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, I’m looking for the light that bends around the baggage.
TL;DR - My brain is a messy equation and I’m trying to solve it on the chalkboard in front of class.
Join in for a weekly essays, every Wednesday at 11:11am.

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.
