The Blind Guy who watched Star Wars

“Okay,” Kevin said. “Read it to me one more time.” He was sitting in what passed for us, our Green Room. This is a small area where on air talent and guests go to decompress, wait, and get ready to go on the Air. In a few minutes, Kevin would be going on the air to give the news. Every weekday, from 3 PM to 5 PM, our college TV station went on the air. The local cable company had their own feed…

You're blinded by what might be instead of seeing what already is.

Question: people who go blind later in life, does the sudden complete/partial darkness throw off your circadian rhythm? I know as a sighted person just working a third shift job fucked up my sleep schedule so I was curious if sudden blindness could do the same. Also, people who are born blind, is your body naturally adjusted or do you still struggle with getting to sleep?

Or am I just dumb and thinking about this too much 😂

Congratulations! You have found yourself an Oli!(1 of 2)

The human-looking one is an Olive! She might be more challenging to handle, despite being highly self-sufficient she is unable to see, and as most Olives have no fingers or toes this one has her pinky toes and fingers, the rest are literally tiny rocks. She has the average quirky, magical powers- as every Olivia is the fauna, every Olive is the flora. She can manipulate plants down to the genetic compounds making the necessary flowers with eyes to help her get a look around. She is also able to manipulate earthen things, rocks, metals, and crystals- this one finds irons and rubies the easiest out of all the minerals to “purify” and show clearly. (Maybe that’s what’s between the woven stem of that rose ring?) Although this Olive is weaker than most due to having to spend more energy in caring for others instead of herself. She’ll most likely start taking charge of as many chores as she can get to. Didn’t have a garden? Too bad- you will now, this tiny woman like being as busy as a bee and can actually sense plants as if a fellow sentient being such as you. You’ll want to be careful of plants now besides grass and weeds as this woman can hear and feel a stem break. For her, it feels like her back broke. Luckily this one is more numb to feeling what plants “feel.” She makes sure you’ll be aware of just about any to all danger nearby thanks to this little alert system. A window opened, and a bottle of water near her desired sightseeing flower will do some good. She has little to no real health needs besides that of a flower. Eating is sometimes alright though typically results in “cannibalism”(aka the small likes plants since it gives some odd satisfaction). The small white flowers acting as a way to hold up her ponytail are babies breath buds, of course with a pair of eyes to help her without causing someone to freak out upon entering to find a collection of roses or babies’ breaths full of small miscolored eyes at the center.

Can I get all my visually impaired mother fuckers around for a second!!!

SOOO I have albinism and my eye muscles are not strong enough to foccous on things this is called nastagmus. I also have astigmatism AND I’m near sited and far sited. To say the least I’m blind as fuck. As you may have suspected this means I can’t drive. Now I am very lucky because despite my plethora of ailments I can see well enough that I don’t need a cane and I’m using a normal phone right now without voice over or anything. HOWEVER anyone who CANT drive (and I mean can’t there is a difference between lacking the physical ability to preform the task and not wanting to (and I am counting anxiety as not wanting to even tho I do know that anxiety isn’t like something people just choose to do or have trust me I have that too)) will tell you not being able to drive really makes it feel as though you lack independence, especially when you live in an area that’s basically anything but a city (which I do). SO the point of all this exposition is that I am 21 and have stunted my own life significantly because I’m harping on the fact that I can’t drive it makes me feel like I want to throw my hands up and say fuck it I can’t do it anyway. I know that is a bad attitude to have but I can’t help it and all the people in my life always say “it’s not that big of a deal”, “lots of people can’t drive” and “you can just move to a city when you’re older” (said that to me at 18...like I kind of need it now but k) and TODAY my mom is about an hour away visiting my brother with my other brother and she wanted me and my boyfriend to pick them up and I was like work Ight but we have plans today so it’ll be later. And she’s all frustrated because she doesn’t have a ride at exactly the time she wants it in exactly the vehicle she wants it in and I’m just here like...........every time I need a ride anywhere I have to be considerate of everyone else’s schedules to the point where when I was in college I spent an entire 12 hours on campus every Monday - Thursday when I only had 4 classes because I had to get dropped off at like 6 am and couldn’t get a ride home until about 6 pm, but never did you hear me complain to any of my rides about how early or late I had to get picked up or dropped off because I was just greatful to have a fucking ride. Moral of the rant I guess is I know I fuck myself feeling sorry for myself and stuff but people who can drive really take it for granted and it drives me fucking crazy because the only person who could even kind of understand where I’m coming from is my little brother because he has the same ailments as me but he just is not as salty about it which is great but leaves me feeling really lonely Rant over I guess

blindness vs vr?

If someone who’s blind plays a video game like Sword Art Online be able to see or would they be blind in the game too. Because the Nerve Gear uses brain waves how would that work?

Philosophy Poem: Eyes

EYES

  Time like a breeze passes by us all

With age our eyes will grow dim

Will be know the voices that we hear

When we cannot see the speaker

Will our loved one be know to us

  My children, my voice, will they obey it

Will my wife deceive me before my face

Will I have to feel the arms of my children

My daughter, will I only know you by your scent

I pray my Lord my loved ones play me for no fool
