"Mrs Agnew's first language is BSL.
Upon arrival at hospital, she typed her request for an interpreter on her phone.
But the receptionist asked, 'What is a BSL interpreter?', Mrs Agnew said."
I can understand clarifying BSL, but what access is being provided when unfamiliar with the options?

Sometimes I wonder if the overwhelming scale of #SBLAAR25 is worth it. But then I go to a panel on a topic tangential to my work but w/presenters who are just good thinkers & writers & question-askers, head back to my room, and bang out 750 words for a paper I'd been struggling with for weeks.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.
You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

What had happened was, I went to the reception of of the publishers of one of my books. But it was dead AF. So I went around the corner to Wabash nation. They had a DJ and a dance floor. I won't name all the people on that floor. So let's just say, I broke my knees and my back.
