@UPSHelp .@UPS My package was to be delivered without my permission to a locker after only one dropoff attempt at my home. Especially troubling as lockers are inaccessible to me because of my visual disability. Any plans to change this policy, or more importantly, the locker design?

[Annie Leist @artaccessannie]

@UPS Why is it OK for you to take a package addressed to my home & decide without my permission to deliver it to UPS pickup lockers that are totally inaccessible to people who are blind or have low vision - like ME? Come to think of it, are those inaccessible lockers even legal?

Rather than focusing on the cost of providing #a11y, focus on the cost of *not* providing it. - @anillife in #KCLEAD keynote

[Annie Leist @artaccessannie]

#NFB's @anillife is hilarious, but his blank hands and invisible video are a seriously meaningful demonstration. #a11y #KCLEAD

[Annie Leist @artaccessannie]

I've said it before, and now it's officially confirmed by the amazing @anillife, who KNOWS: #Blind people DO watch TV! #KCLEAD #NFB #a11y

@LeonardLopate Is creepiness purely visual or are there other aspects? How does that impact people who are blind or don't see well?

[Annie Leist @artaccessannie]
