I’m a software engineer by trade and a writer by compulsion. I’m neurodivergent — autistic and ADHD — and that shapes how I think, how I focus, and how I process the world. This site is a creative outlet for the ideas that accumulate in my head: the connections I notice between unrelated things, the arguments I can’t stop picking apart, the questions that don’t have clean answers.
What I Write About
I write essays. The subjects are Christianity, neurodivergence, politics, and professional wrestling. The range is wide, and they stay on one blog on purpose. A piece will often use one of them to look at another: what a crowd is willing to believe, who is allowed to tell the story, and what it costs to keep performing it. I would rather those sit next to each other here than pretend they belong on four separate sites.
How I Write
I aim for an academic tone: clear claims, defined terms where it helps, and enough structure that a reader can follow the argument and disagree with it on the merits. I try to be honest about my assumptions and biases rather than perform neutrality I don’t have. If I cite a source, I mean for you to be able to check it. If I’m speculating, I try to say so. The goal is not to win every argument but to think in public with enough rigor that the thinking is worth your time.
