Hi ! New to Mastodon, and flailing around a bit. I am totally blind and still adjusting even though it has been over 4 years. Previously I lived aboard my boat for over 10 years. I am a civil engineer/creative writer/Moth Storyteller.

Very glad to have you here with us, Mr. Westcott! Living aboard a boat was a long-held dream of mine though I finally realized I'd never achieve it and wistfully let it go. I'd love to hear lots more about that, along with the new challenges you face after having lost your sight.

If you'd like to find some interesting people to follow to get started, I'd suggest adding both @donmelton and @harphat and then pick and choose people from those feeds whom you find interesting. Both users are quite prolific in booting intelligent, well-curated items that are wide-ranging enough to show something you'd want to follow further.

I don't know either of them personally, but accidentally started out with them somehow early on and now owe them both a huge debt of gratitude for promoting quite a few intriguing folks in many fields, be it scientific, humorous, literary, artistic, social commentary, et cetera.

I'll tag along with you for a time and let's see where we wind up!

Andy

@AndyLowry @rtw3000 @donmelton Thanks Andy. Wishing you a good weekend. Feels spring like here in France.
