I’ve been busy last few days so haven’t explored Mastodon properly. Sorry if I haven’t yet replied to comments or followed back - but I will! First impressions are that it’s a much kinder, less toxic site than the other place.
The petulant, narcissistic manchild appears to have destroyed Twitter, which is really sad. It’s a relief and very comforting therefore, that I can see so many Twitter friends have made the move over.
Love to all. Chris xx

As well as posting about my own disabilities and health issues (as well as other stuff) I also post about what it is like to be an #UnpaidCarer. My Mum and I are both disabled and we live and care for each other.
I would love to connect with other #carers , (as well as many other people).
@iamjessplant Thanks for the introduction Jess. Looking forward to your posts 👋

Hi,
I'm new here, so please be gentle with me. I'm from the UK and have the same main name on Twitter. I generally post about #autism, #disability, #ChronicIllness, being a carer, as well as my day-to-day life and other things that interest me.
I'm open to new followers and hope to follow back. (I'm not quite sure how this works yet).

Just joined and finding my way around this new place...slightly frustrated as I've been in three ticket sale queues and got zero from all three! But I'm not bitter (much)...at least I got accepted by @photosymbols to join this place - thanks 👍
@Katy Thanks for the introduction. Looks like you had a great halloween 🎃

Hello, I’m new here from Twitter, posting mainly about my work with @dsscotland and life with Matilda, my daughter with Ds
@Colin Thanks for joining this community Colin - I think you are in the right place 😀 We are big fans of Learning Disability Nurses.
I'll do my best to keep welcoming new members while we are still a small community, so here goes...
A warm welcome to @Colin @Katy @joelhuebner @jarsonmar @CosmicKarmic @mariaisquixotic @kwilsayf @sanandros @Stevenraison @SENDiass4BCP @iamjessplant @Leigh50 @imingirene @brittnee @Beidesnichtdasgelbevomei @timogrampes @katharinebeals @Leni42 @Neurodivergent_Gen_Xer
Apologies if I missed anyone you are all very welcome to this inclusive community 👋
@EddiesChefin Ooh I did wonder if he might be a Sheltie. What a beauty 😍
@Cloud OK better not try deleting the account then. I can ask our software engineer if they have any tricks up their sleeve when they're back on Monday.
@Cloud Exactly the kind of thing that would bug me... I can try deleting your account so you can set it up again? Would you like me to give that a go?
@Everhopeful1000 I'll take a look at that and see what I can discover. I understand there are other apps as well and I intend to review them when I have a moment.

Thanks to everyone writing descriptions (alt text) for your images!
Those of you who are not...you're making me sad. Please start. Even a super quick basic description of what's in the image is better than nothing
Lots of new members today - some of you I know already. A warm welcome to @Cloud @touretteshero (I've followed you on Instagram for years) @InclusiveCommunicationEssex (who we've worked with a few times) @zmilan @EddiesChefin (I have a rough collie too) @JenZ @nelson @CarlosEye @stellawaterhouse @squirr3lle @BreeZaps - Apologies if I missed anyone it's good to have you all here 👋
@squirr3lle If you like you can email the images to me and I'll check them over and convert if necessary, then email them back to you - karl@photosymbols.com
@Everhopeful1000 Which app are you using Jane? You can do it on the computer but maybe the app is limited.
@sarasiobhan looks amazing, what a pleasure to have that on your doorstep 😍
@myxmyxmyx Morning Julie.
1. Do you know if you get covid tests for free?
2. Have you phoned NHS 111 to ask for advice?
