#introduction I've been here a few weeks now, so here's a little about me. I hail from #Yorkshire, specifically #Bradford, have lived in #London for near 20 years and am now due to relocate to #Edinburgh in Spring. I have 2 rescue dogs, one #carpathian shepherd and a #pugtzu. I work in #portfoliodelivery #risk #roi #benefitsmanagement. I drink a lot of coffee (and sparkling shiraz), follow current affairs here and abroad, and I'm a #mhfa instructor.

#introduction time (redux!)

I'm the admin of mentalhealth.social, a programmer & technologist and a passionate #MentalHealth advocate. I've lived with #depression and #anxiety in the past and know all too well how debilitating it can be. I'm also a #MHFA and married to the beautifully neurodivergent @Jo

I'm #progressive, a raging #environmentalist, a #gardener, #punk and #vermiculturist, with an electic spirituality that has its roots in #neopaganism. Hail Eris! I also #write #TTRPGs for fun.
