Lanie Molinar Carmelo

🌟 Introduction Post 🌟

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Lanie Molinar Carmelo (she/her), and I'm thrilled to join the amazing community here on allovertheplace.ca! Here's a little about me:

🧑‍💻 Who I Am

I'm a #UsabilityTester and an aspiring #AccessibilityConsultant, working to make technology better for everyone, especially those of us with disabilities. I'm most passionate about helping those with multiple disabilities, as it's an area that doesn't get enough attention.

🐾 Meet Squeaker!

I'm also the proud human to my 10-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker, who is the best little companion anyone could ask for. 🐕💖 He drives me nuts sometimes, but I don't know what I'd do without him. My profile picture features me with Squeaker, and my header shows him wrapped in a blanket with just his adorable face peeking out!

📚 What I’m Studying

I'm currently learning:

  • Digital Accessibility through the BIT Accessibility Analyst Course
  • Literary Braille Proofreading via the NLS
  • Programming on platforms like freeCodeCamp and Codecademy

My goal is to develop accessible apps that empower people with disabilities, contribute to open-source projects that promote inclusion, and just do what I can to make the world more accessible.

💡 What I Do

I run or co-lead several online support groups for people with multiple disabilities. These groups provide safe spaces to connect, share resources, and talk with others who "get it." You can find them here:

  • Facebook: Multiple Disabilities Peer to Peer Support Group
  • Discord/Mailing List: MultAbilities
  • Clubhouse: People with Multiple Disabilities

Right now, my focus is on growing these groups and making connections with others who are passionate about supporting multiply disabled individuals. If you're interested in joining or collaborating, feel free to reach out or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech, where you'll find links to all the groups!

🎮📖🍴 My Interests

When I’m not advocating or studying, you can find me:

I also love swimming 🏊‍♀️ when my health allows it.

🛠️ My Goals

One day, I hope to found a nonprofit organization to support multiply disabled individuals. The nonprofit would:

  • Provide peer support groups
  • Help fund assistive technology
  • Advocate for education and employment opportunities
  • Collaborate with disability-focused organizations to improve accessibility

For now, I'm focused on running my support groups and building connections that could help make this dream a reality. If you have ideas or resources—or just want to chat—let me know! 🤝

🤝 Let’s Connect!

I’m always happy to chat about:

  • Accessibility in #tech or tech in general
  • Disability advocacy
  • Programming (#HTML, #JavaScript)
  • Braille
  • Books
  • Or just life in general!

Feel free to follow me here or check out my website at laniecarmelo.tech.

I'm looking to create an online group for people with multiple disabilities, their caregivers, and allies. Seeking recommendations for accessible, free, and user-friendly platforms!

Key needs:
• Accessible for various disabilities
• Easy to use (even for non-tech-savvy folks)
• Free to host
• Not Facebook

Any suggestions from the community? What platforms have worked well for you?

Something a little different for this week’s article - a guide to the Twitter/X exodus from a disability and chronic illness point of view.

People are leaving the site in droves - whether because of changing privacy and data policies or in protest of Musk and Trump’s increasingly fascist and problematic behaviour.

What happens to the disability community who’ve long relied on that app for support, friendship and connection? People who are sick can’t migrate to a new platform as easily as their non-disabled counterparts.

How can we help people find community elsewhere? How can we ensure the transition takes as few spoons as possible?

Most importantly - how can we ensure no one gets left behind?

If you're disabled, and you only consider and accommodate people with your particular disability, you might be an ablest... Strike that, you are! I'm not always Pollyanna, sometimes I'm Oscar the grouch. Please don't take the lid off my can.

Hello, caneandable.social! I'm Lanie, a 33-year-old #Christian woman from Pipe Creek, TX. I'm #aroace, #TotallyBlind, #ActuallyAutistic, and living with multiple #ChronicIllnesses. I've just moved over from tweesecake.social, so I'm excited to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces!

A bit about me:
- I live with my mom and stepdad, who are my caregivers
- I have a Miniature Pinscher named Squeaker
- Currently studying programming on freeCodeCamp.org and codecademy.com and Braille proofreading through the NFB
- I work as a usability tester and aspire to become an #accessibility consultant
- My goal is to create a nonprofit for people with multiple #disabilities

My interests include:
- #Gaming (especially accessible games like incremental/idle games, word games, puzzles, RPGs, roguelikes, and MUDs)
- #Technology and #Cybersecurity
- #RareDiseases and #DisabilityRights
- Reading (sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, mysteries, and nonfiction)
- Swimming
- Gardening (planning to start soon!)

I'm passionate about #accessibility and creating a more inclusive digital world. I run online groups for people with multiple disabilities and am active in the #DisabilityCommunity.

Some of my #health conditions include occipital neuralgia, intracranial hypertension, Empty Sella Syndrome, fibromyalgia, hidradenitis suppurativa, GERD, gastroparesis, IBS, sleep apnea, migraines, and non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder.

I use various devices to navigate the digital world, including a Windows computer, iPhone, Android tablet, Fire TV, Echo Dot, Apple Watch, wireless headphones, and a Braille display. #AssistiveTechnology

I'm always eager to connect with others who share similar experiences or interests. Feel free to reach out, especially if you're into #AccessibleTech, #DisabilityAdvocacy, or if you just want to chat about books, games, or life with multiple disabilities!

Greetings. I’m still working out how to use this platform, but I wish you a good day and a hearty welcome to my new profile.


#Introductions About me: I am an author and advocate. My 14th book THE GHOSTS OF PARIS is out now, and follows on from my international bestseller, THE WAR WIDOW. My new short story The Husband Machine published last week in BLACK IS THE NIGHT. I write #HistoricalFiction, crime fiction, non-fiction, #noir and #gothic #paranormal fiction. I'm also an award-winning human rights advocate, UNICEF ambassador and #disability and chronic pain advocate diagnosed with #CRPS. I'm interested in lots of things, including what you are up to. That's more than enough Tooting from me. Over to you...
