Seriously you have no idea how many assholes we deafies run into, how this is a very common experience for us all. At least, the look on their face after I told them that I’m deaf is very priceless. But, sometimes I walk away having no idea that someone yelled at me. :/
((and, yes, comic me is interrupting the comic to play pokemon go.))
A NOTE: I know shoulder tapping is not an option for some people who dislike being touched, such as those on autistic spectrum. Understandable.
Some deaf friends and I do not like to be waved in face- it can startle us and/or caused me to be disorientated, especially in a small space. I am not fond of being touched by people as well, but, growing up in deaf community, I am used to shoulder as a neutral spot and to expecting people to get my attention that way.
Basically, in small space like grocery store aisle, we’d prefer shoulder tapping. In big spaces, where it’s easy for people to get around, then waving is fine if it can be done without getting into our face. Thoughts?
This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
I’m adding to this because y’all gonna learn some shit about housing your pets.
Someone make more I love this new meme.
I know that huge homes are great for pets but also did it fucking occur to you that some people don’t have the room or money for those?
hey, guess what. those are all minimum requirements. actually, the person who added onto my post even made the bird cage still TOO small for those birds.
and if you dont have the money or the space for those pets, don’t fucking get the pet.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET IF YOU SEE THEM DOING THIS BEHAVIOR OVER TIME.
It’s called “head pressing” and it occurs in dogs and cats.
Head pressing is characterized by the compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other object for no apparent reason. This generally indicates damage to the nervous system, which may result from a number of varying causes, including prosencephalon disease (in which the forebrain and thalamusparts of the brain are damaged), or toxic poisoning.
My elder cat had head pressing as one of her symptoms when she had toxoplasmosis. Many people, dogs and cats have this, and the vast majority never get sick, but when it arises as clinical disease, it usually presents as neurological problems and brain damage.
HEAD PRESSING IS A SERIOUS SYMPTOM OF BRAIN ISSUES, DON’T IGNORE IT!
