I recommend 'The Disabled Ginger' publication by Kelly. ( @broadwaybabyto )

"Tips for Surviving a Hospital Trip When Chronically Ill - When you're disabled - the decision of whether or not to go to the hospital is incredibly complex. When you have no choice but to go - there are ways to make it easier."

Kelly shares insights and wisdom anyone can apply but ESPECIALLY for caregivers or love ones who have a chronic illness. This is the kind of life-wisdom in today's healthcare system we ALL need!!

TO Substack team - please could you clarify - can we make multiple recommendations? also may I suggest adding the author's handle @ name as well as publication/article URL?

Yes Victoria, please absolutely feel free to recommend more than one publication!

Your idea to share the author's handle is a great one as well! It's a bummer it doesn't show up as an active link though when we do that though :(

Yep, I agree @Rose G.! FYI If the comment is stacked we can ‘edit’ and it’ll linkup in the note, but it doesn’t work in threads.

That is strange and irritating. I wonder why they did that?

Hi LC, no idea but the workaround to ensure someone else knows you've recommended them is to stack the comment so it becomes a note and tag there..

FYI for people like me making multiple recommendations, I'm noting who I'm recommending so I don't duplicate and notifying people.

Anyone unaware of this thread/or when a comment is not 'stacked' as a note, won't know...(until you lovely SmallStack team choose to highlight them), that they've been recommended by someone...of course, everyone could've also switched off all notifications from notes too.

If that's all weird huh? feel free to DM me

Victoria, yeah I really see what you are saying now.

I’d love for ALL of these writers to enjoy the warm fuzzy of knowing that someone recommended them. I’ll bring this to the attention of the SmallStack team to see if we can help improve this for next time.

In the meantime, your suggestion is wonderful! 💗

YESSSS Thanks, Rose G - spot on exactly...when SmallStacks are starting numbers on a stat don't mean much but having someone shout out your name is fabulous!

I've DM'd/ restacked the comment to a note - to all those I recommended.

Thanks to all of you- I see you all liking & commenting ;-) Gr8 teamwork!

I also left a comment on the post by the person I'd recommended here, linking back to the comment here, so that could be another way to let them know too :)

Victoria and Lauren - you are both so thoughtful! I'm certain the writers you are lifting up appreciate the extra little bit of effort you are putting in to let them know they have been recognized 💗 We are certainly a bit limited by the current capabilities of the platform in this case, but that is no match for your efforts, clearly 🫶🏽
