How to Keep a Commonplace Book

You don’t need a second brain.
You need a first soul.

A commonplace book won’t make you more productive.
But it *will* make you more alive.

Here’s how to build one - and why it might be the most important thing you ever do:

I’ve been engaged for literally years at this point and I JUST learned today that a fiancée is an engaged woman and a fiancé is an engaged man.

🆕🚨: Senator Cory Booker has just delivered the longest speech in Senate history—surpassing Strom Thurmond’s infamous filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

THANK YOU, SENATOR BOOKER, for standing up and speaking out!

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

13 hours down. This man is incredible.
Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

Bringing this over from Threads so people could be aware. This is… not a good look to say the least.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Take your meds.
Take your vitamins.
Hydrate.
Rest.
Hold close your friends and family.

Taking care of ourselves and our community is also resistance.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.
