Accessibility engineer, traveller, ace cook, animal nut, and nice guy ... well, girl - but "nice girl" sounds kind of prudish.

.@Match are a bunch of rip-off merchants. My friend completely deleted her account, and they restored it and continue taking money from her bank. Don’t trust this company.

.@MoneySavingExp do you know that your app and website have serious accessibility issues that prevent some people with disabilities from doing important things like logging into the credit club or looking up Best buy mortgages?

#Aerlingus have to be the worst airline for booking a flight with an assistance dog. No matter how I try to navigate their complicated, chaotic procedures, they always tell me I’m doing it wrong. So much easier with #Ryanair

The beginning of the end for Twitter accessibility? #Twitter #a11y #Fail
Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores. Twitter’s unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no path forward. Please read our blog for more information🖖 blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01…

Cat trapped in an empty house since yesterday morning. @PSNIArdsNDown not interested. @USPCA_Official not interested. Cancel animal welfare service not operating until Monday. What do we do?

This afternoon, the government appears quietly to have changed the guidance for holders of national security clearance, removing the requirement for officials to flag any concerns they have over individual or organisational practices which may breach security procedures. (1/2)

As we all said....haven't been wrong on any of my predictions on Brexit...not because I am a clever clogs...but because it was blinkin obvious...
Here’s your Aussie trade deal. 20 regression for animal rights and injected hormones. Previously banned practices suddenly part of our shopping experience. Disgraceful . #BrexitDisaster

The #CluedUpp geogames app is the most inaccessible app I’ve ever come across. @CluedUppHQ do you care about players with disabilities like me? If so please fix urgently and avoid the risk of being sued. Do the right thing. #accessibility #a11y #fail

Just been speaking to Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce. I never thought I would live to see the day when on a show of hands in a Belfast business gathering close to 100 percent said they had no trust in or respect for the Tory PM and government. 100pc - Brexit going badly 1/4

.@sinnfeinireland in your party political broadcast on ITV tonight you claim to be on the side of people with disabilities. But no audio description so didn’t understand the Irish content being blind. @a11y @fail

.@sue_writer did you seriously set your sprinkler on a blind orchestra as they were rehearsing? If so that’s really low as they wouldn’t have seen it coming. Why not just ask them politely to tone it down?

Accessibility isn’t more work, you were just cutting corners before. The work was incomplete.

.@Translink_NI how come you force people to pay their bus fares using cash yet your drivers don’t carry change? I’ve just been issued a change receipt that I must exchange for cash at a bus station I’m not going to. #fail

Please take my advice and never enter into a recurring card payment when buying an @theaa_uk insurance policy in someone else's name. They won't alert you before they take money, and they won't refund you. Will never use #theaa_uk again. Very dodgy practices. #insurance #fail

WARNING: Don't take out a recurring card payment with #theaa_uk. I paid my ex's car insurance last August, then called @theaa_uk on 3 April 2020 to withdraw consent after we split. This morning they took £560 from my bank without my permission and they are refusing to refundme

.@tfl staff refused to assist a blind traveller, Who then ended up in the middle of a protest trying to get to her destination. Was this due to policy change or human error? #tfl #a11y #fail youtu.be/Ko9b6RMttJM

"Google encourages developers and publishers to design and build products and applications with accessibility in mind." I just downloaded Android Studio as a blind developer and it's totally inaccessible. Come on @Google - you can do better than this. #Google #Android #a11y #fail
