I loved working on this partnership to feature Charlotte Pride's accessibility planning.

It was an incredible experience to partner with @cltpride to ensure people with access needs knew how they would be accommodated during the festival.
Plus, we found lots of #Accessible businesses in-and-around the festivities to highlight too! Check it out!

I say, "let's see how fast we can get that seat arm raised so you can be comfortable." I mean I'm kinda cool like that. Then we approach the flight like we're in it together--which every other passenger is, too. Why on earth would you handle it any other way?

[Shira Rose @theshirarose]

Every time I get on a plane, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach — terrified that the person sitting next to me will take a picture of me and I’ll end up being mocked on the internet.

Put your anger on the airlines for making seats smaller & smaller.

Did I read that correctly? That "in this world of chaos and contradiction, TWITTER is a haven of calm and comedic relief?

Give me a few minutes to process...
...wait one more minute...
Nah, can't get there. I'll report back!

[Pablo Mendoza @DrunkPilotPablo]

@rickygervais Ah, my little friend, you know why we stay?

'Cos in this world of chaos and contradiction, Twitter is a haven of calm and comedic relief!

@EdKrassen @TurmericBae Yea pretty sure it’s not the first cocaine done there. Hasn’t Johnny Depp been to the White House several times?

Denver PrideFest last year broke records as it welcomed half-a-million people. But despite these attendance records, barriers still exist for people with disabilities https://t.co/PhtuRDJwxz

[Elysia Everett Burns @ElysiaEverett]

I think today might be shameless plug day. Friendly Like Me was featured on ABC local news in Denver (channel 7) on making pride celebrations accessible. Video within the article!

@BaddCompani @sharle6 right...he was "incited"...

The sound of kids playing...the crack of ozone from the waves... access matters.

[FriendlyLikeMe @FriendlyLikeMe]

When you think of the times you've been to the beach...those memories are visceral. If you consider your life without these memories...the case for #accessible beaches really makes itself!

Gun violence is a tragedy. But structural ableism makes the lives of those disabled by gun violence exponentially worse. The best way to help victims of gun violence is the make a more accessible world.

@FriendlyLikeMe makes the Sacramento Bee. "There's an app for that."

@FriendlyLikeMe was featured in a @Frommers article that discusses why people with access needs must make very detailed plans when they travel. Help crowdsource accessibility information & take back the hours of reconnaissance you do to intuit whether a place can accommodate you.

[Frommer's @Frommers]

With the new @FriendlyLikeMe app, travelers with disabilities can find accessible hotels, restaurants, and attractions https://t.co/wCdiedMYrh
