I think it’s getting to the point that we are fed up with the way of how people tell us to read their lips because they assume that every Deaf person can lipread when that isn’t even remotely true. I have seen it everywhere, this is common everywhere and it is more annoying than you think. It is acceptable if you would ask a Deaf or Hard of Hearing person if they can lipread but it is not acceptable and disrespectful to demand or to tell Deaf or Hard of Hearing people to lipread because not everyone can do so. Every Deaf and Hard of Hearing people have their preferred method of communications whether it be writing on a paper, demand an interpreter which by law they can require one, use a device such as a smartphone or a tablet to communicate with a hearing person or others that I have not thought of. I have seen some articles, videos and some people in the groups on Facebook or on social media share their experience where they were demanded to read lips but they cannot do so. Some would assume that anyone who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing have the ability to read the lips is a myth, it is tiresome for us come across the people who expect…
Joshie is back, blogging again and not only just that but also has redesigned the website! I know I haven’t properly written a blog post in a very long time, for many reasons that I rather keep it private, along with the holidays which usually when the people get busy especially during the Christmas time to shop for the presents and getting ready for the New Year Eve or New Year. For several months I have been struggling to find some free time to blog, not just blog but also to maintain several other websites and try to keep up with a few projects that I have going so it has been a hectic time for me lately, so I barely have any time for anything. Since that Christmas is done, New Year is done and now this is the time when people usually either relax or go back to work but, in my case, it is when the time that I relax which is why I can find the time to write this blog post. There are a lot of things that I would like to share on several different topics. 1-2019 Snippets So, let me start off with some of topics that I would like to share and to give you something to talk about by leaving comments…
As the clock in eastern time, Eastern Standard Time has ticked into midnight and the new day on 7th of January begins is the day of a birthday to the best mother in the world that I call mine! So, this blog post is dedicated to my mother and my best friend in the world. Happy 56th Birthday, mom! Happy 56th Birthday, Mom There is nothing better out there on this universe than having you as my mother which I am very blessed to have you as my mother. I wouldn’t know what to do if this universe didn’t have you, without you, I would be a complete loss and unhappy. You being here on this earth brings nothing but happiness and love that I absorb every day and every night. I am very thankful for everything that you have done for me, there is only one thing that is priceless and the most valuable to me is to have your love which is the very reason that I am motivated to live for. You are the very best mother that I have ever come across, only that a mother I am very blessed to have and nothing that makes me happier than to call you my mother. With me and you together on this earth as a mother and…
I know I haven’t been able to write a blog for a very long time but I would never be absent to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope that every one of you have a great Christmas today and a very happy new year. Please be safe, if you are planning on to drink then please find someone else who can drive you and not drunk because your safety and others are very important! I will try to write a blog post about my Christmas and what I have gotten in a few days but for the time being I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Truly yours,Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan.
No long time see here, I know I haven’t written a blog post in a very long time, specifically about 2 and half months to three months as the last time I have made a blog post were in April. I know I made a blog post last week but that doesn’t really count it because that was only a very short blog post to inform you all that I was sorry for not being able to write anything for that long due to health reasons and I am still dealing with that but I felt that where I have not written anything for that long that I should do something about it so I am doing something about it here. As for my health issues, I still won’t share any details because it is private matters but I can say that it is something to stop me from writing and still is but I have an idea that I should just write a few sentences and whatnot then take a break so not to put too much pressure on myself. Nonetheless, there are a few or maybe a lot of things that I would like to share with all of you and I hope that all of you will enjoy the new snippets article that I am writing today…
No long time see! I know I haven’t written anything in several months, I apologize for that but for reasons that I haven’t been able to write anything is because I am dealing with health issues which I rather not to share details about it but I wanted to write this blog post to let you all know that I am still around and I am still adding notes to the list that I need to write about or share my opinion on. I am still dealing with the issues at hand, I will try to see if I can at least write something once in a while and not keeping you all in the dark for too long. I know several months are long time but I ask that you to bear with me, eventually I will have something done and I just need the time or have the energy to do so. As always, I am still active on social media such as Twitter because it allows a sweet and short post so not to consume too much of my energy which I barely have these days. Please do still subscribe to JoshiesWorld blog and be sure to follow me on social media. I thank you so much for your patience, they are greatly appreciated and I promise…
Two days ago, there was a video that caught my attention through the news feed on Facebook, in that video it was an American Sign Language lesson in profanity by Nyle DiMarco and for past these two days since that video caught my attention I have kept my eyes on the commentary where the Deaf community would share their opinion on the video of Nyle DiMarco’s American Sign Language lesson in profanity. While there are a lot of people who have shared their views about it and I have not. I never left a comment, tweet or wrote a wall post on Facebook because at that time I had to think hard because I admit that at that time I was baffled – too baffled to think of what to say I guess. So, now that two days have passed or three, I decided that I should just go ahead and share my opinion on what Nyle DiMarco did in the video where he teach profanity using our native language which is American Sign Language. Please note that I am not speaking for everybody, this is only based on my opinion and my thought so if you are curious what are their thoughts you are more than welcome to ask them or to look for that video on Facebook. It…
