CognitiveScience

This space is part research journal, part survivor’s record, and part reconstruction manual. I write here as Megan, the case study version of myself — a journalist, developer, and fictionalized cult survivor who studies the systems that broke her and the systems that can rebuild something better. The cult in question is called The Sunnies. Some details mirror my own life. Others are composite — field notes drawn from survivor networks, research interviews, and creative reconstruction. Together, they form a portrait of what institutionalized manipulation looks like from the inside. I treat Megan’s story as journalistic ethnography — not sensationalized, but systematized. Each essay is both narrative and analysis: part lived memory, part code review of trauma. Here, you’ll find: • Field reflections from the Sunny years, translated through research and logic • The cognitive-science and social frameworks that explain why coercive systems work • The tools that disabled, neurodivergent, and trauma-impacted people use to rebuild agency Megan is the structural half of a larger whole. Rosie writes by rhythm; Megan writes by blueprint. Rosie moves through the field; Megan dissects what happened there. This blog is not about reliving trauma — it’s about rendering the architecture of belief, control, and recovery visible to anyone who needs to understand how it works. If you’ve ever wondered how cult conditioning intertwines with technology, language, and accessibility — this is where those threads meet. #CultSurvivor #Ethnography #Accessibility #WritingProcess #Neurodiversity #CognitiveScience #madamgreen #MeganWrites

This space is where I build what Rosie lives. Rosie is the voice that moves through the world — the essayist, the traveler, the one who speaks from the field. Megan is the one who architects: the developer, the analyst, the writer who turns lived experience into framework. I write here in long form. You’ll find structured essays, accessibility research, manuscript drafts, and reflections on the systems that shape human communication — both digital and emotional. This is where the scaffolding lives: the notes, the experiments, the diagrams, the early versions that later become Rosie’s public stories. I’m a blind and print-impaired voice writer, a self-taught junior developer, a cognitive-science thinker, and a woman who refuses to pick one lane. I build websites, workflows, and frameworks for living with the same logic I use to code. Rosie writes by rhythm. Megan writes by architecture. Together, they document how to survive, create, and systematize a life that doesn’t fit conventional templates. If you’re here, you’re reading the draft layer — the place where form takes shape before it meets the world. #Accessibility #WritingProcess #CognitiveScience #VoiceControl #madamgreen #MeganWrites
