Real facts but I'm insanely jealous of the Deaf community for having a community and a culture
I fully understand that blind people don't share a language or anything but I've literally never met another blind person irl and it's super isolating #actuallyBlind #legallyBlind

Ever just. Get to ballet an hour early

Happy halloween!

People saying they're "legally blind without their glasses" fills me with primal rage

Today on I wish I learned braille and whatever the hell they use for tactile graphing: I have math tomorrow and my eyes are burning in anticipation for the 90 minutes of max zoomed computer screen I can barely read

@xivixiva Actually, a red tipped cane and a full white cane both just mean blind! A red and white STRIPED cane is the symbol for deafblindness

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

I'm excited about getting a new cane can you tell by my retweets

[Molly Watt Trust @mollywatttrust]

Today is #WhiteCaneDay but if you see white cane with red stripes be aware the user is #deafblind #UsherSyndrome pls RT

@_LunarPrincess Legally blind people often have some vision! Check out https://t.co/NoogBBOeAe

Huge fan of using blind and low vision instead of visually impaired. There is no need to use Visually impaired when it is not a medical term, legal term or in the IDEA. it just serves to make ableism more prevalent instead of just saying blind. As a professional I will push this.

Nobody cares if you offer help. We care if you force it or grab us.

If you think representation doesn't matter, I want you to think about how every time I go on social media or use my phone in public, SOMEONE asks how I'm able to use a touch screen phone.

In 2019.

@FatElvis04 Direct translation: my vision is, by definition, below a certain acuity or visual field at best correction, except minus the very important BEST CORRECTION part
You're right, ableds ARE weird

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

I really think there should be more awareness about blindness in the public. More tv characters or something. I have to explain to every person I meet at least twice that no, I cannot get glasses or surgery, otherwise I wouldn't say blind, and yes, I can see some close things.

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

People really can't comprehend that 94% of legally blind people have some vision huh #actuallyblind

[carys @blindandb0ujee]

As someone living with a visual impairment, one of the most insulting things I hear regularly from sighted people is the ‘I’m basically blind without my glasses!!!’ tripe. It makes my skin crawl.

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

My O&M instructor is really a quirky disney side character huh

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

I'm so good at faking being neurotypical. I really am. Sometimes, though, I'd rather someone communicate the way that's natural for me instead of the other way around #ActuallyAutistic

[☆ isaac ☆ @blindballetboy]

You know, I really wish sighted people with glasses and contacts would get out of the blind tags ngl
