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.
Instagram comment that says: damn bro, that’s actually crazy. I hope you get the absolute best titties in your face on the regular, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

It's my birthday! And since it's my birthday, it means you all have to go check out my new YT channel dedicated to specifically blind gaming! Please share and super excited to see where this goes!

The Eye Play Blind channel banner. It features several blind characters from popular franchises. From left to right, the banner features Hawk Eye from Dark Souls, a Clicker from The Last of Us, Kenshi from Mortal Kombat, Daredevil, and Ross in the middle with the Eye Play Blind logo above his head. The Eye Play Blind logo is a white controller surrounded by a blue glow with sound waves emanating from it. The words “Eye Play Blind” are below it.

Went orange picking across the street at my new college campus! This is paradise and I think Dixie agrees!
Ross, a man short wavy brown hair, a mustache, and sunglasses, is standing in front of a lush orange tree filled with ripe oranges. He is smiling and making a “hang loose” (shaka) hand gesture with his right hand while holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt featuring a vintage-style Ba Sing Se design, gray shorts, navy blue sneakers, and a black watch on his left wrist. Sitting in front of Ross is Dixie, a black Labrador Retriever with a shiny coat, floppy ears, and a calm expression. Dixie is looking directly at the camera with a silver chain collar around her neck. The ground is covered with wood chips, dirt, and scattered fallen oranges. The setting is an orange grove, with more trees and a brick wall visible in the background under Ross has sunglasses on his face and is bending down to pet a Dixie, a black lab. He is wearing a navy blue t-shirt, light gray shorts, and navy blue sneakers. He is holding a cream-colored reusable tote bag in his left hand. Dixie stands on all fours with her tail slightly raised, looking up at Ross. Her ears are perked, and she is attentive to Ross. They are standing under a lush orange tree full of ripe oranges, with many fallen oranges scattered on the ground. The setting is an orange grove with wood chips and dirt covering the ground. In the background there are more trees and an open outdoor space with natural light.

The image is a screenshot of a note taken on a phone. The note reads: "I evacuated my place this morning and am safe with friends. We were driving back to drop me off when we saw an entirely new fire by where I live. So I swung by my place to grab more things and am spending the night at my friends place. I really don’t care if I lose all my possessions, but I’m kicking myself for forgetting to grab my brothers iPod; it’s one of the only things I have left of his that I really cherish. Hoping to return home safely tomorrow!"

2024 has been one of my best years in a long time. It can be easy to forget the things you’ve done over the year, so I decided to create a list of my accomplishments. It’s a great feeling to know all my years of advocacy are paying off.

Ross smiles brightly has he stands at a podium and microphone, both with the South by Southwest 2024 logo. Behind him is a massive screen that reads “South by Southwest Innovation Awards,” displaying colorful shapes and patterns. Stage lights shine down on him as he faces out to the crowd wearing a black long sleeve, grey slacks and brown leather shoes. Ross and Connor Dewolf stand in front of a large sculpture in a large, modern looking building. The sculpture is of Young-hee, a famous children’s book character in Korea, and the murderous doll from the Netflix Series, Squid Game. The sculpture stands several feet taller than the two men, Ross being on the left in an open blue button up, white t-shirt and black jeans. He holds a leather leash holding Dixie, his black lab seeing eye dog. Conor stands next to him, in a grey button up and jeans. The both of them smile. In front of Exhibit Hall A of the San Diego convention center, a small group poses on a clear day. From left to right, Ross holds up a "hang loose" sign while holding a tote bag, and Dixie's leash. Dixie sits in front of him, looking off camera. Drew tips his head back with a huge grin. Jenna also wears a huge grin with an arm around Drew and Steve. Steve smiles and wears a black and pick palm tree shirt. Tee smiles slyly with one hand on Mike's shoulder. Mike, in his manual wheelchair, smiles and wears a white beanie that has "quad squad" embroidered on it. Ross wears a long sleeve blue button down and stands on the left of Tess, who wears a black sweater, black face mask, and jeans. Ross smiles and holds up his hand in a “hang loose” symbol while Tess gives a thumbs up. In the background, Halloween decorations are hung near a large screen has a slideshow projected.

#Ad I recently discovered a website that uses AI to find the best deals, but get this, they also make it a goal to be completely accessible for blind users! More info below!

www.innosearch.ai

A price history graph from innosearch.ai. The graph is labeled "Price History" and tracks the price of a product on Amazon over time. The vertical axis represents the price in dollars, ranging from $260 to $420. The horizontal axis shows the timeline from December 2023 to December 2024. The graph line fluctuates, indicating changes in price over the months. Below the graph, there are images of sunglasses with a label indicating "FREE delivery." There is also a red banner at the top of the image offering a $10 credit for sharing Innosearch with friends.Ross sitting in a chair and holding a smartphone in his left hand. The phone screen displays a webpage from Innosearch.ai with a red and white theme, featuring a banner that says "FREE DELIVERY AND RETURN" and "Cyber Monday Deals.".
