This is a sample response to help keep everyone engaged on the same book and chapters. ⚠️ Spoilers may appear in the prompts, so please be sure to read the chapters first before responding.

Hello and welcome! We’re so excited to have you join The Deaf Ink Society, a book club dedicated to celebrating deaf authors, deaf history, and deaf culture. Here’s how it works: - As you level up, you will gain access to other books and discussion groups. - Each book comes with author background, notes, and insights to help you understand the story behind the story. - We’ll dive into thoughtful discussions, reviews, and reflections, challenging our perceptions and exploring deaf culture from a deaf perspective. Whether you’re here to read, learn, or engage in lively discussions, this is a space to connect, share, and grow as a community passionate about deaf voices and stories. Get ready to discover, reflect, and rethink—one book at a time!

As you read each book, you’ll find response prompts designed to spark conversation and reflection. To join the discussion, select the title of the book in the drop-down: 1. Respond to the Prompts: Check the prompts for the chapters you’re reading and share your thoughts. Be honest—there are no wrong answers! 2. Engage with Others: Read what others have shared and reply with your own thoughts, questions, or reflections. Together, we can create a vibrant community where everyone learns from each other. 3. Stay Active: Aim to post at least once a week. The more you engage, the richer the conversation—and the more points you earn toward unlocking future books. 4. Respect Everyone: Keep comments respectful and constructive, even when you have a different perspective. Our community thrives on diverse voices and thoughtful discussion.
