Absolutely!

She has a focus on civil rights. @sgranby90 tagging you here.

I love her story! We were on a panel together at the conference this year.

It’s a great story. I enjoyed meeting Shaniqua and many other contributors this year at the conference.

Hey Blake, great blog post! Thanks for sharing.

I finally watched CODA last night. I liked it ok but didn’t think it was amazing. Phenomenal cast and it’s a touching, feel-good coming-of-age comedy, but I get some criticisms from members of the deaf community. Like, there’s nothing wrong with telling a story from the perspective of a non-disabled family member, but it didn’t add up that they we…[Read more]

Hey Crystal, great to hear from you!

First off, I do think virtual dates and talking/texting are good ways to start. It gives you a chance to connect with someone first. Then you can discuss ways to meet in person. I have friends and caregivers who drive me a lot when we’re hanging out.

It’s a headache and I get angry b/c they can be very stupid. But for every time they messed up, my other DME (Coram) does a great job with my feeding tube stuff.

I have to say that I don’t think anyone should stop with the dating sites, but they don’t have to be traditional like OKCupid or any of the others. I think everyone on here is worth talking to and has a plethora of things to say to anyone. I’ve been married for 24 1/2 yrs, and I met my husband online back when chat rooms were a big deal. There was…[Read more]

Hey Blake, I fixed it. Thanks for sharing.
