Hi all, I've also recently joined Beehaw from reddit. Im a queer AuDHD agender person originally from the Solomon Islands but now living in Australia. I'm a single parent to an almost 2 year old who is obsessed with dinosaurs, dogs and babies. My kid is amazing but OMG toddlers! I spent most of my career working in community services mostly with communities who experience significant systemic discrimination but recently moved into IT. I'm still working not for profit but now in the IT team. While I was studying my IT degree I did a minor in Internet Communications and got offered post grad to research, simply, community, power and politics online. I turned it down because I needed to make some money and didnt think becoming an academic would achieve that (and also i was about to have a baby) but now I'm watching the shit show that is reddit and thinking about what a great thesis it would make! I'm excited to participate more on the platform without the fear of harassment I often had on other platforms. The rules and values of beehaw make me a lot more comfortable to post.
