from a conventional standpoint literally everything I do for researching my writing is really strange and kind of schizophrenic; I mean the core parts of it are an extremely obscure system of magik discovered by some graduate students at Warwick in the 90s. other things that I've researched include like actual ufology and paranormal studies, critical and feminist theory, some niches in programming and computing history, true crime, urban planning, the goth/industrial subcultures, indigenous pacific northwest languages, etc.
