Yesterday I registered to be a virtual participant in #NFB's Convention but I didn't get a confirmation email. Since my registration has gotten stuck in years past I figured I'd best check in to ensure that I didn't get stuck again. So I emailed to ask for help. Hopefully someone will be able to fix things right up. I don't know why their website seems to dislike me. I'm sure it'll all get sorted. 😀 @nationsblind

Watched the #NFB #documentary Love, Harold tonight. Alan Zweig manages to get this incredible level of honesty from the people he interviews. I always feel like they're telling him things they've never told anyone else.
