Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

>> I'm autistic and otherwise disabled, so please be patient with me!<<

I have lots of neurospicy folks in my audience. You might also like neurodiversetea, thatautisticadhdfeel, or gimpy.

>>Queer and trans issues, disability-related issues (autism in particular), the indie web movement and general anti-capitalism!<<

Go you!

>>I'm still getting set up, but, if it's to be anything like my other blogs (which I imagine it will be)… it's like being in a library with a whole bunch of books! Except the book you pull off the shelf could be anything from an extensively-researched essay, to an analysis piece, to the handwritten diary of a geek who talks a lot.<<

>>I may also upload my art here, but I don't know yet, because I dunno if there's an art-posting scene.<<

Yes, there is. Lots of people post personal art to their own blogs. Communities include communal_creators, crafty, drawesome, and journalsandplanners.

>>I like to answer the fictionkind community's prompts, if that counts!<<

It counts.

>>I like things regarding art, writing, fandom, queerness and disability!<<

I post a good deal about those. You might like the lists of my QUILTBAG characters and characters with disabilities.

>>If there are any strawberries left<<

*sigh* Not in central Illinois, and we've got two packages of almond poundcake mix that we wanted to use for strawberry shortbread. We did that earlier this summer and it was epic.

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

Another good place to look is followfriday for topical lists of active comms.

I hope so. If not, I can always macerate some frozen ones.
