Such a fab evening…excited for the rest of the weekend! 😁
First evening of mingling, nice to meet our interpreters, interpreter shadows, some of our volunteers and of course the first wave of delegates. Lots of familiar faces and some new ones too.

Are you an interpreter working between signed and spoken languages? Interested in joining our online MSc Advancing Practice in Signed/Spoken Language interpreting or perhaps studying for a single module? Find out more at our next Online Open Day, 5 May bit.ly/3IYoVxD
“I’m tryna be nice”…this video is so relatable. Every woman you know can relate to this, it’s horrible and scary. Don’t be that guy.

Haha! Enjoy?! Can someone tell Northern Rail that just because restrictions were lifted that didn’t mean they needed to cut carriages & therefore the option to social distance. Most people don’t care about free audiobooks & music, they’d just like space & a seat.Rant over.Mostly.
Heading to work by train today? Make the most of your trip by enjoying free audiobooks, music streaming and Mindfulness by visiting nationalrail.co.uk/commuter #LetsGetBackOnTrack #GoDoYourThing

"People have to be the core of interpreting. Interpreting is people skills with language attached. It exists because of and for people." @integlangsbiz #efsli2021
I’ve not watched this yet but some interesting points raised here…
#CODA will probably be successful. Hearing people will like it. Success opens doors for deaf people. That's good. But there are also many deeply harmful messages in this movie. Does the likely success cancel that out? 1/

What is the point of @sainsburys giving me a 1 hour delivery slot from the 4 hour one I booked if they’re going to arrive an hour early anyway then cancel my order ‘cos I didn’t get to the phone in time for them to tell me. Customer services can’t do anything but book in tomorrow

An NRCPD registered sign language interpreter being fully qualified does not necessarily mean that they have the skills to work in all domains. They should only accept assignments in domains that they have the skills and experience to practise in. #SafeToPractise

Interpreter life: Watching medical dramas where everyone is sat waiting and “the interpreter is on their way” and imagining a whole backstory where the interpreter has been sent to the wrong department and given the wrong time and no one seems able to find the correct information
