my tweet earlier was made while my screen was black because i was living a day as a blind person with
@MollyBOfficial
. it’s one of my favorite things i’ve ever filmed and i can’t wait for you guys to see it :,) series coming soon ❤️
I feel like I had an advantage watching the new

video... I heard "BA BA BA" the entire time! hahaha Can't trick a blind girl!

Is wearing a face mask for an extended period of time giving anyone else acne breakouts? I find it especially bad if I'm wearing makeup under the mask.
It's funny to me that most of the time it's other people who think about the fact that I can't see things more than I do. I can't see the color of my hair but that doesn't stop me from loving that it's pink. I can't see myself but that doesn't stop me from feeling beautiful.
I'm so blind... I literally just put my laptop down on top of my open faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich... It got very messy, very quickly.

Today I admittedly lost my temper with an Uber driver who wouldn't allow me into his car with my guide dog because it "wasn't an Uber Pet" - after trying to explain that I'm blind, educate on the ADA/Ubers policy, etc. he still said no and I lost it on him. (1/2)
Gallop was at the vet for 12 hours yesterday. He had a surgery to remove the lump on his back and is now recovering. Unfortunately we won't have the test results back to determine what the lump is until Wednesday, earliest. Please keep him in your prayers!

My mama did! ahah I was scrolling through TW and she walked in and went "IS THAT SHANE?" and I as confused so she told me! BUT TW does have photo descriptions that are hidden to sighted users but read out loud to VI/Blind users!
My management has been told things like, "she doesn't look blind, if we put her on a billboard no one will even know she's disabled" AKA "we won't get diversity points for using her" This type of industry attitude sickens me.
Thank you to everyone tweeting my accessibility makeup collection idea to
@JeffreeStar
! Even if it never happens, it's cool that so many of you like the idea and are so supportive!
Last night I was too anxious to sleep so I woke Gallop up and had him come snuggle to calm me down. He happily curled up in the crook of my legs and helped me fall asleep. Tonight he remembered how I felt last night and without being asked jumped up onto my bed and did the same!
Thanks for all the love on the casual boyfriend drop! He's incredible and I know you'll all love him once you meet him in the big August YouTube reveal!! <3
My heart is hurting as I share that today we say goodbye to Gallop. An incredible guide dog and friend, the biggest cheese monster I know, and a true lover of naps and cuddles. Enjoy your forever nap, my sweet angel. I love you. I miss you already. Thank you.
I just got my first audition for a non-blind role!!! I don't even care if I get the job or not, it's a HUGE step to even get asked to audition for a sighted character as a blind actor! Change is happening.
MASSIVE congrats to the icon that is
@shanedawson
on his first venture into the world of makeup! I need to get my hands on that palette... Who else is excited!? We all have to be thankful for
@JeffreeStar
seeing Shane's magic! What a duo...
I got my PR package from
@shanedawson
and
@JeffreeStar
and I'm SOOO excited! My (very late) unboxing is coming soon! Now I just have to get my hands on that pig backpack and the repeating pig logo hoodie! What do you want?
Poor Gallop has a tooth infection and is going in for surgery tomorrow to get it removed and the rest of his teeth cleaned. Send him good vibes in the morning for everything to go well and a quick puppy recovery!
Is it weird that I've watched Friends 10 times over throughout my life and I still feel like I've been punched in the stomach every time I hear about or think about the final episode? It's as if I don't know it's coming to an end... I'm still not ready and it's been 14+ years.
I'm blind, so I obviously can't see images but that doesn't mean I don't want to know what's going on. Only .01% of images on Twitter include ALT text, excluding me & my community. Be a part of the change & describe your images!

