When my wife works and I'm alone I'm online all the time.

When she's home then we walk through the local parks, dance at the club, and ride a bicycle built for two.

I've got a blind bucket list and we try to do something on my list once a month, too.

Audiobooks, walks in nature with my guide dog, colouring in dogs (I used to love painting, but my vision got so bad that I have to zoom in so much that it‘s nearly impossible to get proportions right).
I also do loads of volunteering, but decided to reduce my number of involvements as some of them aren‘t making me as happy and fulfilled as I hoped and as I would expect something I give my spare time to.

Currently I’m baking a lot more. It wasn’t my thing before becoming VI so it’s out of boredom mostly, but I’m enjoying it. Years ago I tried to learn how to play the ukulele and I’ve been thinking of taking it up again. I can only binge so much tv and audiobooks.

Watching TV (mainly anime), reading, stuff on my phone (discord, facebook, reddit), also have an infant so that takes a lot of my time. Also play piano, though less since going blind, working on braille reading/writing, plus there’s waiting for my local card shop to open back up for in person events so I can play Magic the Gathering again and figure out how best to go about that with no useable sight.

Read on my tablet with dark contrast so it's easy to read or auto books. And drawing on the procreate and ibis paint x apps because I can zoom in on whatever I'm working on

Amateur radio or shortwave radio and tandem cycling. The local mountains have skiing for the blind.

I listen to a lot of music and smoke a lot of weed and play The Long Dark because it's one of the more VI friendly games I've played (high contrast, b&w with pops of bright color and gameplay that doesn't require too quick reflexes). Theoretically I'd have more hobbies if my life wasn't the toilet but that's what I've got going for me.

I read. Whether jumbo print or braille. I also sew when I have the time. I’ll start gardening now that I have my own yard again. I love being able to grow my own food.

Play my horn. I am a musician and am trying to pick up more jazz while I can still see, but looking forward to still playing when I can’t.

Gardening, some video games, watching cartoons, listening to creepy pasta and murder documentaries. Begrudgingly existing. Anxiety eating but unfortunately never gaining weight. Napping because trying to actually see things is really exhausting. Planning my gay agenda. The usual.

Hunting, fishing, playing guitar, fixing firearms, smoking large chunks of meat on one of my smokers, reading, building things, I could go on and on. I am a rangers, cowboys, and horns fan.

Programming and working on various digital projects, audiobooks, martial arts like BJJ and wrestling, cooking, lock picking, and ham radio.

My dad has been totally blind for about 45 years now, and he just loves doing things with his hands and his head. He can read and write in braille, he has his own auto shop when we were kids, he can rebuild transmissions (microchips changed things there), and now that he’s older, he loves those 3-d puzzles…he’s got like…all of them it seems. Let’s see…he loves reading, every time I go over there a new slew of boxes in the doorway with braille magazines and new books…basically, his interests that I think we’re always there (working with his hands), just made their way into his daily life. He also enjoys what appears to be asking his Google home inappropriate questions?

Crochet!! It's the easiest do when my eyes need a break. And the texture is a rlly nice stimulus

I read, listen to music, watch movies, cook, play with my puppy, go hiking and play dungeons and dragons.

Musician(bass, double bass, guitar, vocals), going to live shows, hiking and audiobooks are my main ones.

My wife and I got a new Sony television with the new Google operating system. It has many accessibility features for those either part of site or hard of hearing ( x90j ). So I've been fortunate to enjoy television and shows more often now with the bigger screen and more accessibility options.

I had retinopathy in both eyes but lost 80% of my vision in my right and 50% of my left. So I can still see a little but the 4K quality with the bonuses accessibility functions help.

I go to church frequently and my wife teaches in church and I help her most of the time. It's pretty fun.

I still try and play video games when I can on my computer. Mostly video games with large cartoony graphics and FPS games where there aren't a lot of snipers in the distance because I can't see them.

I play RPG games on a game console 1,20 meter distance from a 50 inch TV. Although I can't play all the games due to lack of contrast.

Running in order to stay in shape, cooking in order to get out of shape!

Audiobooks; boardgames; model railroading; tabletop RPGs; writing.

writing/listening to music, gaming, cooking. Recently taken up bonsai

Listening to audiobooks and podcasts, playing D&D, sometimes writing stories, occasionally cooking, watching stuff with my bf (YouTube or, at the moment, Star Wars Rebels)

I enjoy cooking, reading, all things parrot related, I have two lovely parrots and I look after them, train them and play with them as well as listen to YouTube about how to work with them, though just about all of the YouTubers assume that you can see. I hang out on things like Clubhouse and Discord with various groups of friends and I am also a Tupperware lady, though I'm not one of the ones that tries to push it on people or say I'm catching up with friends but only talk about Tupperware. That's not me. I have also studied reflexology and it is very handy to have a skill that I can use to give birthday and Christmas presents to people when I am short of cash. Knitting and playing music as well as singing are also hobbies of mine. Scarves and hats made out of feather wool or similar also make very cheap Christmas and birthday presents.

I did for a while a lot of self development stuff and introspective type of thing and reading, you could say self/help or theoretical psychology. Most of us call it typology. Was a type nerd for a bit. If curious I am estj 1w2 so/sp 162 that’s the basic stuff socionics I am lse dc te I think I am choleric melancholic cd on disc, learner, command, analytical, responsibility, and significance on clifton strengths. You get the idea. Haha! I studied a lot of the system not merely taken tests. I know the ins and outs to a lot of these not so much disc or temperment and mainly ennea socionics and mbti or western jung.


I enjoy worshiping God listening to sermons and gospel music and analyzing those lyrics.


I enjoy talking and studying appologetics, theology, and eschatology.

I do like learning and studying in general, I like talking and learning about politics and history.

I collect books. I have a great number of ebooks most of them nonfiction. I do have a sizable typology collection. I also have a good bit of history and political content. Some economics and philosophy. A good amount of psychology. And the list goes on. I have over 600 ebooks in my library if not more like 700.

I enjoy tinkering with technology audio or otherwise. I have built myself a bit of a computer lab here. I am also studying for a compsci degree though. I have an ipad, a surface pro, a chromebook, a windows hp laptop, a mac which is my main computer, a phone obviously, two apple watches, an echo studio, a google nest home thing, a big homepod that they don’t sell anymore, lots of wires and accessories. A few speakers and a drawerful of mics, and preamps. And studio equipment.


I liked and ran a youtube channel had a few versions where I did some typology stuff on it and typed people. Self development type thing and strengths and weaknesses.

I like food hunting or yelping and trying out different foods, and reviewing it and enjoy going places. Exploring my city, and I know it well.


I like traveling and getting around and if I had more money I’d do the actual traveling type stuff.


Volunteerism is fun. I enjoy helping people, mentoring, helping out in the community mostly in tech, advising advocating, and such. Helping people online answering tech questions.

Sometimes fitness and playing with my apple watch type of thing.

I enjoy knowing music analyzing the lyrics and such.


Evangelism. I enjoy going out there and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. Go out there with some music, a speaker and just have some fun.

Lost my ability to play FPS games so I play fighting games now.
