Guest Author: Judi, @DeafLibertarian on Deaf Culture.

I have followed this lady for almost as long as I have been on X/Twitter, and I really value what she has to say. I have been aware of "Dead Culture" for a lot longer, and Rush Limbaugh definitely encountered it when he went profoundly deaf in adulthood. He got some pushback from the Deaf …

Are you worried about how Facebook, Google, and other big sites use data they collect about you? Pay Attention to the Big Three
