I put in a complaint to BT Internet because they didn’t have enough contact options for Deaf people.

I moved flats and had to have my friends call them to arrange the move because they didn’t have an online portal, email service or a chat box to deal with this.

BT is one of the biggest companies in the UK and it’s 2023. You’d think they would have better options for disabled customers.

In tears laughing when they sent this after their ‘investigation’ into my complaint. They not only didn’t bother to respond, but this was their resolution to my complaint about not being able to contact them in another way that didn’t involve a telephone:

Ticketmaster website says call the stadium for disabled access tickets, I call the stadium & they say to contact ticketmaster because they’ve redirected the sale of access tickets back to them, I did that & ticketmaster just said to contact the stadium for tickets because they checked and the sales only go through the stadium. I’m so confused, I just want tickets for Elton John 😭 why do disabled people have to jump through so many hoops?

#this is homophobia /j #this is extra homophobia because the top I bought online to wear to the concert didnt fit and I had to send it back #elton john #disabled access #accessibility issues #disability #actually disabled #ableism

Blind Tumblr users: don’t get the latest iOS app update!

I just updated my tablet to the newest version of the tumblr app for iOS and it completely broke screen reader access for both VoiceOver and Spoken Content. This has happened in the past already, so I will file a support ticket and copy-paste my text from last time, but this really sucks. I sincerely hope this doesn’t affect all screen reader users, but I’m unsure how they could program this bug in a way it only affects me. If you rely on a screen reader to use the tumblr app, I’d advice to not get the latest update to be on the safe side.

When I say “completely broke access”, what I mean is that no posts on my dash or on individual blogs get read or recognized at all. No plain text, alt text, tags, etc. Note count and buttons still work though.

If you also run into this bug, here’s my advice. If anyone has something more useful, please tell me

File a support ticket and report this bug

Use the browser web version, which still works for me

Interestingly, if you save a post to your drafts and click on “edit” the post text seems to get read correctly. This might be a work-around for some people.

If you have the latest version but your screen reader didn’t break, also please tell me! I would be fascinated to know if this bug is only affecting some people

TL;DR: The latest tumblr app update for iOS made it so screen readers no longer work in the app

Please boost!

Edit: This issue is now fixed as of November 10th 2023. However, since this is a recurring issue, it’s possible that a future update will break it again. See notes for more details.

When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”

today I learned about "thumb book holders" in my search for ways to read giant fantasy paperbacks without injuring myself, and then I realized I could make one out of the 20-year-old polymer clay that I had lying around... so I did. and god DAMN it's more effective than I ever expected, so I thought everyone should know about them. You can get really cheap mass-produced ones but this was fun to make and I'll probably make more ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I still maintain that what really causes me to struggle with being disabled is abled people and abled centered society.

Yes, being disabled inherently impairs my functioning in certain ways, regardless of what abled people do.

Yes, I'd be in pain no matter what.

But that's just a part of being me. I resent it sometimes, sure. But goddamn it, I just can't take abled people bullshit.

Truly, I just want to live my life, and inaccessibility and ableism are a massive barrier to doing that.

Some problems I've encountered just recently:

Being told I can't bring my mobility aid into a building and that the front desk "might call the cops." I had to leave the building.

Being told I can't bring my mobility aid on a bus. I couldn't ride the bus.

My insurance claim for a mobility aid being denied.

Constantly having to get on my professors so that they follow my accommodations.

Having to do extra work just to get and maintain my accommodations, because apparently they must go through a ridiculously thorough process to prove I'm not faking it.

Being stared at in public when I use my mobility aids. This one isn't the worst but it makes me very uncomfortable.

Some problems I've encountered over my life:

Being called slurs.

Having proof of my disabilities and still not being believed.

Being constantly asked "what happened" and people getting very uncomfortable when I tell them it is permanent and lifelong (somehow they very often think it's a sports accident, as if I look like I can do sports ha.)

People not waiting for me because I'm "too slow" (including so-called "friends.")

Not being able to enter buildings because they are inaccessible.

People smearing piss and shit all over the disabled toilet.

Fighting tooth and nail to get a diagnosis because doctors apparently don't know how to do their job and also don't believe you when you say you're in pain (except my psychiatrist, he's a real one fr.)

Being harassed.

A lot more lmao.

A dropped curb with a lip defeats the purpose of the dropped curb

sure there’s a ramp, but is it steep? is there a curb at the top? is the ground uneven? do i need a key for the elevator? are the aisles and doorways wide enough? do i have room to turn? is there furniture and clutter in my way? is the carpet difficult to wheel on? can i open the doors myself?

accessibility to wheelchairs is more than just a ramp.

I am once again explaining that in order for walkable cities and public transit to work for disabled people, there also need to be more public bathrooms available in and around those areas. Not just places to sit down or rest. Bathrooms. We need accessible, clean bathrooms. With sharps bins. With multiple wheelchair accessible stalls. With an area to set down supplies needed to maintain one’s body. Even if it’s not being used to get rid of bodily waste, bathrooms are one of the few spaces disabled people have to maintain some sort of privacy when they’re in the middle of a flare up or they need to take medication or what have you. Designing a public space? Include bathrooms.
