In this vlog, Raychelle discusses two different types of dreadlocks, the curly-natural way and the straight-artifical way. She had a dreadperm, done by Hair Police in Minneapolis (www.hairpolice.com). She also disputes some nasty and horrendous myths about people with dreds!

Deaf Cats: Meet Ava!
In this vlog, Raychelle talks about deaf cats in general and the parallels in paternalism between deaf people and deaf cats. She then shares some experiences with her deaf cat, Ava and some video clips of Ava.
How do you get the attention of a deaf cat? Just like you do deaf people! Vibrations (from tapping floor, or a nearby object); Breeze (from flapping arm, newspaper, etc); Changing Lights/Shadows (from flashing lights, or blocking/unblocking the stream of sun/light); and of course by Touch (tapping, petting gently). Here are some urls if you'd like to investigate further. Do share your tips on how to "teach" Ava not to claw up furniture! :)

Please pay no heed to my questionable taste in furniture and decorations... after all I am a poor college student :)
