30-Degree Shift
Reality is a mass of reasons; I’m just here to map the gravity. The 30-Degree Shift is a collection of essays exploring the structural irony of the world through a neurodivergent lens. Whether it’s special relativity, the craft of fiction, or the sensory weight of a blue-buttercream cake, we’re looking for the light that bends around the baggage.
TL;DR - It’s a mess in my brain and I’m working it out in public.
My Personal Delta
A common theme you’ll hear from me is self-awareness. Not that I’m an expert in the practice, but it seems pretty obvious that until you can recognize something when it occurs, you’re doomed to continue suffering through it. This has a myriad of comorbidities, such as the humility to admit when you’re wrong and the strength to persevere through it.
It’s hard. And that’s coming from someone who feels they have it on the easier end of the spectrum.
This is a memory about my first step into self-awareness.
Seeds Lost in Velvet
The cake smells like skinny-dipping on a cool summer night.
Geodesics and Side Salad
Perspective isn’t just an opinion; it’s the gravity that forms our reality. From special relativity to a horse named Side-Salad, I’m exploring why “everyone having their reasons” is the most painful truth in the world, and how leveraging the mass of a character's baggage allows us to see the light.
30-Degree Shift
I’m constantly inspired and intimidated by the absurdity I see everywhere. Sometimes I wonder how I could ever compete with reality, but mostly, I end up stealing. From the irony of real gold used to mine digital coins to Jonathan Swift’s 'wholesome' advice on baby-eating, this is a deep dive into the 30-degree shift and why humanity is so committed to the bit.
