Kevin LaRose, #VoteBlue2026<p>Certainly worth reflecting on. I’ve never read Diary Of A Young Girl and we have it in <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Braille</span></a> here on our bookshelves. I should carve out some time to read it. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Blueteamsherpa/114503150920850124" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@Blueteamsher</span><span class="invisible">pa/114503150920850124</span></a></p>
Tanya McGee Wheatley 💜🥰<p>Good night! <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a><br>1. My resistance bands arrived today. That’s another addition to our workout routine. 💪 <br>2. Finished a chapter in Braille. 📚<br>3. Hubs and I started a new book today written by the host of the Crime Junky podcast, Ashley Flowers. I’m liking it so far.<br>Bonus: The next Shifters Unbound book is released tomorrow!<br>2nd bonus: The sound of birdsong I’ve missed since my hearing deteriorated. I can hear them again using the AirPods Pro 2. <br>Sleep well and may your dreams take you to the stars. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/GoodNIght" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodNIght</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Braille</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AudioBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AudioBooks</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/PhysicalFitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhysicalFitness</span></a></p>

Therefore there will be little to no developers for that device.</p>

It turns out they don’t have her more well known books like Old Filth and A Long Way from Verona. I ordered the only one they have available now which is The Flight of the Maidens from 2000 which arrived this morning.

Steve<p>Curious if anyone knows of publicly available online resources for any kind of ready-to-emboss <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Braille</span></a> books in non-English languages?</p>
Sarah Matthews<p>Took a very interesting trip to Brighton today to test some <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>braille</span></a> for the London Royal Parks which is going to be displayed outside next to a tactile model of a temple. Unfortunately it was barely legible as the dots were scratchy under the fingers and the lines weren’t straight so the braille bled together. They’ve got some work to do but good on them for actually getting it tested out by a braille reader! <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a></p>

Georgiana BrummellI love when people sell things for the blind and say "see pictures"! Anyway, can someone please tell me what this is? I doubt it's a Perkins. Could it be a New Hall?
