Why Joey Baer Should Not Come Back.
Der Sankt Speaks... In light of recent departures of DeafRead vloggers/bloggers, I find something quite interesting: it appears that a lot of people seem to not want vloggers/bloggers like Patti Durr, Joey Baer, and the like to leave DeafRead because they contribute to the exchange of ideas and perspectives of the deaf community. That, in itself, is justifiable; [...]

People Who Get It
SpeakUpLibrarian Someone recently handed me an audiobook on CD saying "I think you'll like this story." I was less than enthusiastic as I have never enjoyed listening to audiobooks. My mind just drifts away and I lose track of the storyline. Now that I'm aware of my hearing loss, I was sure it would be just too much "work" to grasp the story without any visual input. Nevertheless, I p...

Book Review: Talk, Talk
SpeakUpLibrarian I just finished reading Talk, Talk by T.C. Boyle. This book is a thriller that explores the question of what someone might do if their identity were stolen. Dana is a deaf teacher who finds herself pulled over by a police officer when she rolls past a stop sign on her way to the dentist. A bad situation becomes a nightmare when the officer arrests her and takes her to...

In and Out
SpeakUpLibrarian I have a love/hate relationship with my hearing aids. I love that some days I feel as though I could “pass” for hearing. On those lucky days, I blithely manage conversations with store clerks and other strangers. I don’t make any obvious blunders and I don’t betray myself with a puzzled expression on my face. On those occasions, my little coping strategies help me mak...

Recipe for Disaster?
Love, Daddy A long while ago, I recounted a jailhouse visit with Dad where I smuggled in a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit. (Read Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV - Part V of that story which isn't as long as all the parts would have you believe.)At the end of that visit, Dad had me pick up a bag of his belongings. Quick prison lesson: inmates are only allowed so many papers i...
