An awesome compilation of resources and articles to make accessible web components. Thanks for calling out my article on accessible carousels, @smashingmag.

That was fun! Thanks to the We@PS podcast hosts @halleymarsh and @HudsonNadineB for the opportunity to chat about #accessibility, #womenintech, and my work at @PublicisSapient on Episode 11 of the We@PS podcast: https://t.co/5jsrPpkxDJ

Great quote from @dequesystems Designing an #Accessible Experience course: "Make an effort to look past your own biases to recognize design patterns that cause exclusion."

Great quote from @dequesystems #accessibility fundamentals course: "If you want to create ugly designs, you're free to do so, but don't use accessibility as an excuse."

[Alison @lsnrae]

“Accessibility drives aesthetics because the ability to use something is beautiful.” Great article by Alex Chen with examples of beautiful, accessible designs.

Are the highest grossing #ecommerce websites #accessible? In a word, no. But they're getting better. Learn the latest trends in accessibility compliance of the e-commerce giants who can afford to get this right: https://t.co/hctU3cCq4z

Not surprised to hear about #badservice at @PizzaNova. My kid was refused tap water there today.

[Stephen Lowry @glesgabhoy64]

@PizzaNova Visted Toronto on the weekend and got hungry on Saturday night. Shambolic customer service. I am off Pizza for the foreseeable future.

[Alison @lsnrae]

Hey @PizzaNova Danforth and Woodmount, I can’t believe you have a rule of only allowing one glass of tap water per family. Next time we’ll head over to @PizzaPizzaLtd and skip the lecture from your staff. #cheap

@porterairlines Misinformation alert: The only pancakes are in nearby Pancake Bay. That’s a joke - there’s no dining car. The scenery is great but don’t misalign people’s expectations with false claims. Edit this post for accuracy, please. @SaultTourism #AgawaCanyonTourTrain

[Alison @lsnrae]

@BenFeist 😀 Ha, I never heard that before! It’s especially appropriate to complain to you in particular about how we’ve managed to put a man on the moon but we can’t seem to collectively manage to follow a set of guidelines to help all people access basic content and services online.

[Alison @lsnrae]

My new favorite #WCAG guideline, level A 6.1.1: Give a shit. If you only want to follow one guideline...this could be the most impactful one!

[Zoltan Hawryluk @zoltandulac]

In response to the @stevefaulkner "Bypass Bollocks" WCAG success criterion, I present a new WCAG proposal that I would love feedback on. WCAG A 6.1.1: Give a Shit.

Finally received my TV from @BestBuy with a cracked screen. @BestBuy says I have to pay for them to deliver a new one to my house. #BadService!

[Alison @lsnrae]

@BestBuy consider replacing your delivery partner @PurolatorInc. Driver couldn’t find my house that’s on google maps so I have to miss work twice. @PurolatorInc, give drivers the ability to call recipients to ask questions.

@CanRevAgency, fix the #errors in your online document submission that won’t let me respond to a pre-assessment request. Also #pickupyourphone at stated opening time of 8:15. If I have to print and mail in the end that’s #outdated, terrible for #accessibility and a huge #waste.
