Seriously having one of those “Why the fuck do I bother trying to be nice to my family?” moments. Mum wants to live in a mice-ridden dump of a house with 10 years of garbage piling up in 3/4 of it? Fine. I’m fucking done trying to make life better for these ungrateful fucks.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. But, does it fucking suck when you take the shot and still miss.

Can’t talk about the work I did today. But I can say I met the most enchanting young scientist. Her mind is incredible and she is doing some groundbreaking work. Hope I get to work with her again.

It is next to impossible to successfully network on this app. It’s really the only reason I still use “that other place” and put up wth it’s bullcrap.

Get to do one of my favourite things as a #Blind person tomorrow. Confuse a store clerk by asking for a copy of a video game. Last time I asked for one, the kids head nearly exploded. You sighted folks are so damn adorable. #AssassinsCreedShadows #Accessibility #FreakOutANormy

Just found out that, as part of the comprehensive #Accessibility features in #AssassinsCreedShadows , the #AudioDescription is narrated by the man, the myth, the legend William Michael Redman! Hype level 50 over here!

A few people have mentioned how negative and pessimistic I have been online of late. As normal, they are people who can’t conceive that my life away from here is less than ideal right now, I have zero support and i just don’t have the mental energy to play nice or deal with everyone else’s problems.

Random observation. Sexual discrimination against #Disabled people, particularly the #Blind , is really annoying. And I’m not talking about work-related issues. I am actually talking about sexual intimacy. Just cause I’m blind, doesn’t mean I’m some kind of sexless blob.

Finally took the plunge and upgraded my phone to iOS18 now that all the #Accessibility bugs have been worked out. Looks pretty good. Like the customisation features on voiceover. But, still can’t find a better sounding voice than Ava Enhanced. Premium just clicks too much for me.

SWs are communicators, healers and bring such joy into peoples lives.

Some time ago, I was commiserating with a friend about a lack of freelance work in the disability space. At that point, I had $2.55 in my account and subsist 90% of the year on a disability pension that keeps me just above the poverty line. They proceeded to complain that they (1)

Those first few episodes of #Daredevil that deal with Fisk And Vanessa’s budding relationship are just so beautifully written and acted. I see a lot of myself in Wilson in the way he is so nervous and unsure of how to handle himself as a larger-than-life guy who just wants someone to love him.

Stuff about me 💥 Name: Scott age: 46 My faves: Colour: Red Animal: Cat Game: Spider-Man 2 Band: Roxette Likes: Laughing, action and sci-fi movies/books, being a good friend, Audio Description Dislikes: AI, ableist people, closed minds, being single Timezone: Australian eastern. DMs: Open

I know it isn’t exactly up to me, but I think I am done being single. I miss having someone I can count on and who will laugh at my dumb jokes. So, universe… let’s see what’s out there.

So. 2024 wasn’t that bad overall. What’s next? #HappyNewYear

Yeah. I could really do without a depressive mood swing on New Years Eve while I’m staying with friends. Please and thank you.

All is well. Everyone is where they are meant to be and there is peace in our time. But fuck, today has been a serious thing.

8pm on Christmas night. I’ve stuffed myself silly with food all day. Just settled down with a Bourbon and hit “shuffle” on my playlist. First song? Mancini’s “Baby Elephant Walk” . I feel my AppleTV is judging my life choices.

Whatever today means for you, I hope it is a good one. And it it isn’t something you’re observing, have a good Wednesday.

After just two episodes of #PopCultureJeopardy , I’m starting a petition to have #ColinJost be named the new regular #Jeopardy host in place of the utterly charisma-deficient #KenJennings

Online hate-machines on Monday: The new “Harry Potter” TV show is going to totally own those left-wing losers. JK will make them all look so stupid by making millions. Online hate machines on Friday: Snape is going to be black? This woke garbage will be watched by nobody! RAGE!!!

