The Tree Of Life, The Fruit Of Knowledge, Of Good & Evil
Posted: May 6th, 2008, 1:20pm BST by Tony
The notion that “…..deafness restricts and thins out the supply of new ideas and experience on which the novelist depends to create his fictions…….” is still spinning me out. I’ve read and heard many ignorant [willfully and otherwise] things about deafness in my time, but this one really rankles, in that it encapsulates what hearies really believe to be the defining point of deafness: it’s limitation. A definition that is derived from outside observation, which becomes internalised, and it crystallises into a homem do saco when a hearing person starts to lose their hearing. The angst that a person feels, when being disconnected from a familiar world is very real. It is made all the more worrying, because ... -

My name is Tony Nicholas, and some of you may know me as the ratbag from All The Young Dudes. The Devil’s Playground has been some time coming, and I finally got my act together to start it.

If you read, All The Young Dudes, then you will know that I am Deaf. I have set up this blog to write and talk about all things pertaining to the arts. Specifically, writing, producing, directing, music, theatre, literature, and the visual arts. The intention behind this blog is to focus on the arts, and not be ... -
LYRICS: DEAFIES THEY SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME
Posted: March 30th, 2008, 1:33pm BST by Tony
They’re gonna clean up your genes Passing the HFEB To try and nomalise you Because they seethe in their sleep And keep an eye on you, So they Can stop your hands saying the things you do The implants are not enough They always wear that smirk Cause they got methods of making you hear They’re gonna rip off your hands, Your aspirations to shred Another cog in the nomalisation machine They said all Deafies scare the living shit out of me They could care less as long as they make them all hear So wave your hands or strike a violent pose Maybe they’ll leave you ... -
