Moments like this are why it's vital to educate everyone, especially those with platforms like @bbcquestiontime, that sight is a spectrum. People with the same eye condition can have different experiences. For some, wearing eye shields might be due to sensitivity to light.

Hélène Cixous: “I owe some of the most fantastical hallucinatory experiences of my childhood to my extreme nearsightedness: vanishing streets, substitutions, metaphorization and metonymization of the world and of people.” (in an interview collected in Rootprints, tr. Prenowitz)
Happy #RareDiseaseDay! 😎 Having the rare visual impairment #Aniridia hasn't stopped me living a happy, fulfilled, successful life. In fact, I'm actually a support worker for a good friend who has even more severe sight loss than me. We make a great team! welleyenever.com/2024/02/16/the…
I spoke with @aisling_murph_ about vision loss on television, writing for @CTV’s Sight Unseen, and getting the details right. Appreciate the @TorontoStar for taking the time and @WGCtweet for highlighting the article.

I’ve been pushing Govt to appoint new Minister for Disabled People - shocked to learn they're scrapping it. Disabled people need their *own* Minister to address challenges, discrimination & to champion their rights. Shocking downgrade of representation & at time of such hardship.
🚨IT’S A MOTHERF**KING PLEASURE ON TOUR 🚨 We’re so excited to announce that hot off the back of our sold-out Edinburgh fringe run, we’re going on a UK tour! 📸 Guy Sanders
"In recent years, there’s been an explosion of writing by blind and other disabled people." Andrew Leland (@quailty) on a year in reading. themillions.com/2023/12/a-year…

Will people stop yelling at me for comparing ADHD and blindness and also stop telling me I should try living as a blind person to see how hard that is. I am blind. I also have ADHD. The point is that the ADHD is harder for me personally than the blindness.
I personally think ADHD is way more disabling than blindness, but almost nobody believes me when I say it. Generally blindness can be worked around, ADHD is my brain absolutely refusing to do what I need it to. I hate it.
Should event planners ask attendees to close their eyes, walk around the hotel for an hour, and imagine what it’s like being blind? No, and this article explains why disability simulation exercises are problematic. meetings.skift.com/accessibility-…
Devastated by the loss of @NotJstABlindGuy. Regretfully we grew apart, but it was a joy to watch his life flourish from afar. He was always fiercely passionate about disability rights and not afraid to stand up for us. But more than anything I'll remember his warmth and wit.
It is impossible to express the loss of such a friend as @NotJstABlindGuy I will miss the snort laughs from reading his quick witty replies. I will miss how he uplifted our community & empowered those experiencing sight loss. Goodbye to my brave, kind & hilarious pal Jurgen.
RIP to my beautiful friend, activist, fellow content creator & all round lovely person @NotJstABlindGuy. Your ray of light is still shining wherever you are. Here’s to a true friend who totally got me and my disability. I promise you I will never stop fighting for our equality ❤️
@MrPepperTeacher @WONSpod @HayesKentCC @MitrePlayers I'm thoroughly enjoying this episode, as I have all the others. Thanks for a great podcast with interesting guests.

My article 40 years as a Guide Dog Owner is currently up on the BBC website. Here is a link. bbc.com/news/uk-scotla…
@WONSpod Ah, thanks! I had only heard of it, but reading about it makes me excited to check it out…
@DeeBeeFree @juan_c_alcazar @quailty @DrMLGodin @WONSpod Cheers. I’ll be updating it over the next week or two. I have links to add to interviews I did with RNIB Radio etc. Also due soon is a short video feature about my work commissioned by a photography gallery here in Scotland.
@WONSpod Such a pleasure to speak with you, David! I can't believe I forgot to tell you that my book was originally called Seeing and Not Seeing…
Was excited when @DeeBeeFree booked this guest! Together they assess how ancient myths + the Bible portray blindness. Also: growing up around hippies in San Francisco; desirability as a partially-sighted person; coming to understand blindness not as hindrance but as an artform.
