Why someone ‘not minding’ isn’t a reason to ignore their needs, or take advantage of them in any way.

Three thoughts on #WalzVanceDebate:
1. #JDVance sets off all of my alarm bells. Every instinct of my body screams "PREDATOR!" in response to that man. Smarmy. Oily. I do not believe a single word that came out of his mouth tonight.
2. Vance WOULD NOT say that #DonaldTrump lost the 2020 election. He WOULD NOT say that he, Vance, would accept the 2024 election results if the GOP loses.
3. Walz consistently called Vance "Mr. Senator."
Vance consistently called Walz "Tim." #Microaggression

This line in the “the morning” newsletter was unnecessary and inflammatory.
Camera person just zoomed out briefly to show another signer among press who seems to be signing to the signer who's supposed to be signing to the TV audience, then zoomed back in, excluding both.
This goes beyond #microaggression: it's publicly disparaging & trivializing the needs of the #deaf & borders on #abuse.
Maybe camera person/producer deems it blah blah, but that's for the viewer to determine. Otherwise, why even bother to cover it.
More #media arrogance.
When I meet kids with unfamiliar names, I have them repeat it carefully, then pronounce it until I get it right. Then I always say something positive about it, like "That's so beautiful!" or "That's such a cool name!" The way kids light up when I say it is heartbreaking. I know they have gone through years of people saying their names wrong and perhaps asking if they have a nickname (or not even asking, just doing it). I do it for them, and I do it for Past Me.
When you're a #POC #migrant cooking laksa for a large community event and a white council health inspector on a power trip decides to take apart your recipe and question you about *every single* minute step of your process because he is 'concerned about the preparation'... 
(Was asked to elaborate on how I intend to blanch beansprouts, among other ridiculous things 
)
So you send back a point by point response, quoting FSANZ, holding temps and sanitising procedures, while also letting him know that you are a professional chef and have all the required food safety supervisor certifications.
You might say this isn't about colour...
But oh trust me. It is.
