And to top all of that off, I called to see what I could do about it. My options? Use another device, or go to a store. Are you going to pay for my Uber? Probably not. #XFinity #FAIL

Oh it gets better! Because I could not identify myself with these clear pictures of my ID, my order is canceled. Oh, I can place a new one, but only if I provide said pictures. #XFinity do better!

I am disgusted. #XFinity requires photo ID to verify an order. Fine, but you *have* to take the pic, not upload. This is a problem when you are totally blind! It should be illegal to require ID with no upload photo option.

This #SimplePTT radio has already come in handy. Was planning to head out for dinner. Nope, was told there are storms headed this way. Sure enough, here they are. Now, can they clear out so I can hit the Oyster bar before I leave? #ACB2026

This is a first. A grumpy toddler? Yep, that's happening in this session. #Aira #ACB2026

One gripe, just because we're out in the hall, that does not mean you can or should be using your phone, as in talking on it. You're still in the session. Yes, someone was doing this. #Aira #ACB2026

And so, the #Aira event is so popular that some of us are literally listening from the hall. No, not kidding. #ACB2026

Well, bummer. I was hoping #Waymo would be rolled out in St. Louis before I made it there for convention, but sadly it is not.

Went to my parents' house to enjoy some 4th of July festivities. Friday night, I took my #Agiga glasses to a fireworks display. It didn't describe all of them, but it gave me enough info in live AI mode to feel included. 1/2

On the 4th, we watched the 250th celebration events. I put the glasses to the test with the displays on the TV. Not perfect, but in talking with my parents, again, live AI gave me enough to feel included. 2/2

Really #TMobile? Weren't you just at the #ACBConvention last year being so proud of your accessibility? So why is it that today when trying to view the Tuesday offers I can't due to an annimation that makes the app basically unusable for a VoiceOver user?

I am reminded again today how much I appreciate apps like #BeMyEyes and #Aira. Today a fave artist posted some pics on their timeline. Previously, I'd just scroll past and miss out. Today, I enjoyed the precious pics they shared of their family enjoying the beach.
Hey #Amazon, shame on you! I am figuring out thanks to #AlexaPlus that one can no longer interact with skills via keyboard. It's a luxury for me, but what about those who literally can't speak? #DoBetter

Wow, literally just watched part of the Indy 500 with my #EchoVision glasses. The live AI was able to tell me as the TV changed focus. That was wild!

Seriously #Apple, if I wanted to filter my messages into categories, IE spam, I would do it myself. Automagically doing it for me was not cute... at all.

And, here we go again. #Starbucks has made yet another game that says "Not compatible with screen readers." Well, thanks. I didn't want #StarbucksForLife anyway. #Fail #Inaccessible

Wow, #Inaccessibility strikes again. I booked a ride for a friend with #Uber. It was canceled. It wasimpossible to dispute my case with #iOS because the buttons weren't labeled, and the same was true for #Android, but thanks to the describe screen feature I could make it work.

Tried to order from #Doordash today. I couldn't access the promo code section using my #Iphone. However, #Android worked, but it had unlabeled rating buttons. What a hot mess!

Just... wow. Thanks a lot @starbucks! This from an email about their new game. “ The Pumpkin Spice Land game is not accessible for users relying on screen readers or keyboard–only navigation.” #Fail #DoBetter
