Some personal news, I’m rebranding my midlife crisis as Into the Woods Act II

Exciting update for #CSUNATC25 friends at the Hammertime Hilton! The sledge- and jackhammers in the lobby have paused—because the hotel is checking with their legal team! Advocacy for accessible shared spaces is making an impact 💙

That funny feeling when you opt out of vendor emails when you register for a conference, but then a bouncer with a QR app, a human alteration to the terms of service, opts you right back in. Does this design pattern have a name?

Folks at #CSUNATC25 —If the loud tile work at @HiltonHotels is impacting nonvisual navigation, communication, or sensory processing , tell the desk, grab sound samples & speak up. Jackhammers don’t belong in shared spaces during an accessibility conference. #AccessMatters

Tested ChatGPT video in the train station! Just like a sighted stranger: 1/3 actionable info,2/3 "it's crowded", "there's a handrail", "watch your step". Congrats overhelpers of the world — you worried about Blind people so loudly and for so long you've got a supercomputer giving worry-as-a-service

From a Blind person motivated to check: ChatGPT voice mode with video grabs a frame and responds. It's not parsing video really. Count to five while showing five gestures to describe, or ask it to decide if you blink a light. It can't. It gets by on freeze frames and vibes
