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

And then, to top it all off, thanks to #ScriptTalk, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have the right medication and how many are in the bottle. It's a great feeling to have access to my health information.

I know things can be frustrating for those of us who are blind, but it's good to focus on the good parts. Thanks to #Aira and #Uber I was able to make a quick trip to #Walmart to pick up a prescription with no assistance. Love it when I can do things independently!

Thank you #ResMed for making the controls for CPAP therapy in the #MyAir app usable via bluetooth and pretty accessible on the iPhone. Now, just one more tiny thing; can we also get to the controls for things like mask setting?

Has anyone tried the beta on their Apple watch? Thoughts?

It's amazing how much a battery's age kills your phone's power. Just got mine replaced yesterday. Normally, the phone would be on charge by now. Instead, it's around 40%. That's more like it!

Something amazing happened; I *gasp* got out of the chair when my uncle arrived, and then, now this is crazy, pulled my own bag to the restaurant. Isn't that wild? Ugh, just glad the saga is over. #DALFail #ACB2025 #ACB25

And... here we go! My sister is calling my aunt to come rescue me. Let the games begin, as I magically jump out of this stupid chair and go join my family to do, you know, normal things. #DALFail #ACB2025 #ACB25

Oh this is going to get even better! I have family coming back on this same flight. Wait until they find me here. And, my aunt is not quiet. This is going to be awesome! So, anyone know where the popcorn stand is? #DALFail #ACB2025 #ACB25

Oh, and you know what else I'm not doing? I'm not waiting around for someone to push me somewhere. I tried to tell the guy I didn't need this and take it, but I swear these people excel in ignoring me. #DALFail #ACB2025 #ACB25

Welp Dallas airport staff, looks like I'm raising hell again. Y'all pushed me to this gate and left me in this wheelchair with a 3 hour delay. I'll be damned if I just sit in here the whole time. Have I mentioned I hate this airport? #ACB2025 #ACB25

Just when I thought i'd have to figure out dinner at the airport... nope. The bar opened at 2:00. I am now stuffed from the brisket nachos I hadn't tried yet. I'll call this a good way to cap off my stay. #ACB2025 #ACB25

Just packed my things and about to check out. It's been fun! However, the games already begin. My flight is already delayed. Why is it that my return trips always seem to have some sort of BS involved? #ACB2025 ACB25

It’s nice to learn that these companies that we sometimes think are too big and don’t really think about us in the blind community actually do want to hear what we have to say and actually welcome our feedback. It’s encouraging. #ACB2025 #ACB25

These presenters so not ready for the challenge to have to describe themselves has been entertaining. I do appreciate the effort though. #ACB2025 #ACB25

LOL, so as is the norm for these voice assistant thing, it took the presenter all of a few minutes to unintentionally set the glasses off. Oh well, a demo fo BeMyEyes was a nice unplanned touch. #ACB2025 #ACB25
