Ruari Mears

Hey there! I'm Ruari, creator of "Society, Neurodiversity, & Cats!" – where personal experience meets social analysis, transformation meets understanding, and thoughts on social justice are often served with a side of very spicy—yet tasty—curry. Drawing from my journey through trauma, recovery, and personal growth, I explore the intersections of neurodiversity, class, politics, identity, and food ethics. As an educator, former actor, computer scientist, and passionate vegetarian cook, I bring diverse insights to my writing. Living in a beautifully neurodiverse household, I share authentic perspectives on everything from ADHD and autism to gender identity, mixed-race relationships, and social justice. I'll also share my culinary adventures – from growing extreme chilies to crafting vegan versions of Indian and Italian classics that challenge the notion that ethical eating means compromising on flavor. My writing examines how personal experiences connect to broader social issues, from economic inequality to systemic oppression, while exploring how our food choices reflect our values and connection to other sentient beings. I believe in the power of open dialogue and accessible knowledge – which is why—even though I do maintain a Patreon profile—all content will always be freely available to everyone, regardless of financial ability.
