Great quote from @dequesystems Designing an #Accessible Experience course: "Make an effort to look past your own biases to recognize design patterns that cause exclusion."
Great quote from @dequesystems #accessibility fundamentals course: "If you want to create ugly designs, you're free to do so, but don't use accessibility as an excuse."

Not surprised to hear about #badservice at @PizzaNova. My kid was refused tap water there today.
Replying to @PizzaNova
@PizzaNova Visted Toronto on the weekend and got hungry on Saturday night. Shambolic customer service. I am off Pizza for the foreseeable future.
Hey @PizzaNova Danforth and Woodmount, I can’t believe you have a rule of only allowing one glass of tap water per family. Next time we’ll head over to @PizzaPizzaLtd and skip the lecture from your staff. #cheap
My new favorite #WCAG guideline, level A 6.1.1: Give a shit. If you only want to follow one guideline...this could be the most impactful one!
In response to the @stevefaulkner "Bypass Bollocks" WCAG success criterion, I present a new WCAG proposal that I would love feedback on. WCAG A 6.1.1: Give a Shit. useragentman.com/wcag-wishli… (with apologies to the W3C). #a11y #webdevelopment

Finally received my TV from @BestBuy with a cracked screen. @BestBuy says I have to pay for them to deliver a new one to my house. #BadService!
Replying to @BestBuy
@BestBuy consider replacing your delivery partner @PurolatorInc. Driver couldn’t find my house that’s on google maps so I have to miss work twice. @PurolatorInc, give drivers the ability to call recipients to ask questions.
