📚✍️ The viral TikTok trend of elaborate book annotations is linked to neuroscience #research showing that handwriting in margins improves memory and #reading comprehension. Researchers say marginalia helps readers develop deeper interpretations and maintain "learner autonomy."

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
