Hello! New instance so need an #introduction.

I’m a #queer, #British #bisexual (they/them) who has been living in #Japan for 20 years. Until last year I was a tenured Associate Professor at a top #science and #engineering university in central #Tokyo researching #HCI and #sociology of #community. I took (very) early retirement to focus on my #MentalHealth after the workplace environment triggered what I now know is #CPTSD.

I am keen to see how #technology can be used to help foster supportive communities for #LGBTQ people and those with #MentalIllness.

I have another account on another instance (@sheepchase@babka.social) but decided this would be a more appropriate place for some of my posts and to meet more like-minded people in the LGBTQ and tech community.

Nice to meet you!
