"Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher."

Can blind people tell if a dog is friendly by its smell? Or do they have to pet the dog and see how it reacts to touch?

Navigating the World with More Than Sight: How Blind People "Read" Dogs

For blind individuals, navigating the world relies heavily on senses beyond sight. When it comes to encountering a dog, the question of friendliness can be a crucial one. Here's a breakdown of how blind people assess a dog's temperament, revealing a world rich in sensory detail:

1. The Power of Scent: While smell doesn't definitively tell the whole story, blind people can glean valuable information from a dog's odor. A relaxed dog might emit a neutral scent, while a stressed or aggressive animal might have a stronger, potentially unpleasant odor due to elevated stress hormones.

2. Decoding Vocal Cues: A dog's bark, growl, whine, or whimper are all forms of communication. A playful bark sounds different from a territorial growl. Blind people become adept at interpreting these vocalizations, understanding the emotional state of the dog.

3. Body Language Through Touch: While petting isn't always the initial step, a gentle touch can reveal a wealth of information. A relaxed dog might offer a loose wagging tail and a soft lean, while a tense dog might stiffen or pull away. This physical interaction allows for a more nuanced understanding of the dog's body language.

4. Context is Key: The environment plays a significant role. Encountering a dog on its home turf might elicit more guarded behavior compared to a neutral park setting. Blind people often pay close attention to surroundings to understand the context of the encounter.

5. The Value of Training and Experience: Just like anyone else, experience plays a crucial role. Blind individuals who interact with dogs regularly become more skilled at interpreting subtle cues. Additionally, training programs can equip them with the knowledge and confidence to navigate canine encounters effectively.

Beyond Canine Companionship:

It's important to remember that not every dog encounter is about potential companionship. For a blind person using a guide dog, recognizing signs of aggression in other dogs is crucial for ensuring safety during walks. Understanding a dog's temperament allows them to maintain control and navigate potentially risky situations.

Technology as a Tool:

Technology is also evolving to assist blind people in understanding their surroundings. For example, some apps are being developed that analyze sounds and translate them into text messages, potentially offering real-time information about a dog's vocalizations.

The Importance of Communication:

Open communication remains key. When encountering a blind person with a guide dog, it's always a good practice to ask permission before interacting with the dog. This ensures safety and allows the blind person to assess the situation comfortably.

A World of Sensory Perception:

While sight plays a critical role in human interaction, the world of a blind person is far from devoid of information. By honing their other senses and utilizing different strategies, blind individuals can navigate the world confidently, understanding the nuances of canine encounters and building positive relationships with these furry companions.

crows use tools and like to slide down snowy hills. today we saw a goose with a hurt foot who was kept safe by his flock - before taking off, they waited for him to catch up. there are colors only butterflies see. reindeer are matriarchical. cows have best friends and 4 stomachs and like jazz music. i watched a video recently of an octopus making himself a door out of a coconut shell.

i am a little soft, okay. but sometimes i can't talk either. the world is like fractal light to me, and passes through my skin in tendrils. i feel certain small things like a catapult; i skirt around the big things and somehow arrive in crisis without ever realizing i'm in pain.

in 5th grade we read The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time, which is about a young autistic boy. it is how they introduced us to empathy about neurotypes, which was well-timed: around 10 years old was when i started having my life fully ruined by symptoms. people started noticing.

i wonder if birds can tell if another bird is odd. like the phrase odd duck. i have to believe that all odd ducks are still very much loved by the other normal ducks. i have to believe that, or i will cry.

i remember my 5th grade teacher holding the curious incident up, dazzled by the language written by someone who is neurotypical. my teacher said: "sometimes i want to cut open their mind to know exactly how autistics are thinking. it's just so different! they must see the world so strangely!" later, at 22, in my education classes, we were taught to say a person with autism or a person on the spectrum or neurodivergent. i actually personally kind of like person-first language - it implies the other person is trying to protect me from myself. i know they had to teach themselves that pattern of speech, is all, and it shows they're at least trying. and i was a person first, even if i wasn't good at it.

