As a deaf person, having a group tapas dinner with the in laws is very frustrating. It only occurred to them to ask me what I wanted when the waiter was standing right there. After they already decided on all of the shared plates. Most of which I had no interest in. People, please be inclusive.

I’m pretty much off X but I may just venture a visit to see the whining and moaning about wokeness after today’s ads.
