Valerie RoneyOMG you guys! I just realized, a collective shared support spoonie household is called a spooniecule. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spoonieTown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoonieTown</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spooniecule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spooniecule</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spoonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoonies</a>

Valerie Roney☝️this group is open to anybody who wants to connect in the Guelph-ish area for whatever reason. If you're considering moving to the Guelph area and want explore and connect in advance. Even if you just want to lurk and watch <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/intentionalCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intentionalCommunity</a> building - I have leads on at least two physical housing projects that mostly just need to be peopled with the kind of folks who know how to build healthy community.Things are shifting, it's time to gather the good-hearted people. 💪🧡 <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a>

Thinking of you and all the folx with stuff going on, getting in the way, who would benefit from making <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/spoonietown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoonietown</a> real. Just found so no research yet.Big hopes.Warm blankets and cozy coffee to you <a href="https://earthseedecovillage.com/about/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://earthseedecovillage.com/about/</a>

Valerie Roney<a href="https://thecanadian.social/@adelinej" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adelinej</a> this actually isn't my <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> project. This is some other community I accidentally landed in that will hopefully keep me alive (and learning even more) until I can build the convalescence focused space spoonies and long covid folks need. This place would be a good long term living arrangement once somebody is out of crisis. The Fates decreed I get to have my crisis here, which is bumpy, but helps highlight the missing pieces.

Valerie Roney<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@matthewconroy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@matthewconroy</a> I've been really ill, but had been working on a similar project that stalled. Building local (for myself) but also just trying to gather people and resources, to share templates of what people are trying, and a gathering place for ppl to find local connections for what they want to build. Check out the <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> tag and wave hello to <a href="https://mastodon.social/@BrambleBearGrrrauwling" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BrambleBearGrrrauwling</a> who has been doing some exploring recently.

Valerie Roney<a href="https://mastodon.social/@BrambleBearGrrrauwling" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BrambleBearGrrrauwling</a> Oh! I wish I had the executive function to answer that question. Right now, I think we mostly need to gather. Gather people. Gather ideas. Gather resources. If you have chuff to do some nerdy deep dive/explore feel free to drop things in <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> as a gathering place. Or start another tag and I will boost whatever you create. We need connection and curation. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/cohousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cohousing</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/intentionalCommunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intentionalCommunities</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/convalescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#convalescence</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/communityCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityCare</a>

Valerie Roney<a href="https://mastodon.social/@BrambleBearGrrrauwling" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BrambleBearGrrrauwling</a> right!?! I've been talking about this off and on for a couple of years, I think it is so needed. There's lots of things sprouting up in all kinds of areas now, if you can find them. The <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> tag is what I've been dropping thoughts under (off and on, I've had huge cognition problems). Feel free to lurk, steal ideas, add thoughts. I think my activity in this area is picking up. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/intentionalCommunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intentionalCommunities</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/coLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coLiving</a>

Valerie Roney*whispers* another unit will be available Jan 1st if anybody wants to live in this awesome intentional community full of grounded authentic kind ppl just outside of Guelph. Disabled friendly, but a really diverse demographic group. DM me for more deets if you think this might be the fit for you. [edit: this place is like proto- <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> gonna start collecting things under that tag]

Valerie Roneyedit: tooting this under <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> , it's pretty much the dream. 💚

Valerie RoneyCalling out for someone with executive function and WordPress skills to help us build <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> website. We have IT skills, and content writing skills lined up, just looking for someone to set theme, upload content, and pull some structure together, make it purdy sorta thing. This is all by turtles for turtles, so even if you only have a few spoons we can find a way accommodate ya to werk 'em well. 🐢💨

Valerie Roney<a href="https://blackqueer.life/@tillshadeisgone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tillshadeisgone</a> Waving from Canada! Similar issues and schemes here. We're all just throwing spaghetti on new walls trying to find things that stick. Try searches for intentional communities, co-living, that sort of stuff. There's lots of ppl finding hacks around ownership etc, you might stumble upon a system that works for your needs. Yer welcome to lurk on <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> (the project I am working on) if ya like as well. Good luck! It's hella hard.

Valerie RoneyI am delighted to announce one of my favourite social innovation collaborators from my <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/yyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yyc</a> days is well enough to pick up a bit of project work and will be helping grow <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> in <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/guelph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guelph</a>.There's a website, and a patreon for me developing. In the meantime contributions to Mike's patreon are deeply appreciated to get this ball rolling (..turtle flipping?🙃) <a href="https://www.patreon.com/msimoens/about" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/msimoens/about</a>Also just wave hi to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@msimoens" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@msimoens</a> He always values a good silo shakeup.

Valerie RoneyI made a clear concise sentence about what we are up to! <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/brainfog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brainfog</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Guelph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guelph</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/housingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#housingCrisis</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/chronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicIllness</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longCovid</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/coliving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coliving</a>

Valerie RoneyIf you're voting either: Ooo tell me more (and want to lurk and learn) or I can't cash but I can volunteer (even a few hrs/mo)we have a discord we are organizing on. DM me for a link! :) <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a>

Valerie RoneyI will make better words about this next brain window, but the TL;DR is: I desperately need something like this for myself, and I am so frickin livid it doesn't exist I am using every spare spoon I have to try make this happen for myself and others. Nobody should have to go through this. We deserve better and society is 100% capable of doing better. This is absolutely a solvable problem with some innovation and existing infrastructure.<end rant> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spoonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoonies</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a>

Valerie RoneyI perhaps didn't frame above survey well. Will do this as an add on for other than ongoing $ contributions for <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> - basically a co-living intentional household for chronic illness where we share resources (like hiring out healthy food), as well as sharing skills and peer support for illness management. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/coLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coLiving</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/intentionalCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intentionalCommunity</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Guelph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guelph</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/chronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicIllness</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longCovid</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/housingCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#housingCrisis</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/communityCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityCare</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spoonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoonies</a>

Valerie RoneyFloating an exploratory balloon here... If I was to fundraise to hire someone to help me build a <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/convalescentCommunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#convalescentCommunities</a> home in <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/guelph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guelph</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ontario</a> as a pilot project others could copy and customize around the world, would you kick in for that? If so ballpark amount? Basically a long slow care home for <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longCovid</a> and <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/chonicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chonicIllness</a> where folks can get the time out and care to stabilize and manage their illness. I'd call it <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/turtleBower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turtleBower</a> FYI, so we have a tag to centre discussion around.
