I'm a neurodivergent nerd with a keyboard and a dream. I write for fun and for my day job, and I'll write about anything and everything that comes to mind because I can't stay in a single lane, apparently. My ideas come from my life, my partner, my friends, and random people on the internet, particularly from Tumblr for some reason. I consider the term "social justice warrior" to be high praise. Em-dash enthusiast and general fan of parenthetical asides and non-sequiturs. You can pry my Oxford comma from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands. He/him/his

I write about everything from my experience with mental illness to politics to philosophy. Much of my so-called "wisdom" is from Tumblr dot com. He/him/his.
