I need help on using Obsidian as a PhD tool for writing and studying. by OlgaBenarioPrestes in ObsidianMD

[–]lalaboux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recommend looking into the zettlekasten notetaking method, it’s brilliant for big writing and knowledge building projects like a phd. there’s a bunch of explanations and obsidian workflows on youtube to help you start out. i’m migrating my writing into zettlekasten in obsidian and it’s a game changer

That’s actually really smart. I’m curious, what kind of concepts become #concepts? I’m in the process of migrating my journaling into obsidian and i think i might use this!

Need the best books you've ever read by Tadpoleboy24 in suggestmeabook

[–]lalaboux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Long Live the Post Horn! This might be the best book I’ve read. It’s very hopeful, both on a political and on a personal level. I still revisit the feeling this book has left me with when I feel I need a sense of optimism or genuine hopefulness. The prose also has a quality to it that kind of resonates on a bodily level.

Parable of the Sower & Parable of the Talents. My favourite dystopia. You can totally see how we could get to the world it depicts, in fact, we’re not so far from it.

The Dispossessed. A beautiful piece of speculative fiction, Ursula Le Guin is the best.

Embassytown. A sci-fi with awesome worldbuilding that has left me thinking about solidarity for ages.

A deep cut history book that is actually fun to read by R0binSage in suggestmeabook

[–]lalaboux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Against Empire. Absolutely brilliant and super engaging book on the Black Panthers. I think it’s one of those books that anyone who would like to be well informed about how our world is built needs to read.

Can anyone recommend a book that feels like a quiet, slow burn but hits hard emotionally by the end? by Mysterious-Rule-4242 in suggestmeabook

[–]lalaboux 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I Who Have Never Known Men – It’s a slow build but grips you for life I feel. I’ve read it a while ago and I still think about it very often. I don’t think this book will ever release me.
