Well worth a read.
True Biz by Sara Nović is about growing up as a teenager. The special thing about Nović's book is that she follows deaf teenagers through this difficult stage of their lives. She sensitively sheds light on the challenges that arise in a society that at best ignores you and at worst wants to get rid of you. More than is already the case as a young person.

Klartext von Sara Nović handelt vom Erwachsenwerden als Teenager. Das Besondere an Novićs Buch ist, dass sie gehörlosen Teenagern in diesem schwierigen Lebensabschnitt folgt. Einfühlsam beleuchtet sie die Herausforderungen, die in einer Gesellschaft hinzukommen, die einen im besten Fall ignoriert und im schlimmsten Fall loswerden möchte. Mehr als es als Jungendliche*r sowieso schon der Fall ist.

From the article: "For years, White House press conferences included sign language interpreters for the deaf.
"No longer. Interpreters have been noticeably absent from Trump administration press briefings, advocacy groups say. Gone, too, are the American Sign Language interpretations that used to appear on the White House’s YouTube channel. A White House webpage on accessibility, whitehouse.gov/accessibility, has also ceased working.
"From halting diversity programs that benefit people with disabilities to staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Trump administration has taken a slew of actions that harm those with impairments or chronic health conditions. Decades of hard-fought gains risk being undone by cuts to federal programs, freezes on research funding, and a White House ban on practices that support diversity."

The CDC team that helped states improve infant hearing screening is gone.
Families of deaf and hard-of-hearing babies have lost vital public health support.

#TorontoTheatre The Little Prince, without spoken language.
"Step into a world of wonder with The Little Prince, a groundbreaking Deaf-led adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved tale. This visually stunning production reimagines the classic story through the artistry of Visual Vernacular (VV), American Sign Language (ASL), vertical dance, and immersive projection design, offering an experience that transcends spoken language and speaks directly to the heart."

Sounds really cool! Passe Muraille is Toronto's French theatre.
