@Uber_Support @Uber I moved my business two years ago and you are the only ones who haven’t updated the address- how do I do this?

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

@British_Airways I’ve called your contact number twice with an important question re: a flight next week and received two very different answers. Do you have an email address I can reach out to?

#Vancouver, if you can smell the smoke from the fire on East Hastings, **close your windows right now!** If you're outside, put on a mask/get indoors. Source at the Fire Department tells me that the fire is burning plastic and asbestos and the smoke is a significant health hazard

@eireannachros @WestJet This is the only time I’ve heard this as well, despite dozens of flights with my chair. The two people seated beside me were in my travelling party and that was the only reason I was allowed to switch. It’s time for airplanes to be REALLY accessible!

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

He allowed my friend to switch seats with me as she had the aisle. But only after I repeatedly refused and told him I couldn’t get to the window easily. He sighted that if there was an emergency others would need to climb over me and it was unsafe. @WestJet 8/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

He was very concerned for the safety of able bodied passengers in a hypothetical emergency but not my very real comfort and safety as a disabled person. @WestJet this is wrong. #ableism 9/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

Once on the crowded @WestJet plane the flight attendant told me I had to sit in the window seat and it had always been policy. That’s not true either. I always sit in the aisle because transferring is difficult. He insisted it was a safety concern. 7/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

The aisle chair strap didn’t fit so the #LAS employee didn’t properly strap me in. Which was dangerous. The @westjet agents watched him move me without assistance or proper procedure. Passengers and staff stared. I panicked. #ableism 6/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

@WestJet agents and #LAS staff had an entire family trying to board while I was transferring. They watched me be unintentionally exposed, they stood directly behind me as my partner helped me which was distressing and potentially dangerous as he was distracted and upset #ableism

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

So @WestJet - let’s talk about the #ableism and rights violations I experienced today. I was told I have to board “second” and that was always the policy. That’s a lie. I know my rights. When I was transferring to the aisle chair people were still boarding. 4/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

Here you can see @WestJet agents boarding other passengers before me, despite confirming I needed an aisle chair and was waiting to preboard. When I asked why I wasn’t boarding first they told me they don’t do that. That the policy was changed. 3/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

The Air Carrier Access Act states that passengers with disabilities who request
preboarding must be allowed to
"board the plane before all other passengers." This is to allow us space to board safely and with dignity and privacy. @WestJet 2/

[michelle.arcane @ArcaneMichelle]

Does @WestJet understand that there are laws that protect disabled people from rights violations? And that there are explicit laws that give disabled people rights to privacy, dignity and protection from discrimination. Today for WestJet flight 1789 I had my rights violated. 1/

九尾の狐の伝説が残る、殺生石にひとりでやってきました��

縄でぐるっと巻かれた真ん中の大きな岩がそれ…

のはずなのですが、なんと岩は真っ二つに割れて、縄も外れていました。

漫画だったらまさに封印が解かれて九尾の狐に取り憑かれるパターンで、見てはいけないものを見てしまった気がします。
