His eyes are quite dark, but they look friendly. Most pictures I see of him, he's smiling. He has normal-sized white teeth. His nose points down a bit and is wide at the nostrils. He also has dimples. He's not an unattractive man. He looks young for his age.

Do you ever use that app where you can call sighted people and ask them to help you with things?

There’s a whole app called Be My Eyes, I use it for shopping, and yeah I have parents and friends to help me read paperwork and that sort of thing.

A mute guy told a deaf guy that a blind man saw a paraplegic running after a bald guy to tear up his hair.

It doesn’t offend me. But I’m not sure how it makes sense or why it’s funny...

How do you?

Peeking?

No peeking ? but I buy things that are interchangeable, jeans, and skirts, that’ll go with every possible top. My style is very girly Preppy. Think Alice on the show The Magicians

Not making sense its the funny part. It's a flurry of contradictions. Oh well, its not a joke when you have to explain it. I will grab my coat.

We have Be My Eyes. Tibs got a call recently on it. There are so many volunteers that we don't get many of them.

i meant Brewer was peeking......

Also, do you ever wonder what talked about celebrities or political figures look like?

some people I know what they look like because I saw before the sight loss but people like Nicki Minaj, or Andrew Yang or Bernie Sanders I’m curios about

Bernie, well, if you ever watched Curb Your Enthusiasm before you went blind, he looks a lot like Larry David. Wrinkled, bespectacled, your typical old New York Jewish guy.
Yang, well, how to put this delicately, there are some Asian guys who I can pick out of a lineup. Andrew Yang is not one of them. I dunno, his epicanthic fold makes his eyes seem to slope downward on the outer edges? I’m really reaching here.
Nicki Minaj, relatively light skin, straight hair that’s frequently dyed, heavy makeup, big boobs that occasionally pop out of her top.

Of course, when did your hydrocephalus read critical mass and cause you to become legally blind? How old were you?

geez I’m getting old, I’ll be 28 in April. I got my first pair of glasses at 13, the same time I started receiving treatment for the hydrocephalus, but I got my first white cane at 18, and my vision reached its worst point when I was 22. I basically make out colors with around 50% accuracy. I can’t see any details, and mostly navigate by sound and movements.
