  I've been thinking about something as of late while my living situation shifts around. As a community, and I'm talking the blind community specifically, we tend to get weird when it comes to living situations. What do I mean? I'll explain. There's this line that's walked in the community. If you're not living on your own with no help you're second place. If you don't have the perfect housing situation you're second-class in...

  RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mhoye/116438026401719521 The devil also cheats in that song, too. A fiddle contest with Johnny which he doesn't win but he still uses a band of demons while Johnny plays solo.

  Today in things I didn't know that are actually useful: I think I saw this tip in another post somewhere but have it again. If you put an apple watch charger on the back of an AirPods case, the AirPods will charge that way. You're welcome. Edited to add: The apple watch charging tip assumes you don't have anything covering the back of your AirPods case and have AirPods that support wireless charging.

  Let's talk Be My Eyes for a bit because there are two big things that have been all over my various social media spaces concerning the company. Thing 1: There was a guy who supposedly ran a marathon with BME volunteers connected via Meta glasses. I saw someone on my facebook feed post about this and while the press could have sensationalized the story and there could have been other factors at play, why is this even allowed? I know I might not have all the facts, but I'm Pretty...

  I got asked to share these as I found them on my feed so have some more music lessons that aren't dirty... or are they. Your inner 12-year-old can be free during this lesson. Tonight it's double tongueing. You're welcome.

  Good morning, friends. It's Friday! Hope everybody is doing well. Good news! I can move around again, but now I'm dealing with horrible overly painful for no reason cramps but at least I knew that was coming, better than that flare up the other day. I can deal with this. I didn't do my workout before coffee this morning. I know, bad Mariah. Literature advises against using the plate during that time, but I can if it helps my back and it does. Sooooo, I'll probably use the thing...

  Good morning, friends. I promised stories, so here's one. Strap in, this is long, thank god for my character limit. First of all, I want to say that Saturday was a whole experience. I haven't traveled with a big group of blind folks in a really long time, and blind folks who knew what they were doing, at that. There is a distinction for my non blind kind that follow me. Trust me. There are also things that are part of an experience that the average able-bodied person doesn&#...

  My impatient ass just opened audible. 8 hours and some change now. 8 hours!

  your preorder is now available. mine! If anyone needs me today... don't. it's coffee and book devouring time.

• Post #1043413

  No spoilers, but jesus Peter v. Brett has never done what he's doing now. Used to be there was a chapter or two to orient... There was maybe a paragraph or two per first two chapters to get situated and recap. There's so much new info it's almost overwhelming. Challenge accepted, sir.

  This book is going to give me a fucking heart attack.

• Post #1043411

  I'm glad for the break I'm taking from reading to get myself back in order. I wasn't expecting to get thrown in the deep end of a wave pool with nothing to hold onto. god damn what a ride and I'm only about halfway through.

• Post #1043410

  To my favorite author of all time: Thank you for not breaking my heart. seriously. Thank you.

• Post #1043409

  I'm going to need to reread this book again but holy fuck you guys. what a ride. I'm a bit sad to see this end but my heart wasn't shattered like I feared it would be. I'm going to hit my pillows in an hour or two and sleep like the dead. Tomorrow I'm packing for the Colorado trip, but tonight? a good sleep and a lot of info to turn over. What a day.

• Post #1043408

  Good morning, lovelies. This time tomorrow I'll be on the road to Colorado. I'm excited and nervous and so many other things, but it's going to be worth it, I hope. I finished The Demon King. I'll need to reread it, but I've done one full pass and wow. Just. Wow. Today is packing for the trip day, but after coffee and a few hours to wake up, of course.

  Good afternoon from Colorado. The drive was mostly uneventful accept for something huge. I took a shot in the dark and reached out to Peter V. Brett himself through TikTok and just said thank you for an amazing series. Yall. not only did he answer back, I'm able to ask him questions!!! I already have and he's given me some closure about the ending of this wonderful series. I'm freaking the hell out right now. So that happened. Currently in the first of two hotels, relaxin...

  Have some survival and x1's revenge. Seemed like the fun thing to do. You'd think in all my years of gaming, audio or mainstream it doesn't matter, that I'd learn to keep my mouth shut because sometimes the game hears you and will oblige in mean mean ways. There's a very good example of "be careful what you wish for" that happens here and it's hilarious. I tried not to do my usual commentary oplaystyle but the game had other plan...

  In case you don't want to listen to the entire recording I just posted to see what happens when I don't keep my mouth shut, I pulled the exact moment I got what I wanted. Lesson learned. lol.

  I debated with myself to even post this, just because I know that its easy especially these days for words to be twisted to fit other people's agendas, no matter how much prefacing you do in an effort to explain yourself. I'm fully aware that some folk might come at me and I'm prepared to defend my stance even though I shouldn't have to, but I've got a lot on my mind so let's go. This came about because of the new Harry Potter HBO Series. here we g...

  RE: https://dragonscave.space/@guilevi/116245266789857338 This is disturbingly accurate.

  Took off work an hour earlier than usual to get in some necessary reading. The Demon King comes out in... less than a month and I'm not even finished with The Dessert Spear. I still have the main Demon Cycle series including novellas to get through. I've been so wrapped up in work and trip plans I've not done my reading. That ends today. I need to make sure I'm refreshed on my Demon Cycle lore and every little thing about the universe before this final book in the...

  I'll try not to spoil anything too much for those who aren't as obsessed with this series as I am and probably three people will care, but I need to take a second and complain about one particular character. Leesha Paper irritates me so. much! I know, her backstory is supposed to make me feel sympathy but I have none. Yes, her mother Elona is a whole level of awful to her daughter, (that's a separate post), but Leesha, despite what Peter V. Brett does to make her seem be...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@anon_opin/116238483860739266 This take is actually bullshit. Audiobooks are reading I don't give a damn who says otherwise. I will die on this hill and I'm okay with that.
