It's an important day for me and for The Blind Side because I need to share my heart with this wonderful audience and we have some things to tell you about the future of @195theglobelive. Listen at 9 PM ET: https://t.co/TGzmCzR6ZR #GlobeOnAir
Usually the jokes on this account are painful to read let alone RT, hence "dad jokes." Which BTW is what makes them awesome! But this is real and a great reminder to us all.
In the last hour of the @195theglobelive radiothon and we're at $1000 even for @makeawish. We've set an ambitious goal, $1195. Only you can get us there. Let's do it! https://t.co/6s0ATQtDnv

Listening to the fascinating interview with @Riccobono on @MosenAtLarge. Grateful to both for addressing the major issues facing NFB, @JonathanMosen asking the hard questions and Pres Riccobono providing direct answers. Transparency is refreshing; definitely a good listen.
So I think this is a first in my radio career... a concert is being streamed live on our station! @SirRiker2020 & @JaneenLea are seeing @bigtimerush in #Denver and inviting us to the show! Tune in now on @195theglobelive! https://t.co/TGzmCzQzaj, @tunein or Alexa.
Eventful and thought-provoking Blind Side coming up at 9 PM ET! Talking about the #NFB resolution on #ConsentCulture, #AudioDescription & visual introduction. Join us on @195theglobelive! https://t.co/TGzmCzQzaj #GlobeOnAir
ICYMI, Terry Suarez, @JaneenLea, @SirRiker2020 and I started recapping #NFB22 and #ACB22 last week. We'll continue tonight with a little help from our friends (all of you) starting at 9 PM ET on @195theglobe! https://t.co/TGzmCzQzaj #GlobeOnAir
Big announcement! Starting tonight, The Blind Side will begin at a new time: 9 PM Eastern! This will allow for better consistency with less stress for everyone involved, and hopefully open us up to a new audience in other time zones. Join us tonight for more convention recap!
I see your point and will defer to your experience on this. On the surface, it seems that consent would be straightforward and logical. But at least the official statement could be helpful, e.g. the Code of Conduct. #NFB22
One more thought: the resolution said that @nfb_voice is the strongest supporter of "bodily autonomy for the blind." I agree. But bodily autonomy as I understand it is as important to blind people as it is to sighted people... right? #NFB22
π§΅ I'm going to ask a question, and it's mostly because I don't have enough experience to know the answer. Do we really need a resolution explaining & supporting the concept of consent? To be clear, I strongly support it. I just wonder if there's anything new about it. #NFB22
Also, the resolution struck me as a bit jargony. "Consent language?" "Bodily autonomy?" I wonder how many in our community who don't work in this field know what those mean. #NFB22
@SirRiker2020 Or do you support virtual voting as a permanent policy, which would require a Constitutional amendment? I have mixed feelings about this for another day, but I'm interested in gauging others' thoughts. #NFB22
I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable coming in-person yet, but I understand & thank you for approaching it as your personal choice. The same risk taken here could be taken at any event. #NFB22
As a person who is #HighRiskCovid, I do not plan to attend an NFB convention in-person until I can truly be assured that I am not very likely putting my life on the line. #NFB22
@SirRiker2020 I agree that, especially in light of what I'm seeing here, there could have been justification to bring back the rules of engagement used at the virtual conventions & allow virtual voting. Question, though: At what point is it OK to bring voting rules back to what they were?
Itβs movie night at #NFB22. Join us for an advanced screening of the film Surpassing Sight this evening at 5:30. Please note the location change! Itβs at the Prytania Theatre - Canal Place.
