BREAKING NEWS! The #BSLBill has passed! We now have a #BSLAct!! #BSLActNow 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳


It's British Sign Language Week! If you like falling down rabbit holes on Wikipedia, feel free to start from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_S… or jump straight through to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:… to enjoy plenty of entries on BSL and BSL-people! #SignLanguageWeek2022 #BSLLives


Such sad news for the deaf community. Condolences to June and her family. Frances Elton deserves a presence on Wikipedia, but her draft has not been approved yet. However, you can read about her powerful legacy here: wikitia.com/wiki/Frances_E… as well as in @Deaf's thread below.

Saddened to read that Frances Elton has passed away. Such as giant in the Deaf community and she was one of the main faces of BSL linguistics research for decades. Such a massive loss, my condolences to June, her family and friends. A massive loss.



BSL Bill has passed through second reading! One step closer to legal recognition of BSL. Amazing work of all the campaigners involved #BSLActNow

Rosie Cooper MP @rosie4westlancs summarised and not a single word of opposition to the Bill in this debate. No vote - unopposed. BSL BILL PASSED!! 👏🙌😃🥳 #BSLActNow #BritishSignLanguage #BSL #BSLBill
