A new intro post, as I'm in a new chapter.

I'm Monzz, she/her. I've lived all around but I'm based in the #UK now.

By day, I work in computer science #education. After hours, I'm a massive #gamer (ask me what I'm playing at the moment), I'm a #scifi / #fantasy #worldbuilding nerd and I do a bit of #writing.

I love my #houseplants and #gadgets.

I like #roleplaying, storytelling, gamification and imaginary worlds. I was raised by the internet in the mid 2000's and would like to rebuild some community links here.

New laws in Alabama and other states give greater power to politically appointed state university boards and administrators while weakening tenure protections and faculty sway over curriculum and university leadership.
