An absolute dream to meet Paddy Ladd at Deaf Day - extended apologises for the OMG face I probably pulled about 8 times when I realised you had a stall. Aaaand, thank you to the lovely lady who took this photo of us all! ✌🏼

NEW ONLINE WORKSHOP! Going freelance: Practical, professional and personal consideration with Dr Russell Aldersson. Saturday, 24th February, 10am - 2pm via ZOOM. For more info or to book your place: remark.uk.com/bsl-courses/fr… #BSLInterpreter #CPDWorkshop


Currently obsessing with the webinars available on Linguistpd. Although I don’t have to log CPD points, it’s so important to use these resources to keep learning and ensure that in overlapping domains, I can use my growing knowledge to practice safely.

We are not in competition with AI, or even with other interpreters who can use AI. We are in competition with our potential clients who think AI is a cheap magic wand. Stop listening to the doomsayers. Change your marketing.

Whitstable's bathing water is classified as 'excellent'. And here it was this morning.

92% of England’s designated bathing sites are rated as good or excellent. We will continue to work with partners to ensure that we keep the sites clean for people and for nature. Check out the water quality at your local designated bathing sites: environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/

Attention to BSL users. For the signs for Black Lives Matter, we, Black Deaf Group, prefers the sign for ‘matter’ as important. One finger represents us as human being with value. And it signifies one life, therefore it is important to stay alive and fight for equal. Thank you.
