Finally got around to printing off a bunch of the essays and articles that I had saved on my computer for a while. I find it makes it easier to get myself to actually get around to reading some of the stuff. Paper is also a nicer reading experience, with less distractions and eye strain.

I like to read while I eat (and annotating makes it easier for me to read in the first place with my dyslexia) so printing out stuff I'd otherwise be reading on my phone has been a really nice new habit.
Can't get distracted and I also get to see my initual thoughts later!
(Are.na has a lot of free pdfs btw!)

i've always been a paper guy. i think it just helps me think through what i'm reading if i'm reacting to it in a separate place.

My desk is cluttered with loose paper full of notes on books and articles and Wikipedia pages I read and half-read. writing down the things that stick with me helps me commit them to memory, and knowing things is nice, especially when the information isn’t particularly applicable in my every day life…

Any pi.fyi rec (by someone else, not yourself) that you saw and then acted on yourself - read the book, listened to the album, watched the movie, tried the activity, etc.

A search engine that filters out commercial websites so you can discover weird, small websites on different topics. I wouldn't use it as my main search engine but it's a cool way of finding stuff you otherwise wouldn't.
