@crumpler_eu gives the @crumpler brand a bad name. I have original Crumpler bags over 10 years old that still hold up, but my new bag in June arrived faulty and I’ve been trying to get a response from their support for 8 months now since they promised to send a replacement

Does the European Digital Markets Act apply to Northern Ireland? The EU-UK special arrangements state that "Northern Ireland remains aligned with EU single market rules for goods and therefore maintains access to this market” 🤔

For the past 3 years I’ve used @StarbucksUK website as a fantastic example of inaccessible design. I’m running another course tomorrow and thought I’d check and, yep still as bad as ever. I’d love to know if how they just can ignore complaints from disabled users year after year?

@oohgaryc it was great seeing Ghosty C cameo in Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero video 👻

Every time I see a post from @DACcessibility I get a craving for a sausage roll. I'm not saying that their logo looks exactly like @GreggsOfficial but it's similar enough for my brain to do funny things 😂

@maayanziv @youview @ThinkSmartbox It's so easy to forget that accessibility is as emotional as as it is functional.
Things are improving but a history of poor design has also made bad design aesthetics synonymous with accessibility, when it most certainly isn't.

@easyJet Hi, I know things are busy there but I've been trying to get in touch for 3 days to change a flight on Saturday and as a Flight Club member the only way to do it is via phone. Everytime I call I'm placed on hold and then the line eventually goes dead

Join us live at 10.30(BST) for GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) as we jump into VR to see what the current state of accessibility is like and discuss where it could go in future!

Consider what message an overlay tells people with disabilities who come to your site - we didn't build the site to be usable by you -so please use this after the fact side entrance because you're different than the customers we built it for #a11y

@dequesystems is there a legitimate way watch the videos outside of the website? I don't seem to be able to airplay the embedded videos to a bigger screen in order to watch comfortably and the link to vimeo says "Sorry, we couldn’t find that page" for all videos

@McKelvie Strattera made me feel wiped out and mentally cloudy for the best part of a year and it seemed to get worse the longer I took it. Switching back to Elvanse has me feeling like myself again

[Andrew Gribben @grib]

@discord @spyvingen I’ve sent a DM as this also happened to me and I’ve tried contacting support twice but only received an automated reply effectively saying no. I hope you have more luck @spyvingen

@DavidSm71208187 @ndawson84 I’m still thinking about this, do you guys fancy recording something just to see how it turns out? #podcasttherapy

[Andrew Gribben @grib]

@DavidSm71208187 @garethblack1 If ever a podcast needed a reaction video, it’s this one! So much going on in my head and so many complex feelings

[Andrew Gribben @grib]

@civicuk For me, that's my old Human Computer Interaction lecturer who showed us that stopping and thinking about the needs of others can make for a drastically better system. Thanks Terry!
