I'm doing a thing!

After 27 years of rearranging pixels, I’m trading my mouse for a microscope and attempting to teach high school biology before the climate finishes us off. I’ve launched a Substack to document this mid-life metamorphosis, my recent autism diagnosis, and a vast collection of half-baked creative projects I’ll almost certainly never finish. It’s a digital graveyard for my works-in-progress—ranging from indie comic scripts to biological deep-dives—at various stages of "good enough to post but too much work to complete." Full disclosure: in the spirit of surviving the machine, I'll document using AI in other ways, I’m also hoping to claw back some extra money to offset the terrifying jump to teacher pay. Come for the science and self-deprecation, stay for the cynical-but-hopeful inner monologue of a 45-year-old starting over while their adult child looks on in pity. https://coryottenwess.substack.com/
