Disappointed in the @Starbucks #StarbucksSummerGame since the color choices for the game are hard to decipher – pink and orange are really similar. Ran thru a simulator and for some CVDs (color vision deficiency) the view is EASIER. Pick better colors! #a11y #inaccessible

@iamharaldur @OnnuJonuSon I know you released the song hours ago (been on repeat for me over here!) so no rush, but I'm eager to have access to the lyrics! Do you have plans to publish them somewhere while music apps "approve" lyrics (a lot of indep. artists I know have to wait a while)? Thx! #deaf

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

This is quite beautiful - especially the backstory, highly recommend reading the thread. Congratulations, Halli!

to confirm if I DID just experience an earthquake in San Francisco, Google isn't the most up-to-date... but Twitter? Y'all are reliable–thank you.

[mat honan ☀️ @mat]

As we near The End, I’m glad to see Twitter can still be reliably used to notify the rest of the world when San Francisco has an earthquake.

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

Impact starts small. Thanks George for the share of what is still a relevant piece!

[George Musser @gmusser]

Great tips on how to conduct an inclusive Zoom meeting that ensures accessibility for d/Deaf and neurodiverse participants. By @jake_deh, whom you should definitely follow for additional advice. https://t.co/nnBfxUP7Rt

@nycsouthpaw I'm cringing so much as a deaf individual who appreciates such accommodations 🤦‍♂️

[Patrick deHahn @patrickdehahn]

Imagine if a disabled journalist did this interview, or if it was edited by a disabled individual.

@patrickdehahn @Twitter and with a san francisco tote bag, no less!!

gentle reminder to give your dog an extra hug and pets today 🐾

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

@taniakaras I felt for the attendant who may have had the menu on seat screens b4 (if so, why not now?) or in First Class (but not everyone has points or $$). They gave me a free drink though–which I saw in an ad... I've had attendants pull EVERY item out to show me b4 😂 which is inclusive!

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

Inaccessiblity on my @Delta flight as a deaf person: the food/drink menu in the Main Cabin was nonexistent in paper or digital format for my roundtrip flight 🧵

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

This isn't only for the deaf or hard of hearing. Everyone benefits from #accessibility. Flying with a disability is still discriminatory in 2022 (read up on what wheelchair users go thru). I know it's *just a menu* but it's part of a long list of failures in an abled world. /end

[Jake deHahn (he/him) @jake_deh]

Point is, @Delta (and all airlines), I know the Air Carrier Access Act may not specifically say to make your amenities accessible, but it requires airlines to take steps to accommodate passengers with a disability. Please do better. /7

do you ever look at your dog and proclaim with your whole heart, “I would die for you”

then they look back at you like, “are you gonna eat that bread crust?”