plants learn information. they must encode data somehow, but where would they store it? when you cut open a sapling, you cannot find the how they think - if they "think" at all. they learn, but do not think. i want to paint that process - i think it would be mostly purple and blue.

the book was not about me, it was about a young boy. his life was patterned into a different set of categories. he did not cry about the tag on his shirt. i remember reading it and saying to myself: i am wrong, and broken, but it isn't in this way. something else is wrong with me instead. later, in that same person-first education class, my teacher would bring up the curious incident and mention that it is now widely panned as being inaccurate and stereotypical. she frowned and said we might not know how a person with autism thinks, but it is unlikely to be expressed in that way. this book was written with the best intentions by a special-ed teacher, but there's some debate as to if somebody who was on the spectrum would be even able to write something like this.

we might not understand it, but crows and ravens have developed their own language. this is also true of whales, dolphins, and many other species. i do not know how a crow thinks, but we do know they can problem solve. (is "thinking" equal to "problem solving"? or is "thinking" data processing? data management?) i do not know how my dog thinks, either, but we "talk" all the same - i know what he is asking for, even if he only asks once.

i am not a dolphin or reindeer or a dog in the nighttime, but i am an odd duck. in the ugly duckling, she grows up and comes home and is beautiful and finds her soulmate. all that ugliness she experienced lives in downy feathers inside of her, staining everything a muted grey. she is beautiful eventually, though, so she is loved. they do not want to cut her open to see how she thinks.

a while ago i got into an argument with a classmate about that weird sia music video about autism. my classmate said she thought it was good to raise awareness. i told her they should have just hired someone else to do it. she said it's not fair to an autistic person to expect them to be able to handle that kind of a thing.

today i saw a goose, and he was limping. i want to be loved like a flock loves a wounded creature: the phrase taken under a wing. which is to say i have always known i am not normal. desperate, mewling - i want to be loved beyond words.

loved beyond thinking.

#spilled ink #writeblr #personal #please don't ask me to talk on my experience on the spectrum lol. i hate how ppl talk to me about it #i really try not to write so specifically about it #bc inevitably someone talks to me like im a child #i think this is the first time i've ever openly identified with it but i've been hinting for years #i might delete this. feels big. #the thing is that being on the spectrum actually IS a spectrum #and if u say ur autistic #inevitably someone makes an assumption about ur needs/symptoms #please do not treat me differently than u usually would. like.... we can tell when you do #and like i mention. i do appreciate the effort. i do truly appreciate the effort. #but it still feels like... #when i was blind. sometimes people kind of did the same-ish thing. #they'd find out i was blind and start talking really loudly? #and while i KNOW they're just trying to help. it would be like. i'd be trying to find #the right way into a building (sometimes only 1 door is unlocked and i couldn't see the signs posted about where to go) #and ppl would be like ''OH UR BLIND? YES SO THIS IS A DOOR. IT OPENS INTO THE BUILDING. IT IS LOCKED NOW." #''A DOOR CAN BE FOUND IN MANY LOCATIONS.'' #and it feels like. when i admit to being autistic #someone comes screeching into my life being like THIS IS A DOOR.

Imagine you are Lady Jessica. You’re bred and trained all your life to help create the prophesied “savior” of the world. In a mix of your own pride and love for the child’s father, you bear that savior. But it’s too early. Those who trained you say he is not the one. And because of it he’s in danger. You then must travel to a place that only wants to kill you, and nearly succeeds in the process. The only way to live, the only way your son lives, is to ensure that the prophecy becomes true. That your son really is that savior. So you do, you make it true, because it has to be true. You force fate. He doesn’t die. Hundreds die. Then thousands. Now millions. Your son is not only alive, but the emperor of the known universe. Worshiped like a god because you made him a god, and did it so well you convinced yourself of his divinity, his prophecy. He is near mad with every possible future laid before him, regrets and blood stain his hands. But he is alive. Wasn’t it all worth it? Was it?

