Writing

Occasional writing on uncertainty, attention, and what happens after the map runs out.

The Checkpoint | What a poet-slash-AI-ambassador taught me about the cost of carrying multiple identities — and why the tax isn't the crossing, it's the preparation for it.

This Is Labor | What David Foster Wallace got right about attention, what professional training does to it, and why fixing that is harder than anyone tells you.

The Grammar of Collapse | What a barbecue in Buenos Aires, a Supreme Court ruling, and a bunch of therapists learning to meditate have in common.

On the Other Side of Boredom | What a photographer and a disco ball taught me about the kind of attention our culture is organized to prevent.

When Achievement Stops Working | On invisible frameworks, the permission no one else can grant, and what it takes to open your mouth.
