My feet are not my feet. When I was a child two aliens from outer space came to earth and gnawed off my real feet with sharp and bloody teeth. They then took the form of my real feet and attached themselves to my body, controlling my mind by means of a chemical agent they released directly into my bloodstream. They are extremely cold to the touch. They live by attaching themselves to the bodies of others they sleep with and sucking out the heat from their bodies until they freeze to death. Sometimes they just take all the blankets.
About Me
- JRS
- ....WHO ARE YOU? I'm a writer from New York who's been a social worker, actor, dancer, teacher, and lately, a PhD student ....WHAT IS CRITICAL DEAF THEORY? Critical theory encourages us to reflect on and critique society, to look both inwards and outwards. I became interested early on in exploring one aspect of my identity, being Deaf. Thus, I tend to look at the world–both "theirs" and "ours" from a critical perspective. ....WHAT KINDS OF THINGS DO YOU WRITE? For me, writing is something I'm learning to do both in ASL and in English. In the past two years it's mostly been papers and dissertations, with bits of "juicy stuff" trapped within. I write nonfiction about Education and the Deaf Community from a historicist Deaf perspective. I also write fiction... and often it's about Deaf people.
