200 years ago, a #Blind French teenager took six little dots and opened up the world of literacy for himself and generations to come. Merci Louis. Without the code that bears your name, I wouldn't have gotten through school or found success at work. I definitely wouldn't love to read as much as I do. #Braille is independence, dignity, resourcefulness, pride. #Braille is beautiful!! Happy #WorldBrailleDay

Man hätte sie bestimmt auch (zusätzlich) in richtiger #Braille #Schrift gestalten können.

Guess what? Because I like such days, but my tracking time skills are at level 0, I wish you a happy #WorldBrailleDay #Braille is good. This post was written in braille, then re-written on the phone. Ha! No, I used a braille display and it was connected to my phone, so the post was not re-writen. However, here is one for you. A friend I consider awesome, said "Braille is text, colours, and access to a lot of things." I agree. For me, braille is access to comprehension, to understanding, because it is like reading with glasses. Giving it up for talking things, and forgiving your brain more auditory things to process, is not fun. There will be one day, when the power will simply stop, then you would wish to have just one little braille book. Trust me, this is told to you by a person whose home had no power for 7/8 days, and back then, I had no money to buy a braille display, I took up some old braille books, and like a good teenager, I spent my time reading them. And although they are old, I still keep them. So, how about we also think of those friends who cannot hear, nor auditorily process things? Isn't giving up on braille going to rob them from that which we have access to? Is this not going to create inequality? And most of all, isn't this a setback? Because I think it is. Children should be taught braille, and should be encouraged to use it. They should encourage, in turn, teachers and librarians, to give them interesting to them books to read, and libraries should have braille books available. Not hidden in a back room, but at the front. Sighted folks are really fascinated with how braille works. I have not seen even one, at least around here, who turned their back, they would always come to me and ask questions. Now, I thank you for stopping buy and reading my post. Be safe, take care of yourselves, and have a great weekend.

I’m excited to be going to the UK's first World #Braille Day conference tomorrow, hosted by The Braillists Foundation, but I’m a little worried about the weather! It looks like it could be a miserable day to be travelling! 🌨️☔️ I’m determined to go, even if it’s for slightly less of the day than I’d planned as I’m so looking forward to meeting people in person who I’ve only met online or on WhatsApp
