Hi friends! Wanted to do a better intro post

I’m a moderator here in #DisabledSocial, so if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

I love music, reading, poems, TV and films. I had a service animal who passed away. I’m a hair model. I’m a pro-bono patient advocate, support group leader. I run/promote fundraisers for disabled people (encouraged here!). I’m queer ambulatory woman, hyperlexic AudAHD over-explainer. I speak Spanish. I like to cook, bake, be outdoors when I can!

The folks who run Disabled Social are myself, @McCullohMD, @PanickedFoodie and @Aaidanbird!

A few mods stepped away after they got too busy, and one (my friend, @Tinu @Tinu) died 10 months ago

❤️‍🩹 Tinu’s family still needs $2,000 for medical bills, please donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-tinus-legacy-with-compassionate-support ❤️‍🩹

Please reach out with questions, concerns, ideas for Disabled Social to keep growing into the intentional, accessible, safe, supportive community we work hard to build

Thanks to all of you for keeping #DisabledSocial up and running! ❤️

I don't have any suggestions right now but I do have 2 questions.

1) How is disabled.server doing on funds? I haven't seen a summary lately.

2) Any plans (short-term or long term) to add a search feature to this server?

Thanks!

Hi @ahimsa_pdx Thanks for your support! I have it on my list to post financial updates in the next couple of days, so your inquiry is right on time!

We would love to add search to the server. It's on more of a long-term list, just because it isn't a simple checkbox. But it is absolutely something that we plan to add at some point, hopefully before too long. I'd love to commit to by the end of the year, hopefully sooner!

@emily_rj @PanickedFoodie @Aaidanbird

@emily_rj Excited to read the things you bring! Looks like we have a fair amount of things in common :)

P.S: I lived in Iowa for a year. it was great indeed!

@emily_rj Hi Emily. Thank you for the follow, I’m following back. I too use a mobility aid. Mine is a very overdecorated rollator. Your interests are similar to mine!