My body still hurts from my workout on Thursday... but I'm here for it! Am I the only one who likes being in pain post-workout? It makes me feel like I did something with my time!
I think it’s safe to say that

is one of the most iconic human on the internet and cooler than I will ever be. So check out my review on her favorite foods and her new

I'm not even a basketball fan but damn... this hits hard. The world lost a good person. RIP to Kobe, his daughter, and the others currently unnamed in the accident today. Love to his family, friends, and fans.
I had a dream last night (in a pair of my new PJ's from todays video review) that
@DavidDobrik
was driving me around in his Tesla and I was telling him about how I got sentences to 10,000 years in prison for BUYING a perfume... Sleeping is weird, man.
It was an Uber Black too and given this is the "professional" line of cars I feel like he really should know the law/rules! And he kept saying "this is a luxury car" as if I don't deserve to be in a luxury car with my service animal...
I feel so blessed to have all these new people joining my life! <3 Thank you to all the new peeps coming from the amazing
@shanedawson
and of course, thanks to all my OG's! <3
Tomorrow is World Sight Day and ironically enough,I'll be at an eye appointment with my specialist! Please send me good vibes for all of my tests to go well! I've already lost the majority of my vision but that doesn't mean there aren't still things that could go wrong.
I hate that I did that - it's so out of character for me & not who I am or how I usually handle things but I'm just so done with this BS. My guide dog is here to help me & ignorant, discriminatory people just make it harder all over again... it's not fair & I'm frustrated. (2/2)
On Monday at 8am PST I'm having surgery and I need your good vibes! It's minor surgery but I'm still getting put to sleep and I'm nervous, so good vibes are appreciated (video to come) I've had surgery before but still.. it's never fun!
Also, side note, SO proud of sister
@jamescharles
! Why is he SUCH a queen? Congrats, boo! <3 So glad to have you in my life and SO wish I could have been at the party on Monday! You're killing it at life. xo
I love that Gallop just knows to get out of my way when I'm walking his direction, even when he's off harness and sleeping on the floor. He just shoots up from his nap and gets out of the way! Realistically speaking, it's probably just so he doesn't get stepped on, but still!
I think I've turned Gallop into a diva... He had a full bowl of water but was laying beside it as if he was thirst. I stuck my finger in to make sure it was full and not too warm, it was perfect. I decided to empty it, refill it, and add ice. I put it down, he drank all of it.
These "Bird Box Challenges" need to stop. Blindfolding yourself like this can be dangerous and I've certainly heard more than one offensive comment made in every video I've watched.
To be clear, I'm not mad at or trying to start beef with anyone who's done the Bird Box Challenge, I'm just trying to do my part and raise awareness for the fact that it's not safe and is often offensive to the blind community because it perpetuates stereotypes.
I wish you could all understand... the firework literally went off RIGHT NEXT TO ME in the middle of a quiet residential street. NOT LEGAL! NOT SAFE! VERY SCARY!
I made the mistake of somehow stumbling onto a gossip forum about me... wow, humans can be mean sometimes! Reminds me of middle school all over again and guess what, words still hurt! It's okay though, you all brighten m y life daily. <3
I woke up in the middle of the night after a bad dream and found Gallop's back pushed up against mine and just knew I was safe and everything would be alright. :) <3
As someone who grew up loving to sing, it shocks me that
@ddlovato
isn't more famous simply for her vocal talent alone. On top of that, she's a great songwriter who writes with purpose & meaning. She is authentic & raw, speaking for so many unheard, on important but taboo topics.
I'm pretty sure my cat knows I'm blind... She's taken to pushing her toy to my foot when we're playing and I can't find it on the ground. She has also started to make a small moan sound when I'm close to stepping on her to let me know she's there!
Over the past few months I've been collecting so many fun things to do a giveaway for my bees and figured I might as well do it today! 🐝💕 Reply to this and tell me what sort of videos you want to see on my channel to be entered! 🙌 Ends in 24 hours! 🏆
I've been working my new guide dog around my neighborhood since we got home a few days ago and WOW... this pup makes me feel So confident and safe navigating any situation on my own! I feel like I can be so much more comfortable and independent again!
I was just going through my old music playlist from 2008 and it broke my heart. No human should ever feel so lost, alone, empty, and worthless. If you ever feel that way or know someone in your life is going through a hard time, please reach out for help. <3
Just experienced my second big LA earthquake and this one was a 7.1! It seemed to last for so long and when we looked outside ther water in the swimming pool was sloshing out. I'm ready for these to be over! 😬 hope everyone's safe!
AH, why is Elf such a brilliant movie?! What's your favorite Christmas movie?! Also, can you believe it's tomorrow? Like, what happened to this past year?
I hate when you're so tired that it's easier to stay up than it is to take the time and effort to actually get ready for bed and then go to sleep... Just me?
