. @AppleSupport I’ve noticed the accessibility shortcut magnifier takes a long time to load. I really need this feature to be fast for daily life activities like reading price tags and food menus in real life.

@TransLink where is the 33? We’ve been waiting on Cambie for half an hour.

Who knew booking a Covid booster was going to be as hard as getting t swift tickets 😡

@TransLink what’s up with the westbound 33? I’ve been waiting at Hillcrest since 4:45 and the times keep getting longer.

[Caroline Liu @Caroline5]

@duolingo would you consider making your app accessible to the visually impaired? There are many parts of the app that are very difficult for me to use.

In the 90s, women were less likely to negotiate their salaries than men. Today, they're more likely to ask... but still get fewer raises.

The solution is not to encourage women to advocate for themselves. It’s to change the stereotypes and systems that are biased against them.

Yay! I got the kanji tab on @duolingo 🙌 I just spent two months in Japan and kanji is essential.

@duolingo I’m travelling around the world and each time I switch cities the league icon totally disappears from the app’s bottom menu. What’s up? How do I continue in the league I was in this morning?

I was upset after visiting the eye doctor and said I wish I had better vision. My 5 year old says “well, you’re born with what your born with, you can’t just pop out your eyeballs and get new ones”

Parents, it starts at home. My daughter hasn’t even started kindergarten and already the gender bias is strong. Where are the girls?

[Caroline Liu @Caroline5]

My 5 year old is taking an Engineering class for spring break! What a fun intro to STEM.

At potty time, one of the boys says “there are fewer girls”. There are 3 girls and 12 boys. No line ups for the washroom! #winning

Can autocorrect please do better?

Duck!

Thank you to the random stranger who stopped to talk to me today. There are good people out there making a difference ❤️

@Ash_Stewart_ It’s a much better way to have a big party and invite the whole town. No need for wedding crashers when everyone is invited.

@gratefulness_me I need this app so much right now and I would love if you could enable iOS Dynamic Type so I can use larger fonts to read. I am visually impaired and I need big font.

“I am a responsible adult!”
“This is not permanent!”
“Other people have lived through this”
“Breath!”

But I’m not okay and that’s supposed to be okay.

[Caroline Liu @Caroline5]

@duolingo can you please increase your font size. I want to play the timed rounds but I use the zoom controller on iOS to read because the font is so small. If you made it bigger I could play too.

@AWCanada children can be vegetarian too, why are there no vegetarian kid’s packs? I couldn’t get a beyond burger with apple slices for my kiddo.
