• Relatively quiet oncall day.
• Talked to friends: [[S. Z.]], [[A. M.]], [[J. F.]]. [[B. A.]] of course.
• [[videoeditbot]] seems like a good example of a non-trivial twitter-based tool.
• Heard about https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/langston-hughes [[langston hughes]] thanks to [[barbedcatpenis]].
• Heard about [[integrationism]] thanks to [[ablueaeshna]].
• [[bmock]] told me about his planned comic and it sounds cool. It’s about a [[society by animals]] on the edge of [[human civilization]]. Also about [[common sense]] by [[thomas paine]].
• [[levity]] is likely into [[social knowledge graphs]], h/t [[abstractfairy]].
• [[L.]] told me about [[Prisión Perpetua]] by [[Ricardo Piglia]]. Lots of possible interactions with Flancia I think. I’m going to read it.

[[Outlining vs writing]]

This dude is a bit.. overly passionate about why he thinks [[Obsidian]] is better than [[Roam]].

I don’t have a horse in that race. But his points on outlining vs writing, and databasing vs writing, are interesting.

I don’t think he actually said in what way Obsidian is better for writing. But he says Roam is good for ‘connector databasers’, and Obsidian is good for ‘connector writers’.

It’s been on my mind for a while as to how I can best use org-roam for writing.
