Me, my wife, and our blind son sharing our loves, lives, and laughs. #BrailleLife #Autism #Inclusion #Accessibility #Technology #SeptoOpticDysplasia

Just because something is translated in Braille doesn't mean that it's automatically accessible. #braillelife #inclusionmatters

Registration for the Braille Readers Are Leaders contest will open Friday, Nov. 1. The contest, with categories for children and adults, is Dec. 1 through Jan. 18. Entry details and resources for #Braille books are available now. #BrailleIsLiteracy https://t.co/Ghz0Ejp1lQ

On #InternationalLiteracyDay it is important to know that not all languages have established #Braille codes...yet. This includes North America. Learn about the development of Braille codes for Native American and First Nations languages. https://t.co/cb79SsA37E

[American Action Fund @AAF_1919]

It’s #InternationalLiteracyDay. Each year we provide free #Braille books to blind children across America because #BrailleIsLiteracy. The Braille files from previous years are still available to share.

It’s time to push harder for the entertainment industry to #LetUsPlayUs – today we will work towards that with this online protest against @CWInTheDark
#RepresentationMatter #MeetWithUs

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Our social media protest tomorrow will demonstrate the need to stop the airing of @CWInTheDark with conversations on the history of blindness in the media, stories from blind actors, and ideas for change. Here's a glimpse at some stories. #LetUsPlayUs https://t.co/vM1iNgsllA

[2Moms and The T @2MomsAndT]

Our son is learning about Shakespeare & how women weren’t allowed to play women roles. He was astonished. I look forward to his future children being astonished that there once was a time that blind actors weren’t allowed to play blind roles. #LetUsPlayUs #RepresentationMatters

[Alice Wong 王美華 @SFdirewolf]

🤷🏻‍♀️ #InTheDark producers on decision NOT to cast a blind actor in lead role:

"Weinstock explained that part of the reason they loved Mattfield for the role was her commitment to accurately portraying a blind person."

@CWInTheDark Just another struggling excuse of using a sighted actor in a blind character role. #LetUsPlayUs #RepresentationMatters

[2Moms and The T @2MomsAndT]

@TheCW My questions are more around why real representation isn’t presented on your shows? Where can we find those answers? #InTheDark #LetUsPlayUs #RepresentationMatters

[2Moms and The T @2MomsAndT]

@CWInTheDark @TheCW Like casting isn’t important. #NoFsGiven about your excuses #LetUsPlayUs #RepresentationMatters

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

We demand that @TheCW and @RedHourFilms re-shoot episodes of #InTheDark with a blind actress in the leading role. There are blind actors looking for work, and no sighted actor can bring the same authenticity to a blind character. #LetUsPlayUs #RepresentationMatters

[National Federation of the Blind @NFB_voice]

Regarding casting of a sighted actress as a #blind character in the @CBSTvStudios series #InTheDark, @Riccobono, "The shameful history of Hollywood defining us without our participation ends now." #LetUsPlayUs #AuthenticCasting #RepresentationMatters https://t.co/bMOdutEfcM

Did you know @Respawn ‘s logo is a braille “r”?! #iteachbraille My Braille teaching, gamer heart is so happy.

Maybe only come running over if someone is falling into an abyss?

*T walking to the bus stop
Well-meaning woman: Do you need help?
T: No
Woman: ok, we were worried about you. Are you sure?
T: Yes, I’m fine.

Apparently, a teenager walking in their neighborhood is alarming. 🤔 #Bye Hint: it shouldn’t be. #DontOverExtendHelp

Stages of coffee:
1st cup: Ugh, morning
2nd cup: This day is amazing!
5th cup: I KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BRIEFCASE IN PULP FICTION

[Holly @lifeofablindgrl]

Being blind doesn’t mean that I can’t use a phone! I use a feature called VoiceOver which reads out loud what’s on the screen. I can keep in contact with family and friends, check train times, read and respond to emails, use social media and so much more! #BlindPeopleUsePhones

[2Moms and The T @2MomsAndT]

Does an audio book count for today? #WorldReadAloudDay

[2Moms and The T @2MomsAndT]

We’ve been spending our evenings playing Trivia Hero together as a family #Alexa

@NFBofNashville @NFB_voice Thank you! Funny, we actually met in Nashville! Live in Maryland now though. We are like the Brady bunch of cat ladies because we both brought two to the relationship LOL
