Friends of Captain Awkward

If I had a tail I'd be wagging it so hard my whole body wobbled. :D

GoatLady is SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED to report that the updates appear to have made the forum readable from mobile! :D!

<3 and thanks, I have really, REALLY reallyreally missed this place!

One point I would like to see in the master post is "Remember that there are people with various disabilities on this very forum." Because it seems like a lot of instances stem from the assumption that everyone here is non-disabled/sane/neurotypical when this is emphatically not true.

I think there is a lot of value in the communities concerned, e.g. us pwd (to use the one I'm part of) being able to get together and discuss what we feel would be a good policy, rather than having one imposed.

Wondering if anything came of this? Tapatalk *does*respect the spoiler tag, and I guess I'm kind of wondering why a separate TW tag was made that's an accessibility barrier to participation for those of us primarily on mobile devices.

It is Frnds of Captain Awkward on Tapatalk! I was able to successfully add it a while ago after lots of searching for it.
