The #a11y of Alaska's app still sucks, and it's really not a great look when I try to add another airline's loyalty info for myself only to be told my number's invalid when I know it's not. #PaxEx

So great to stay at a hotel, do valet parking, then get a letter in the mail threatening to sue us because we didn't pay to park in the garage they parked our car in. Even better, this is the second letter and the hotel didn't actually fix it the first time we called about it.

Love a church parking lot with the sign, "trespassers will be prosecuted" Aren't we supposed to forgive those who trespass against us?

Pierce the Veil/Guns N Roses was awesome. Wish PTV had a longer set, but I kinda get it since GNR goes for 3 hours.

So many times when someone asks if an interaction they’ve made is accessible, the fixes I provide them change their designs more than their code. You can slap a whole lotta aria on stuff to force fit a design but better to just fix the design so it works better for everyone.

“So we’re trading stickers we can’t see,” Sophie says. “Yes,” Ms. Delgado answers. “And we know we have them because of the list.” “Yes.” “And nobody is in charge of the list.” “That’s correct.” Liam raises his hand. “What if someone takes the stickers?”

Booked a basic economy ticket on Delta. I preboard, so boarding last doesn't matter, don't fly them enough to care about points, and it's an e175 so it's not like I'd get assigned a middle. #PaxEx #AvGeek

Since accessibility issues start in the design phase, catching them early is cheaper than fixing them in code. I'm running a free 1 hour accessibility webinar this Tuesday Sept 1, 2026 · 19:00. It covers how to check your mockups, documentation examples and you will get plenty of resources to help.

Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops
Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase. In this 1-hour webinar, Stephanie Walter will show designers and open-minded curious developers how to review mockups for common accessibility issues.

Just tried booking a flight through Southwest's website. I'd describe the screen reader experience as TABU, or "technically accessible, barely usable." Let's just say it's painfully obvious a screen reader user wasn't consulted on the #a11y requirements for their web purchase flow. #PaxEx

My first flight in nearly a year annd first on Southwest in nearly a dozen. Here we go on WN 2526 from AUS to Pit. I bought up to extra leg room seats, which I'm sure will be worth it for the 3 hours I'll be on the flight. Just hoping the middle next to me stays empty. #PaxEx #AvGeek
