A11y 101 – 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation

Imagine walking into your favorite library. You know exactly where the fiction section is. It’s always on the second floor, to the left of the stairs. The librarian knows where you go. Your feet know the way. It’s muscle memory.

It is a week later when you walk in, and suddenly fiction is in the basement, behind the coffee shop, accessible only through a secret door behind the periodicals. The stairs are now an elevator, but it’s on the other side of the building. The librarian has vanished.

You’d feel disoriented. Frustrated. Maybe even a little unsafe. You’re just trying to find a book, not solve a puzzle.

We Started a Free Pantry

Times are tough, but we have a little extra. Instead of shaming people for needing help, we are sharing what we can. I have been a Buddhist for over a decade. I’ve read all the major religious texts as well as the major philosophy and ethics books as part of getting my degree in philosophy. My wife is a deacon at her Episcopal church. One thing we agree upon is that all humans deserve care, love, support, the right to food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare. Actually, we agree on a lot, but most of it is irrelevant to this post.

‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ – Matthew 25(40)

If you have the means to help your local community, I encourage you to do so. If you can’t provide a pantry like ours, find somewhere to donate time or money. Because our budget for this is coming out of our pockets, we have limits. If you’d like to help us support our community, please visit our page about the pantry and donate.
