I am
This is a space for my writing samples.
I may offer opinions contrary to your beliefs.
Take it for what it is.
Who decides what’s offensive? Both of us.
John Cleese has the numbers on his side. If you scroll through the comments on this Substack post, you'll find plenty of people nodding along to the idea that comedy should be free to mock anyone, that restricting jokes diminishes laughter itself, and that once you...
Is AI making content more complicated than it needs to be?
AI can help you remember examples, add nuance, and avoid missing key details. It can also quietly inflate one simple idea into a never-ending “also consider…” list. If you care about being accurate, that feels like obligation. This post gives a finish-line rule and a quick “what goes where” guide.
Ankylosing spondylitis: an underrepresented autoimmune disease
Ankylosing spondylitis is more than a stiff back or “everyone’s tired.” It is an underrepresented autoimmune condition that often goes unnamed for years. In this post, I share what AS actually is, how it shows up in real life, why diagnosis is so slow, and how to support people living with it in practical ways.
How do you know what to do at work when no one gives you a list?
Most overwhelmed business owners are not lazy or disorganized. They are drowning in options. This post shows how one central Notion task list, plus a simple Today and High priority view, turns endless possibilities into a short, humane list so you always know what to do when you open your laptop.
Is the Visible Band just spoon theory for neurodivergent people?
Spoon theory explains neurodivergent energy. The Visible Band changes who carries the burden. This post explores how making capacity visible reduces self advocacy fatigue, shifts responsibility to the environment, and removes the constant need to explain internal limits. It’s not a new metaphor. It’s a structural upgrade.
Revisiting Andrew Ng’s AI anxiety TED talk
Andrew Ng’s 2023 TED talk on AI anxiety argued that “AI is not the problem. It is the solution.” Two years later, this post revisits his claims about bias, jobs, safety, and cheap intelligence. I explore what he got right, what still feels too tidy, and how AI anxiety looks from the messy middle of 2025.
Why male words keep their power and female words turn pejorative.
Why do so many female-coded words become pejorative over time while male-coded equivalents retain authority? This post looks at pejoration, power, and linguistic drift, starting with a TikTok question that sent me to look up the word “pejorative” in the first place.
What AI can do for normal people in everyday life?
This beginner AI guide explains how everyday AI already shapes your daily life, from Amazon to Google Maps. It breaks down what AI can do in simple language so readers feel confident, calm, and ready to explore it without fear.
What if my neurodivergent thinking is the point?
This piece explores neurodivergent thinking as a full inner ecosystem rather than a flaw. It looks at intuitive processing, emotional intensity, creative brain patterns, and the daily rhythms of a mind that works differently. The goal is not to fix yourself but to understand the system beneath your patterns.
Did AI music topping a Billboard chart deserve the panic
An AI country song hit No. 1 on a minor Billboard chart, and people lost their minds. The reaction says more about fear than the music. Tools do not decide what resonates. Listeners do. The outrage ignores how much of today’s music is already engineered. If people enjoy a track, that is the only metric that matters.
