  1. It'll be interesting to see if they'll give #KnotsLanding #AudioDescription or is it #VideoDescription? All these years later and I never know when to use what term.

  2. Things I never thought I'd say: "Wow! This Happy Meal thing has audio description!!" Um, *WOW*! Yes, we're in our 40s, but we still get the toys in the Happy Meal when we get it for our doggo. @TheZooLady is like, "I can't make sense out of this thing! It's just two cubes." So I find the little QR code thingy and scan it. It takes me to the web page, with a "Let's play button, and my first thought is, "Well, I might be able to make some sense of this if I use magnification and squint real hard." Surprise: There's actually *gasp* accessibility settings! And one of them is audio description! Totally wild! And the buttons are even labelled! I am rather impressed by what I've seen.

  4. If you're #blind, American, and feeling patriotic, this year's Macy's 4th of July Spectacular will have live #AudioDescription from Descriptive Video Works. Available via secondary audio on NBC and Peacock. The show starts at 8 PM Eastern. Not usually a fireworks fan but might have to check this out. Anyone know if A Capital 4th on PBS will be described too? #Accessibility #AccessibleMedia
