  Now let me change the question a bit.  The question should be: why is CI advocating controversial?  It does make a big difference.  The majority, I'm guessing, of Deaf people [...]

What Is This HOSTILITY Toward DeafBlind About!?
Deafies, Let's Chat! While I realize that the anti-subtitlers may not view themselves as hostile, on the other side of coin of the debate the DeafBlind may feel hostility popping in the air.  Personally, I am a low vision and very lucky in that I can view vlogs with ease with right software.  But there are deafblind who [...]

Invasion? More Like Simple Clamoring.
Deafies, Let's Chat! Some people seem to be concerned about how blogs by people who simply don't think like signing Deaf people are invading DeafRead. But let's remember that DeafRead staff NEVER claimed to be signing Deaf only source of information.  And why should it start?  Its original ideals still shine powerfully anyway.
