The Basics of Commonplacing

A commonplace book, to me, is simply a place to collect ideas. Here now is a collection of resources about, well, the collecting of ideas.

Commonplace books are traditionally analog; many of these links talk about analog notebooks and what to do with them. I have sporadically kept commonplace items on index cards, and I’m looking to combine this practice with an honest-to-God notebook practice as well as a digital version here to track what I find, particularly online.

Here is the ultimate piece, in my mind, about commonplacing, by Alan Jacobs: “Commonplace Books”: The Tumblrs of an Earlier Era (The Atlantic). Sadly, Jacobs is no longer on Tumblr, but his piece is still worth a read.

A ton of other articles and blog posts follow here:

reminder since we're gettin another wave of bots:

if you don't distinguish yourself from a bot, just any sorta indication that a human made the blog, like a funny pfp or description, or even a disclaimer that you're a lurker, then you're almost certainly gonna be blocked n reported for spam when you follow people

لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله،

Tonight, innocent people are dying in several places in Sudan as the war has officially broke out as of this morning, and yet there is so little coverage about it. Black Muslim lives that are located in Africa ? Nobody cares.
