I have always written and journaled, primarily as a means to make sense of my inner world, as well as the outer world I experience, and the people in it, whose experiences, personalities and knowledge I find so fascinating.
However, in the last few years, as I came to terms with my trauma as a late-realised (soon to be, maybe, late-diagnosed) neurodivergent human, I found that I really enjoyed sharing it, but struggled to do so for various reasons.
This year, as I finally got out of working for universities, I did my research into where I could be happy sharing my writing. That’s what this Substack is for!
In it, I plan to write and share my interests, my learning, and my struggles, as well as those of others who inspire me.
I also aim to share about mine and others’ action research, projects and my independent practice with my company Ozymandias Intelligence.
What you can expect:
A lot about systems, and how to change them - whether economic, social, political or institutional, from multiple perspectives. I am currently thinking a lot about the role of emotions, cognitive change and personal transformation here.
Still a lot about how to preserve and rehabilitate our natural and social systems so that we prioritise well-being, interdependence, abundance and diversity.
My discoveries, learning and reflection on intersectional environmentalism.
My personal experiences about being neurodivergent - having not known this for years through masking, and how I have managed this.
Probably some forays into the rabbit hole of ancient and indigenous forms of knowing about being well and connected with ourselves, each other and with nature.
Some poetry and prose that come up from being open to feeling the pain and suffering of the world in polycrisis - conflict, climate catastrophe, genocide and fascism all affect this and I want to write more about it as a means to navigate.
Just a preview and a way of helping me plan what to do with this space.
I am excited to start sharing soon!
Cheers,
Alex
