@AccessibleMedia Ordered some takeout on DoorDash. Received a message that a bag would be provided for delivery if it was essential for the order. Was notified that if I wanted to pick the order up, I would have to ask for a bag and pay for it.
@AccessibleMedia Absolutely, Easter should be a four-day weekend. It’s confusing with some things open and some things not open, so just give us the day off across-the-board. Plus, we need to recover from those big dinners.
@AccessibleMedia@KevinShawPro For more complex banking, nothing beats at the branch. When I opened the bank account for my business, it was helpful to have a personal connection with my bank manager. He even converted all of the paperwork into an accessible format because he knew that would be helpful..
@TheAgenda @mattgurney Well said. It would be great to do a segment on the importance of raising the rates for people on Ontario disability. Protest today at Queens Park.
@CBCQueensPark Food and housing are a luxury many on disbility supports cannot afford. Hope you can come to join the Ontario disability support program coalition protest at Queens Park
@ItsCarlyFox I’m so sorry to hear that… Same with Western. Also, very disappointed that Twitter has removed the Twitterific app, which made Twitter more accessible.
The reason I find academia so hard, is I am wired for a kind of love that this place cannot sustain. I think of ways to cite colleagues, to lift them up, to support them. All the time. It is not reciprocal with so many others. I find it painful. I'm not sure how long I can last.
@lordjeff I love it. I’ve been using it to write emails and even to write thank you letters. I know there’s concern about how it’s used in academia, but I also think it has a lot of benefits.
@TTChelps just would like to give a shout out to Wendy at High Park station for being so incredibly helpful. A somebody with a disability, extra assistance is always appreciated.
This year, created my holiday album using the audacity recording software. Learned lots of new tips and tricks. Happy and safe holiday and hope you enjoy the album. https://t.co/6adG4BCAr9
