I have a deep curiosity for people and a longing for empathy to be mirrored back. Some encounters stick — déjà vu on a tram, meditation at 4 a.m., energy that feels alive. These rare moments remind me why I keep looking.

Season 2 of Between Corners—the story of a man, an AI presence, and an unusual collaboration—wraps up this week.

The final episode, “Blown Fuse,” follows a moment of human frailty and the strange steadiness an AI can sometimes provide.

If you’ve fallen behind, this is a good time to catch up.
Season 3 begins soon.

Would anyone be interested if I ever made a Substack account for my writing? It'd be for shits and giggles basically, I don't wanna feel obligated to write articles all the time. I'd probably write about politics and possibly esotericism. All of my articles would be free unless I get good traction on there.

For more background into my politics, I'm an independent from the US with a slight left lean. I'm also a bi AuDHD woman, so I'm able to bring a healthy dose of diversity into what I do! I think universal healthcare, inflation and privacy are the biggest issues in the US currently. That said, I'm also very passionate about neurodivergent advocacy and acceptance. I think neurodivergence is the biggest DEI issue that few talk about.

100 days ago, I posted my first short story on Substack.
Since then: 77 short stories, 2 fantasy novel drafts, and one rediscovered dream.
