I did not think I’d be making a blind joke at the #SXSWInnovationAwards2024. Receiving this award from @sxsw was validating in so many ways and only reinvigorates me to keep fighting for #accessibility. #SXSW2024 #SXSW #ScibeThis #InnovationAwards #AltText #Blind #Award

When people online accuse me of faking my blindness, all they’re really doing is telling on themselves and the moral judgements they fail to make.

First Microsoft absolutely destroyed the accessibility of the Outlook calendar, forcing most Blind people to switch to a different alternative. Now that I’ve gotten comfortable with Google Calendar, looks like they’re on a mission to do the same as MS. Can we not right now 😅💀

Behind every great movement is a group of individuals committed to building it the right way. Today we’re proud to introduce the inaugural Board of Directors for USA Esports. These are leaders with unique backgrounds coming together to help shape the future of esports in the United States. Their experience and guidance will help ensure that the next generation of American esports talent have the opportunities they deserve.

Little late to this, but super excited to be taking part in this movement! I was thrilled when they reached out in hopes to have someone with knowledge about game accessibility. It's been a dream of mine to help make esports more inclusive and I'm excited to see where this goes!
The next era of American esports starts here.

I have been MIA from social media recently for many reasons, but primarily because Dixie actually had to have surgery :(. She’s doing well so far, but she had to have four teeth removed. It was honestly pretty hard seeing her distressed after the surgery,

but she also was reacting horribly to the antibiotics and had a really upset stomach. Over a grand and ruined rug later, she’s finally feeling better. I have a couple update videos on my platforms, but yeah, that’s what has been going on for the most part on my end 😅

The legal landscape for game accessibility has changed. GPSR requires safety, EAA requires accessible comms & ecommerce. The deadlines are upon us, but many devs remain unaware. If you don't know about these laws yet, you need to! Info: igda-gasig.org/what-and-why/… #gamedev #indiedev

Wow, this takes the cake for one of the most unhinged comments I’ve ever received! And no this is not a challenge to leave an even more unhinged one lol.

Here's the video of me unboxing the #Switch2! This is the first time I've opened a #Nintendo console on launch day and it was a blast to do it on stream. I'll be uploading a separate video detailing the setup experience for #blind gamers. youtu.be/wD4vEUeFDtY #accessibility

I’ll be uploading the edited VOD of me and my other blind friend unboxing the #Switch2 and expect to have it up by Friday morning, along with the switch 2 setup video soon after :). Excited to get some more content up on Eye Play Blind!

A great story about a man who’s ten times the advocate I could ever hope to be. @ross_minor is a great consultant and any studio would be lucky to work with him. #Accessibility #GameDev

Smiling from ear to ear. This is truly such a well-written article and it is an absolute honor! All I can say is that this is so validating and thank you to the people who helped me get to where I am. I also loved the beginning of the article lol! #Blind #GameDev #Accessibility

Biggest news of the many game accessibility stories that hit today - Xbox becomes the first company to go live with the Accessible Games Initiative storefront tags! #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility
5 years... I've been working on the Accessible Games Initiative tags for 5 years. When it launched at #GDC2025 it felt surreal. But today it feels... indescribable. These tags are now available on Xbox.com, the Xbox Console Store, and more. #a11y
