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 Microsoft. Can we please not right now 😅

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,

Here's an article I have been wanting to write for a long time. Shout out to @wired for the chance, and to @rossminor.bsky.social for letting me tell some of this story.
WIRED@wired.com · last yr.Ross Minor lost his eyesight at 8 years old. Today, he’s a hardcore gamer who runs YouTube and Twitch channels and consults for big studios. @rossminor.bsky.social's ultimate goal? To make it so blind people can play any game. www.wired.com/story/ross-m...
Wow, this takes the cake for the most unhinged comment I’ve ever received. And no this is not an invitation to one up them 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

Ross Minor lost his eyesight at 8 years old. Today, he’s a hardcore gamer who runs YouTube and Twitch channels and consults for big studios. This is not—necessarily—an inspirational story.

Booting up my ROG Ally for the first time in months. So many updates! The fans are blasting haha. It will feel good to casually play some games again.
The hotel I’m staying at uses AccessiBe and their website is so laggy on mobile. Coincidence? I think not
