Started listing some of [[my garden circles]] – digital gardens of people in different areas that I like to read when thinking on a particular topic.

[[Bayesian analysis]]

A couple of new notions following a chat with [[Flancian]]:

My favourite public libraries, mainly just due to fond memories spent in them:
+ Manchester Central Library
+ Vancouver Public Library Central branch
+ Barbican Library
Almost 800 libraries in the UK have closed since the Conservative-Lib Dem government implemented austerity in 2010. Very sad.
Listening to [[PALACES FOR THE PEOPLE: the future of public libraries]]
"Giving lives in a domain ranging from deep symbolism to basic housekeeping. It is the currency of the small-scale resilient community. It is sometimes magic, in that some kinds of gift can be given over and over again without loss—love, for example, and (in a different sense, since time cannot really be replenished) the gift of reciprocal service to each other. The “reciprocal” part happens, but not by arrangement. This is the opposite of transparency: you cast your gift upon the waters, and what comes back is trust."

Last [[node club]] of 2021! I am going to look at [[gift economy]]. (I was originally going to look at totalitarianism as I’m reading V for Vendetta but this feels a bit more festive). I am interested how gift economies relate to / differ from [[mutual aid]] and [[commoning]].
@ryan_faulhaber I saw your notes on anagora and like the stuff you’re writing about – are you still interested in pulling those in via ox-agora? I’d be happy to help.