You know how much coverage I heard about IDPWD here in Australia yesterday? Completely none. Zip, zero, fuck all. 🎶All I wanna say is, they really don’t care about us.🎶

Two dudebros having a very loud conversation across the street, planning a drug deal. My neighbour is an EMT and his sister is a cop. One phone call later, plain-clothes officers walk around the corner and arrest dudebros. God I love karma.

Even legalised and regulated as it is in my home city, sex workers and adult entertainers face discrimination, physical and sexual violence and even worse. These caring and incredibly generous people are faced with out-dated and cruel community attitudes daily and it disgusts me. Support SWs.

I don’t know what pisses me off more. People who constantly over-promise and under-deliver or the fact that I fall for it every single time.

Am i that much of a voice acting/scifi geek I am going to take a chance and ask the one and only @markhamillofficial.bsky.social for a follow, knowing full well we will most likely never interact again after this moment? Yes, yes I am.

BREAKING: The Bluey balloon for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has exploded while being inflated. NYPD have put out a BOLO for a 4 year old Pig, thought to be an illegal immigrant, fleeing the scene.

Reading what is happening in America right now is like that famous interview between Micheal Parkinson and Meg Ryan. You know it is going to be a complete shitshow and all you want to do is scream “JUST STOP NOW!” But nobody can hear you.

No, I’m not depressed. That entire sleeve of Oreos vanished completely on their own after dinner.

Nothing like someone showing concern for your well-being, listening to your issue and then starting a rousing game of “Oh yeah? Well I’m dealing with worse.” Really helps you feel good about opening up to them.

Just checked my stats and I’ve played #SpiderMan2PS5 for over 300hrs. And ya know what? Still not sick of it. This game is my happy place.

As a person experiencing disability, i could not have put it better myself. If you have an issue with the fact that i support Sex Workers in all areas of the industry. 1: You are an ablest bigot. 2: The unfollow button is right there.

Just so we’re clear: sex work is an issue of disability justice. There are both sex workers who are disabled and disabled people who pay sex workers as the primary or only way they receive sexual gratification/intimacy Everyone deserves fulfilling sexual expression.

Women’s rights are under attack. The government is about to be run by a team that makes “The Legion of Doom” look like the cast of “My Little Pony” . But the most discourse I’m reading today is about rides at Disney theme parks. Seriously America. Way too miss the iceberg.

Obviously tonight is for singing “The Carpenters” greatest hits with my cat curled up on my lap under the air conditioner. I just go where the music leads me. 🎶🤷‍♂️

She may not be here on BS or anywhere accept for Facebook. But I’d still like to publicly wish my Mum a very happy 72nd birthday. Don’t worry Mum, I’m here to pick up the slack when you need me.

I wonder if all the people madly deleting all their tweets to stop Elon from scraping them for data realise that he has already been doing it illegally for most of this year? The TOS changes just put it out in the open. He never had to legally tell us he did anything. He is evil!

Someone asked me today what I am really looking for in a relationship. A good heart. That is the baseline. Everything else is just gravy on the top.

Okay, I’m digging the new “Matlock” with Kathy Bates. Very strong “Boston Legal” vibes. Glad it has been picked up for season two.

I miss hashtags. Elon doesn’t own the rights to them. It’d be so much easier to find like-minded people here with them. #BringHashTagsToBlueSky

Little more about me, I guess. I am totally blind and have been so for coming up on 25 years. I use adaptive tech like Apple’s “voiceover” and the NVDA screenreader on PC to navigate the web and use an iPhone/iPad/Apple TV. 1

A journey of a thousand miles starts with me calling a Taxi because I ain’t walking that far for anybody.

“What shall I find on this feed?” I hear you ask, oh reasonable reader. My general musings, talk of all aspects of accessibility for people experiencing disability with a heavy focus on entertainment and lifestyle as well as my thoughts on politics, life, love and mental health. Let’s be about it!
