A satirical jab at the sighted people who create technology for blind people without ever talking to us about what we need, in parity radio news form. Hear the rest at https://deepsy.net/p/bonus-episode-glass-eye-witness-news #Blind #Blindness #Disability #AssistiveTech #Parody #Satire #DeepSy
During this year's "Games for blind gamers" jam on #itchIO, a #game was submitted that tried to accurately portray a #blind protagonist. This game was developed by a developer who is not blind, but believed to have done adequate research into this. Some people did not agree and came down on them rather hard, but I saw an opportunity.
In this video I break down what was represented well, what wasn't, and we get into some really interesting #blindness and #disability topics along the way. Hopefully it might teach a thing or two :) https://youtu.be/qE81d4Pcw9E

Hey blind people, can you rethink your hate of audiobooks now? Is Listening to a Book “Cheating”? (Spoiler: Your Brain Doesn’t Think So) https://action.everylibrary.org/is_listening_to_a_book_cheating_spoiler_your_brain_doesn_t_think_so #Blind #Blindness #Ableism
PSA to other blind people, rating a Deaf Uber driver 1 star with a safety violation because of a disability clash and because you are totally blind is a very ableist thing to do.
There's texting. There are ASL classes for the blind. I took one years ago at the school for the Deaf and the Blind I attended. I have Deaf friends teach me ASL via touch.
I know ASL is a visual language, but let's not be ableist because we are blind ourselves.
