(Please note. Due to screen reader accessibility problems on Friendica, I have mostly switched to Akkoma. I can now be found here, though I may occasionally still post to Friendica.

Thank you for your understanding.)
Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.
Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.
You can also find me on Dreamwidth. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •Well, I thoughtit was good. Then, I went to newsmast.org and saw "button, button, button", with no labels! I have no clue what these are, nor can I search for communities, which I wanted to do. I don't understand why such a basic thing is inaccessible.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • • •Hi Georgiana, thanks for checking out our Community Feeds.They were built to help users here find people with similar interests so hopefully you can make some new friends as you said!
However, we're sorry you've encountered accessibility issues with the Feeds. We know accessibility still has a long way to come, even in a progressive space like this, and we'd like to help.
If you let us know what has made the experience with Community Feeds inaccessible we'll see what we can do.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • • •Hi again Georgiana, thank you so much for explaining your experience in detail.
The Newsmast app is, unfortunately, behind where we would like it to be in terms of accessibility. We have plans to improve this (alongside fixing a few of the bugs which have been lingering) but we first need to find some funding!
For that reason, Channel.org - our new (paid) service for orgs - is our current focus. (1/2)

in reply to Newsmast Foundation • • •We hope to return to the Newsmast app soon. When we do, we will be sure to use this description you have provided.
For now, you should be able to use the Community Feeds by following the Feed accounts - we know you said you didn't mind the high activity but feel free to put them in a list! That way they should work with a client that suits your needs more closely.
If you're interested can follow our progress on our co-founders blog: blog-pat.ch/ (2/2)
