Cats Murder, Gally, Deaf vs Hearing This is extreme and deeply disturbing. It involves the murder of cats, and it made me feel physically sick. I am a High Priestess. I am Pagan/Wiccan. In my belief, cats are sacred beings. They are guardians. They originate from ancient Egypt, where cats were honored and protected. My favorite breed is the Egyptian Mau — tiger-patterned cats — but I love all cats, including black cats. Cats are known protectors of humans. They detect things we cannot perceive.

I am against deaf with a big capital letter by Thomas Dunn I want to explain the real issue with comparing “strong Deaf culture” and “weak Deaf culture” using “D” and “d.” Traditionally, “D” = strong Deaf (Deaf schools, full community identity, names attached to it), while “d” = mainstreamed, language-deprived, isolated, never exposed to Deaf people. I am strongly against this “big D vs. small d” idea. Why? Because labels harm more than they help. People assume “D” Deaf have more opportunities a

What is their true motive? Is this about genuine deaf empowerment, or is it about pushing Kappa Gamma's vision of Deaf Power?
