Finally getting around to an #intro post. I'm a first gen US born Portuguese (#Azores) binational, with Brazilian husband (Portuguese language FTW). Queer (he/they) #Leftist from the #SFBayArea.
Using a late-in-life CS degree to work as a (hearing) #SignLanguage #Interpreter specialized in #Tech interpreting. Former interpreter coordinator for #DeafCon.
I pretend to understand academic #Linguistics research, #Conlang enthusiast, and former #Handbell ringer. Have dabbled in the #FiberArts and enjoy games of the #VideoGames and #BoardGames variety.
Hashtag dump: #ASL, #DeafCon, #Defcon, #Terp, #Crochet, #Handbells, #TechTerp, #Deaf, #ASLInterpreter, #SignLanguageInterpreter

This morning I have on my #grandmother of a #deaf pre-teen hat. We live in a small town in north central #WashingtonState and my grandson needs an #asl interpreter. The school claims they cannot find anyone that will move here even though it’s obvious that #remoteWorkers are moving here in droves. It’s a beautiful area with a strong #community of #organic #farmers even though politics run red. Reaching out to broaden the search for an #ASLinterpreter
