ater<p>Dang. I just got my first hate mail since I was, like, in high school. I've also gotten a lot of (rather more polite) questions about it so I figured I'd make a post about it so I can pin it to my profile.</p><p>I am a <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> slash <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/lowVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lowVision</span></a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/VisualArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VisualArtist</span></a>. I have been doing art for as long as I have been very slowly going blind, which is over half my life. As for my abilities (or disability): I wear increasingly thick glasses that don't do much for me beyond the very close up (I use my phone's camera to look for things, for example), and have numerous blind spots on top of it. This isn't like what you might expect; it's not black or grey spots. My brain fills it in with what it thinks ought to be there (as does yours), and it does a really terrible job of it. I am incapable of seeing straight lines. I stopped driving a few years ago when I noticed I had a blind spot the size of a car in the other lane - cars would literally just blink out of existence, then back again half a second later. It was a scary realization. My spouse has recently convinced me I need a cane if for no other reason than so I stop running into people in public.</p><p>As an artist, I mostly do <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watercolor</span></a> now because I can see my subject (a picture on my phone) and my canvas up close. Mostly I paint bugs because I studied <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a> so I understand the anatomy that I am working with. I started out as a photographer, which I don't do much of anymore because I can't see through a view finder. What I have is degenerative, so I will continue losing pieces of my vision for the rest of my life. I will probably get more into linocuts and sculpture in a few years as watercolor becomes less an option.</p><p>I also write, quite often about blind characters! I am 100% self-published, which means they're not perfect, which I think just adds to their charm.</p>

Sarah Matthews<p>this sounds so cool for all those in the US! The quest to create the most accessible museum in the world - The Dot Experience, coming in 2026 | “‘One reason most museums maintain a strict ‘do not touch’ policy is to preserve artifacts; frequent handling accelerates wear and degradation.

Sarah Matthews<p>The <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Braille200" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Braille200</span></a> event on Tues evening at the British Library was brilliant - to have so many Braille enthusiasts together is very rare, and there was a relaxed atmosphere of celebration; with wine, canapes and lovely background music. Braille doesn’t get this type of VIP treatment very often! The message that I took away from the engaging panel event was very much that Braille is part of the toolkit for a blind person, no one is expecting you to use it exclusively - when your hands are tired, use audio and when audio gets overwhelming, use your hands. The fact is that some tasks lend themselves better to one or the other. It’s all personal choice.</p><p>I also enjoyed looking at some items from the library archive, including a handmade Braille book by Stevie Ronnie with beautiful binding and a children’s Braille book, by Polly Edman, that had tactile thread winding across the pages to make it interactive.<br>I also had fun trying out the Dot Pad again and got my hands on the Monarch too (they both display graphics as well as being multi line Braille displays) - way too expensive, but hey, a girl can dream! Tech like this represents the future so fabulously, showing that Braille is both a reading and writing medium, but now also has the potential to help blind people understand graphics and charts more easily and allow them to be creative themselves.<br>I bumped into several people I know which was lovely and I’m sure there were plenty of others there that I didn’t find, the joys of trying to socialise when totally blind!<br>There were about 230 guests and it felt so special to be able to attend this event, one of the many events being organised to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Braille.<br>I’m sure there’ll be many podcasts coming out from the RNIB about the event but the link below gives a taster, with many interviews recorded on the night:</p><p><a href="https://embeds.audioboom.com/playlists/4635637/embed?link_color=55ACEE&source=twitter_card&utm_content=card&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&v=202301" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">embeds.audioboom.com/playlists</span><span class="invisible">/4635637/embed?link_color=55ACEE&source=twitter_card&utm_content=card&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&v=202301</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/PartiallySighted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PartiallySighted</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/LowVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowVision</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Deafblind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deafblind</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Braille</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a></p>
Fox in the Shell 💜🐾🦊<p>So questions for <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Edgucaters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edgucaters</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a>, <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> staff and anyone in the <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> field as a whole.</p><p>I am a university student who originally planned to double major in computer science and elementary education, but I’ve recently faced some concerns that I’d like to address.</p><p>I’ve been told that pursuing a teaching certification might not be advisable because schools may be reluctant to hire a teacher with low vision, who is mostly blind, to manage a classroom of thirty or more students. This has been quite upsetting.</p><p>My dream was to work with elementary students, focusing on <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/STEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>STEM</span></a> subjects and teaching technology-related topics like understanding tech, its role in the world, and the basics of programming. Now, I find myself uncertain about what path to take.</p><p>Working with kids, especially those in elementary school, is my biggest passion, even more than tech or music. It’s something that would truly fulfill me. Since I can’t have kids myself, guiding and teaching young learners is the next best thing. It’s a career I’m committed to and want to excel in.</p><p>Being advised not to pursue a teaching certification and to focus solely on computer science has been quite discouraging. I’ve been told to study elementary education as a secondary focus and combine it with my computer science studies. This might involve developing educational systems for kids, but it would likely mean limited direct interaction, possibly just during product testing, which isn’t enough for me.</p><p>So, I have a few questions:</p><p>1. Are there any educators with <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Blindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blindness</span></a> or <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/LowVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowVision</span></a> challenges working with elementary students? If so, in what capacity do you work with them?<br>2. How has your disability affected your effectiveness in the field?<br>3. What challenges did you face in getting certified and qualified, and how did you overcome them?<br>4. What obstacles have you encountered in the classroom and with colleagues, and how have you addressed them?</p><p>If these questions don’t apply, what advice can you offer me in pursuing my goal of working with children? While tech is a focus, I’m open to being flexible, as long as it’s an area I’m confident in.</p><p>Finally, if teaching isn’t possible for me, what other career paths would you suggest that align with my goals?</p><p>I’d really appreciate any support <br>and engagement in this discussion.</p><p>Boosts welcomed and appreciated.</p><p><a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/BlindEducators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlindEducators</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teachers</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/AskMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/VocationalAdvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VocationalAdvice</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/University" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>University</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/TeacherLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeacherLife</span></a> <a href="https://fwoof.space/tags/OvercomingAbleism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OvercomingAbleism</span></a></p>