#dune #lady Jessica going to inconceivably extreme lengths to save the life of her children is something so personal to me #no coherent thoughts I was just going insane after watching the movie and seeing how desperate she is to keep her children safe #and how it grows into genuine fervor for the prophecy even though she forced it!! #motherhood is blinding

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #tf2 medic #emesis blue #Or emesis red there's a lot of red in this one #I very much enjoy his constant distress frown and 2k yard stare in this movie; he's trying so hard to figure out what's happening #He's probably just trying to see without his glasses; everything is a bit more scary when you realise Doc doesn't actually see a lot after #he loses his glasses from fighting both of the Conagher brothers. He's just. Winging every near death situation half blind #Anyways I really like how he physically changes from being the most calm and seemingly sane person without any agenda into the doom slayer #First he leaves his medigun behind; he loses his glasses; he takes off his labcoat and gloves; there's blood on him; he's marked with the M #Just a really cool way of amplifying his change of personality and increasing insanity

the Real mystery of death note is that Light somehow convinced the fandom that he is the socially competent one and L is the recluse with no social skills. Light thought it was realistic to respond to the emo freak at his college who said he was a world famous detective after hunching over like a gremlin taking his shoes off in public and sitting like a frog was "if you're telling the truth i respect you greatly." L frequently performs social tests on people close to him to see what they'll say with the goal of studying their responses and picked up a call from his friend in a potentially volatile situation by flawlessly imitating a douchebag friend who parties too much while likely never having been to a bar in his life. they are not the same.

#death note #dn #l lawliet #light yagami #matsuda and L ARE friends and i will die on this hill #okay but the truth is they are both SO out of touch from society #the difference is that #light has been sheltered by every person he ever encountered being blinded by his intelligence and good looks #and doesn't have a clue how normal people interact with each other #and L has spent years studying human beings like specimens in a lab specifically for the purpose of figuring out how normal people interact #L can imitate Light can dazzle #very different

For some reason, there’s nothing on earth more infuriating than mischaracterization of your favorite robin

#specifically the robins is a special kind of anger #because. mischaracterization happens to characters all the time and it’s always frustrating but for ROBINS specifically it is more than that #because when YOUR robin is being fatally misunderstood and given his or her brother’s personality it is truly white knuckle blinding rage #robin #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #stephanie brown #damian wayne #this is about all of them

I wanted to talk about this and didn't find a post i could reblog so I'm doing it myself. I loved how even before the kiss reveal we saw the little ways in which August is treating Day like a child vs. Mhok who is always giving Day as much as he wants/needs. He gives him agency.

Like you get scenes like this:

contrasted with Mhok's

and again August with the

and later in the episode I saw him tying Day's shoelaces

Like Day, because of his crush, was finding excuses thinking it's just August being extra caring because of his love for Day but really it was August thinking that Day can't do anything himself.

I talked about this before but I loved the moment with Mhok in the bookshop and the Last Twilight book couple of episodes ago. Because it showed how much Mhok understands Day and understands that Day does want to do things himself and he wants people to not feel pity for him or not make him feel like he's some helpless child. Mhok is there to guide him and help him push his boundaries but he let's Day eat by himself with few basic instructions, he let's him take pictures of his toast by himself, bring sauces for his food from the cupboard by himself. He's helping him and guiding him but knows that Day wants to do these things on his own if he can. The solution to a stumped toe is not stop eating food in the kitchen but buying big foamy slippers that protect your fingers from getting stumped on the corner of the kitchen table.

#last twilight #last twilight the series #and obviously august has known/ been in contact with day for a short time #and so he obviously doesn't know all #but you look at gee who's also treating day the same as before #so you know it's possible to get it right #even if you've only just now started to interact with a blind person
