Most of the VI people I know I met through cycling.

I'm kinda boring. I like to research stuff for hours and hours. Lately been super into true crime and cults!

Well, I'm both totally blind and severely hearing impaired, so my options are limited. I mostly read books and surf the web. Sometimes I play games on my pc or phone as well.

I actually paint, however I'm legally blind and still have usable vision in one eye. I've been trying to get into more hobbies because I know my vision isn't going to last me forever

I play boardgames mostly, some D&D, reading/audio books. I've also been doing a podcast for several years, but my co-host and I are taking this year off from recording to co-author a book.

I mostly play tabletop games and occasionally write some garbage. I also like making hemp jewelry and used to sculpt with clay but it makes the joints in my hand go all fucky so I can't do it much anymore.
If one can consider sending memes as a hobby, I do that too 😂

Youtube, audiobooks/dramas, Harry Potter fan fiction, going out with my friend, helping out when I can.

Weirdly enough, most of my hobbies involve vision. Writing and drawing are my two biggest passions in life, but I’ve been getting back into reading lately in the form of comics/manga. Note that though I’m legally blind, I do still have some semblance of vision. I’m probably a lot better off than most people in this sub, haha.

I love reading and writing even though I’m legally blind, I also adore acting and design such as editing or drawing.

I like shooting guns, bowling, fishing, playing vidya games, reading, writing, tormenting my cat and now dog.

It’s as varied as the people on here. Lack of site doesn’t preclude any hobbies you just may have to modify them.
Mine include cycling though it’s been a little while, shooting, hunting, smoking meat, reading, and a good cigar to name a few.

Personally, I am a huge gamer and sports fan. I play both video games and audio games which are basically games with sound only. I use an Xbox 1X and a Linovo t430 to play games. For sports, I use Tune-in Radio. I am also going to start playing DND.

I brew homemade wines, I play poker, I also collect gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars. I read, a lot. Audio of course. I also like to invest on the stock markets too. I would love to learn how to sail. It's on my list for the future. I also enjoy travelling on trains. In the future who knows? Travel by sailing? Very ambitious but not impossible lol.

I knit, crochet, and tie decorative knots. I learned prior to vision loss.

I'm into raising quail. I have a couple of incubators and hatch about 80 chicks each three week cycle. I also keep chickens. Gardening is good fun, I grow lots of vegetables. I really wish I was a farmer. I'm also into public speaking and writing speeches takes up a fair bit of time.

Below is my most recent speech.

Madam Chairman, fellow speakers


It was a memorable moment, indeed.


The moment Mr Mole lost his thumb has stayed with me all these years.


Now, Mr Mole is not to be confused with a character from the children's book, 'Wind in the willows', 


Rather, Mr Mole was my woodwork teacher in year eight. That's form two, in the old scale.


He spoke with an an American, or perhaps Canadian, accent.


A jovial chap, who would communicate with hand signals in the often noisy woodwork room.  


If you were on the right track, he would give you a thumbs up and drawl, "right on".


Like The Fonze, from Happy Days.


But any student misbehaving or mishandling a tool would receive a sharp rebuke.


Mr Mole would ignore colourful language and banter in his class. He didn't mind.


He was all about the craft and us students responded well to that.


He was a tradesman first and a school teacher second. We were all his apprentices.


His classes were serious business and were run like a workplace.


Mr Mole tolerated no foolishness and he was respected by most.


A perfectionist who put safety front and centre, Mr Mole would painstakingly demonstrate the correct method for using each tool and each technique.


And so it was, during a demonstration of the proper operationof the bandsaw, that the accident happened.


It still astonishes me. How on earth... such a meticulous craftsman... in any case...


As he ran the short length of wood through the saw, he must have had a brain freeze... or something.


And there it was.


Or more accurately, there it wasn't. Mr Moles thumb was severed.


Thirty kids gaping in total shock, Mr Moles face twisted into a silent scream as he scrambled to pick up his thumb. 


Blood.


I bolted. I remember making some kind of noise as I ran to the school office. A gurgling sound.


"Mr Mole cut off his thumb!"


Teachers in panic. Mr Moles hand wrapped in a tea towel, then another tea towel. And yet another.


An ambulance.


Us kids who witnessed the accident were in hot demand to tell, and then retell the story to the other kids.


I couldn't speak of it.


And I have not spoken of it until now.


If this type of accident happened these days, things would be different. 


I dare say the school community would have been supported, whatever that means.


Worksafe investigations would have taken place.


Psychological trauma counselling would, no doubt, have been offered to any and all involved.


And us kids, we would have known how Mr Moles recovery was progressing and when, or if, he would return to school.


Basically, we would, as a school, have given a damn.


But that's how things were back then.


Now, Mr Mole never returned to school but that's not the end of this tale.


One day, about a year or so later, I saw Mr Mole. I was on the bus when I spotted him.


You remember the old days when bus stops had shelters made from timber? 


Well, some drongos had kicked the weatherboards out and there was a council maintenance crew at work.


What a come down that must be for Mr Mole.


From a tradesman & teacher to council worker. I felt sorry for him.


But as I watched them work, with Mr Moles leadership and competence, that bus stop was as good as new in no time.


With attention to smaller details, showing the obvious pride taken by these men in their repair work.


The pity I'd felt for Mr Mole melted a away.


And as my bus drew away, on an impulse, I opened the window and called out.


"Right on, Mr Mole". And I gave him a thumbs up.


His face crinkled into a big grin as he turned towards me, slowly raised his fist and gave me a thumbless...


"Right on".

I like doing indoor rock climbing with friends, Dungeons & dragons, working on my bass guitar or piano skills and I'm also a huge hockey fan. I listen to it on the radio as often as I can.

Used to do nothing all day until back in August I found out that I could actually still code, so I proceeded to create a very simple iOS game with 3D graphics where all the assets are procedurally generated just to prove to myself that I could do it. In the future I'm planning on trying to implement something similar to Dungeon Keeper, once I figure out how to communicate the complex behaviors that I need tested by the sighted around me.
