Hi @TicketmasterCS I am not able to resell an ‘accessible’ ticket on your ticket exchange platform. I paid the same £ as everyone else for that ticket, but the’re able to resell their ticket if they cannot attend, which I am told I am not able to do with an ‘accessible’ ticket.

Thus, if you need an accessible ticket, you do not have the same rights as other patrons. This is discrimination & you refuse to help or comment. You are penalising us for having a disability & needing an accessible ticket. This is in breach of the equalities act & poor service.

No help via email. How can I progress my complaint up the chain? I would like it resolved for me and other disabled patrons going forward. This is the worst customer service I have ever received. How can you so blatantly discriminate? #Disability #Equality #Discrimination #RNIB
Email between me and customer services, telling me they will not comment on discrimination and will not help me with my query.

Just let that sink in. The entire engineering team, dedicated to making the platform accessible, fired from their jobs.

So, the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter is no longer. We had so much more to do, but we worked hard! There aren't very many people that have had the opportunity to make such an important global platform like Twitter accessible, but we understood the mission.

Along with me, my entire engineering team has been let go. Before I get into my own thoughts, I want to honor them. If you are looking to hire some brilliant accessibility engineers, keep reading.

Making accessibility changes on such a large scale is no easy job, I know from experience. Things changed a lot on Twitter for the better and this new development does not want to make me continue to use the platform. It is wrong on absolutely every level. #VoteWithYourFeet

I am officially no longer the Engineering Manager for the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter. I have words. 🧵

I am once again asking you not to treat Google’s dev•to as a source for vetted, accessible patterns. Its post on tool-tips is… well… problematic: github.com/GoogleChrome/web.… Google needs to pay an accessibility expert to review its posts. It can afford to.

content: Tool-tip post has problematic accessibility info · Issue #8959 · GoogleChrome/web.dev

What page(s) need to be updated? https://web.dev/building-a-tooltip-component/ Why is this update needed? 2 significant changes needed, 3 changes warranted, 2 bits of feedback: 1. The demo is 404 I...

We want our concerts to be accessible to everyone, and for everyone to have the best possible experience. Here are a few things we are doing for the rest of the tour. If you would benefit from any of these initiatives, or have any suggestions please email [email protected].

Word of the day is 'mafting' (18th century): overpowered by stifling heat and an oppressive lack of air.

How is it possible this word has been missing from my vocabulary?! Definitely one I will be using in the future

Word of the day: SHEMOMECHAMA (შემომეჭამა; Georgian) - when you did not mean to eat it all, but accidentally did

History makers. Record breakers. Game changers. Incredible scenes at the Trafalgar Square fan party as England wins the #WEURO2022. We couldn’t be more proud of the @Lionesses if we tried.

#BetterCallSaul episodes just released and still no #AudioDescription – what happened #Netflix? You used to lead the way, now you are one of the worst platforms for #Accessibility I am so sick of fighting for equality in basic every day things. @sonalirai @RNIB_campaigns
Stacy Scott@BooksBuilt4All30 May 2022
¿QUIEN MATO A SARA? “Viewed by 55m people, worldwide!” – according to #Netflix and yet, no #AudioDescription. So, I am not able to watch this either. @netflix found the manners to reply yet, or should #Disabled people be seen and not Heard? I am a customer. #RNIB, same question!
