She/her/hers. Lover of romance; romantic realist. Unhealthy obsession with carbs+all things sweet/savory. Ask me about Viva Giraffe for fun. #MinhForTheWin
1st visit to new dentist & I only expect the typical x-rays & a dental cleaning. Instead I’m now periodically checking to make sure I still have a nose after several shots of novacane for a gum treatment. Good news, my nose is still attached. Bad news, I am 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Physical discomfort aside, every time this happens, the emotional impact cannot be emphasized enough. I had an amazing day going to a musical & dinner w/friends. Instead of of joy, this is how I’m ending my night, with frustration & fury that our system allows this to continue.
Another night, another #guidedog denial with #lyft. This time in the cold & rain with a hardworking Viva who just wants to go home for dinner & snuggles. Reported & got the usual reply , but so generous, they gave me a $10 credit for my experience. I am grateful it wasn’t $5 🙄
So let me get this straight
Republicans are COMPLETELY silent on the Arizona GOP candidate who was arrested for masturbating near a preschool cuz he was “stressed”
But they attack and smear hardworking doctors and teachers as groomers and pedophiles?
Do I have that right? 🤦🏻♀️
@ChanceyFleet No, I don’t buy that @dequesystems did not know how most of the blind community feels about her. Giving her such a big platform and honoring her as a keynote speaker when she has done nada for digital a11y is an affront to legit advocates doing the hard dirty work. I’m mad.
Interested in learning how pedals work, how to build a pedal board or use power supplies? Check out episode 2, which will hopefully answer all your questions! Please also let me know if you have any feedback. https://t.co/uhjcxIF6lt
Took a ride with 2 #guidedogs and @lyft sent me a warning that driver gave me low rating. Curious how that is. And now trying to send support message in app results in errors and service animal helpline won’t help. It shouldn't be this hard.
On #WorldMentalHealthDay I’m grateful I didn’t succeed in ending my life 5 years ago, that I had a good support system, that I had the resources I need to get and feel better. Some days are still hard af, but I’m living and thriving and cherishing every precious moment I’m here.
My mom to me: I just saw a video about a bunch of Viet celebs who have died from sudden heart attacks because they shower at night! You like to shower at night, so you better watch out. I think further scientific study needs to happen for this conclusion, mom. I love her. 😂
Me: super cheerful/friendly/effervescent in a starter email. Reply: grumpy sounding 1 liner. Now I feel like that weird/extra person. Yes emails are a pain, but can we try to bring a little sparkle/human connection into a drudgery? ... No? Just me?
No entrant from IDC? They consistently put out some of the highest quality AD, from writing to narration to qc and mixing. The #Blind Community deserves to know how these finalists were selected.
Thinking when @airaio gets around to implementing technical skills for agents that typing be 1 of the requirements. Had an agent take 17 minutes to typ the front and back of an insurance card. Maybe I’m not being realistic? But other agents have done same task in shorter time.
I got a text from an unknown number. She was very insistant that she was talking to Kevin. "Didn't you save my number?" No, I'm not Kevin. Finally, "Sorry, I thought I saved the right number from a party." Now I really want her to find Kevin and fall in love happily ever after.
@blindconfucius Thanks. I will have to do this. This is only murders in the building on Hulu. have only watched a couple of episodes, but even that it’s a mystery/crime drama, details are really important.
You know #AudioDescription is bad when you get more relevant details to the story from sighted friends watching the show with you. Huge pet peeve. Any way to give feedback to whatever company provides the AD?
