I caught the universe reading my diary, so now I’m publishing its secrets as revenge porn.
Nathan R Thomas
My work exists in that sweet spot where paranoia meets prophecy, cataloging what happens when reality breaks character and starts ad-libbing. I’m obsessed with those moments when everyday life gets too self-aware: when algorithms start sending drunk texts at 2AM, when strangers deliver suspiciously perfect dialogue, when coincidence drops its amateur status and goes pro.
CURRENT WORKS
TRANSIENT
A memoir where addiction and psychosis compare origin stories, then realize they’ve been dating the same reality.
Transient isn’t about hitting rock bottom; it’s about discovering rock bottom has been taking notes on your performance the whole time. It tracks what happens when brain chemistry and cultural programming file for divorce, and the custody battle over what’s “real” gets messy. Less redemption arc, more cosmic gaslighting with pharmaceutical side effects.
ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
Essays for people who’ve caught their coffee machine practicing dialogue when it thought they weren’t home.
Where Transient reported from inside the breakdown, these essays autopsy the cultural myths we’re supposed to swallow without chewing. They’re for anyone who’s suspected recovery narratives are just surveillance capitalism in a caring font. I’m not offering answers; I’m documenting the glitches in our collective programming before the next patch update.
METHOD / APPROACH
I treat language like the universe treats me: with suspicious intimacy and calculated distance.
I document the cost of compliance when institutions demand wellness performances, and collect evidence when cultural narratives get too coordinated to be coincidental.
These aren’t inspirational journeys toward wholeness. They’re forensic reports from someone who caught reality editing its own script.
