  1. It was an honor and a privilege to nominate my bride for a position on the #ACB Board Of Publications. It is no exaggeeration to say that she’s one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever known,, and she’d do such a great job on the board. This is where I should say something like I’m confident we will win or words to that effect, but I’m a realist, and I know how these things go. What we are both hoping for is a decent showing. We have both been involved with #ACB in the past but that was long ago and far away. We want to get back into the swing, be it here in #Tennessee or back in #Indiana where we may be going.

  2. To those currently in travel mode on their way to STL for #ACB2026 let me say safe travels and I hope you have a great time. I did everything I could to be there with you all, but it just wasn't in the cards this year. Unfortunately, there is this very annoying thing called money that has the propensity to just wreck everything. I am more grateful that I can say that #ACB has a hybrid convention of both in-person and virtual. I have always said that it's the one thing I thank the pandemic for. Also, I look forward to the day when #NFB instigates hybrid as well. If ACB can do it, so can they. As many of you know, I will be more virtually involved in this convention than I ever have before. For those who may not know, Sarah is running for the Board of Publications as a nomination from the floor. Now, conversations I have had over the past week or so lead me to believe that her doing this has upset a few apple carts. Well, I contend that there are times when some apple carts need to be upset. So think good thoughts Saturday night, when the elections roll around. Otherwise, have a great time! Convention is an experience like no other.

  3. The obituary that I know may get the reporter sanctioned but is more truthful than the one the New York Times will send out (it's already written).

  4. The #ACB model of virtual and in-person hybrid convention is very unique, particularly since there’s a one-week break between the two. It’s like you get all fired up one week, take the next one off, and then get all worked up again. Still and all, though, I’m very glad that people who can’t plunk down the money to actually go to the convention can still more or less fully participate, thanks to #Zoom and other tech. I will say, though, that there’s really nothing like actually being there. #ACB26 #ACB2026

  5. CW: anti-blindness organization ramblings

    @darren_duff @dotsonapage There isn’t much here I can disagree with. For the record, I am familiar with the #Facebook post referenced, so even though I’ll do my best to stick to they/them pronouns I may slip at some point. Anyhow…As I said, I don’t disagree with the writer. At all. I have been involved on some level or other in #ACB for almost 40 years, 2/3 of my life. If I am honest, I’d have to say there has been precious little advancement in much of anything—employment, opinions of what blind people can do, and on down the line. This is not through lack of trying; both organizations have done great work in trying to advance these issues. But it’s a battle similar to Sisyphus rolling the rock uphill, only to have it roll right back down and having to do it all over again. To a rather large extent, general attitudes about blindness are very tightly engrained, woven into society, are not changing, and barring a miracle, will probably never change. It’s a similar struggle that #POC face, and in saying that I’m not at all trying to conflate blindness attitudes with racism, but there’s no denying that there are parallels. I can’t be certain of this, my memory sometimes plays tricks on me, but I seem to remember that the very thing the author talks about has been tried in the past, that is setting up blind individuals as business entrepreneurs, with little success. (1/2)

  6. Something I have learned the hard way over the past several nights following the #ACB convention. Politics is a losing game, any way you slice it, and the good guys definitely don’t always win. If there is something someone wants to happen, even if it isn’t necessarily kosher, there’s always a way to do it, and you can even keep it within procedural rules, though just barely. I talked Sarah into running for the #BOP, and I’m now wondering if I shouldn’t have. I mean, she deserves to serve, her body of work can stand with anyone’s, but I can’t help but be a bit afraid for her. Nonetheless, she’s going to be put into nomination against Deborah Armstrong. Positive thoughts very much appreciated. #ACB26 #ACB2026

  7. It's good to be a member of @bitsacb. A few minutes after the #acb general session was over, I got a notification from BITS Connect that voting was open. Voting took all of 5 minutes.

  8. As Independence Day approaches in the United States, many of us are also preparing for some of the biggest blindness-related gatherings of the year, including the #ACB and #NFB26 national conventions in the United States and the UK’s #SightVillage Exhibition.
    At Pneuma Solutions, we can’t think of a better time to celebrate a new level of independence for blind and low-vision technology professionals and consumers.
    For a blind technician, trainer, teacher, or support specialist, independence is not just about using your own computer. It is also about being able to help someone else use theirs.
    That is where #RemoteIncidentManager changes the game.
    With RIM, a blind user can connect to a sighted end user’s computer, even when that computer does not already have a screen reader installed, and still perform a fully accessible remote support or training session. Whether the user is on Windows or Mac, RIM gives blind professionals the ability to work directly, efficiently, and independently.
    To celebrate this milestone, Pneuma Solutions is offering unlimited access to Remote Incident Manager completely free for the next 27 days.
    Whether you are at convention and get asked to help a friend, colleague, or family member with a computer problem, or you are traveling and need to reach back to your own machine at home, RIM is ready to make the process quick, painless, and accessible.
    For the rest of the month, it will not cost you a dime!
    Download Remote Incident Manager, start a session, and experience remote desktop access built for the independence of blind people from the ground up.

  9. I hope all my fellow #Blind, #DeafBlind, and #VisuallyImpaired people, along with their family, friends, and others have a great time at the #ACB and/or #NFB 2026 conventions. I am taking this time, and the increased activity on certain hashtags to do some shameless promotion of #OurBlind. OurBlind comprises the Discord, Lemmy, and Reddit communities operated by the staff of the r/Blind subreddit, as well as those who have joined since the creation of the Discord in 2022, and Lemmy in 2023. We have members from all over the world, and of all ages, hearing and vision levels, and are a safe space for Our LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse friends. Our general community guidelines, and the links to reach our platforms can be found on our website.
