Michigan has just passed a corporate servitude law. It is designed to take away many of the worker rights that unions have conferred throughout their history: the right to a living wage. The right to equal pay for women. The right to deferred payments in the form of pensions. The right to negotiate workplace standards and working conditions. The law is intended to destroy unions, or at least make then ineffective. The deeper truth about unions is that they don't just create and maintain rights for workers; they work for and create crucial rights in society as a whole. Since Democratic candidates tend to support the same progressive views, defunding unions would take away their power to campaign for Democratic candidates.

Language matters. Progressives and conservatives have opposing views of democracy. Conservatives don't accept this truth, if they perceive it at all. The press is not being neutral in using the Republican name for the law. Networked Knowledge and Combinatorial Creativity. By Maria Popova Why creativity is like LEGO, or what Richard Dawkins has to do with Susan Sontag and Gandhi.

In May, I had the pleasure of speaking at the wonderful Creative Mornings free lecture series masterminded by my studiomate Tina of Swiss Miss fame. I spoke about Networked Knowledge and Combinatorial Creativity, something at the heart of Brain Pickings and of increasing importance as we face our present information reality. The talk is now available online — full (approximate) transcript below, enhanced with images and links to all materials referenced in the talk. These are pages from the most famous florilegium, completed by Thomas of Ireland in the 14th century. Florilegia were compilations of excerpts from other writings, essentially mashing up selected passages and connecting dots from existing texts to illuminate a specific topic or doctrine or idea.

In talking about these medieval manuscripts, Adam Gopnik writes in The New Yorker: You may have heard this anecdote. Do stuff. The Daily Routines of Famous Writers. By Maria Popova UPDATE: These daily routines have now been adapted into a labor-of-love visualization of writers’ sleep habits vs. literary productivity. Kurt Vonnegut’s recently published daily routine made we wonder how other beloved writers organized their days. So I pored through various old diaries and interviews — many from the fantastic Paris Review archives — and culled a handful of writing routines from some of my favorite authors.

Enjoy. Ray Bradbury, a lifelong proponent of working with joy and an avid champion of public libraries, playfully defies the question of routines in this 2010 interview: My passions drive me to the typewriter every day of my life, and they have driven me there since I was twelve. Joan Didion creates for herself a kind of incubation period for ideas, articulated in this 1968 interview: I need an hour alone before dinner, with a drink, to go over what I’ve done that day.

E. I never listen to music when I’m working. Photograph by Tom Palumbo, 1956. Anas Nin on Love by Debbie Millman by BrainPickings. Susan Sontag Quotes Page 3. The Art of Being Still. Draft is a series about the art and craft of writing. Many of the aspiring writers I know talk about writing more than they actually write. Instead of setting free the novel or short story or essay that is sizzling at the ends of their fingers, desperate to set fire to the world, they fret about writer’s block or about never having the time to write. Yet as they complain, they spend a whole lot of that precious time posting cartoons about writing on Facebook or putting up statuses about how if they only had more free time they just know they could get their novels written. They read books about writing and attend conferences, workshops and classes where they talk ad nauseam about writing. However, they spend very little time alone, thinking, much less hunkering down somewhere and actually putting words on the page.

The problem is, too many writers today are afraid to be still. Most writers today have jobs or families or responsibilities, and most often, all three. Sarah Williamson. Brain Pickings | Love - Part 13. 05 JUNE, 2013By: Maria Popova “Do not amend by reasoning, but by example; approach feeling by feeling; do not hope to excite love except by love.” “Anxiety is love’s greatest killer,” Anaïs Nin admonished.

“It creates the failures. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. Swiss philosopher, poet, and critic Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821 — 1881) — a man of brilliant mind and tormented soul — is one of those peculiar figures who, not unlike Anaïs Nin herself, attained only marginal acclaim for their formal body of work, but whose posthumously published private journals have gone on to become timeless masterpieces of philosophy and literary thought. In the original introduction, French critic M. The man who, during his lifetime, was incapable of giving us any deliberate or conscious work worthy of his powers, has now left us, after his death, a book which will not die.

Among Amiel’s greatest, most abiding insights are his conflicted thoughts on love. Charles Darwin's List of the Pros and Cons of Marriage. By Maria Popova “My God, it is intolerable to think of spending one’s whole life, like a neuter bee, working, working, & nothing after all.” “The day of days! ,” wrote 29-year-old Charles Darwin in his journal on November 11, 1838, after his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, accepted his marriage proposal. But the legendary naturalist wasn’t always this single-minded about the union. Just a few months earlier, he had scribbled on the back of a letter from a friend a carefully considered list of pros (“constant companion,” “charms of music & female chit-chat”) and cons (“means limited,” “no books,” “terrible loss of time”) regarding marriage and its potential impact on his work.

The list, found in The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, Volume 2: 1837-1843 (public library) and also available online in the excellent Darwin Correspondence Project, was dated April 7, 1838, and bespeaks the timeless, and arguably artificial, cultural tension between family and career, love and work, heart and head. 7 (More) Children's Books by Famous "Adult" Literature Authors. By Maria Popova What a magical car engine has to do with social justice, a parrot named Arturo and the history of jazz. A week ago, we featured 7 little-known children’s books by famous authors of “grown-up” literature, on the trails of some favorite children’s books with timeless philosophy for grown-ups. The response has been so fantastic that, today, we’re back with seven more, based on reader suggestions and belated findings from the rabbit hole of research surrounding the first installment.

Aldous Huxley may be best known for his iconic 1932 novel Brave New World, one of the most important meditations on futurism and how technology is changing society ever published, but he was also deeply fascinated by children’s fiction. In 1967, three years after Huxley’s death, Random House released a posthumous volume of the only children’s book he ever wrote, some 23 years earlier.

The Crows of Pearblossom tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. The wonderful We Too Were Children has the backstory. The Best Science Books of 2012. By Maria Popova From cosmology to cosmic love, or what your biological clock has to do with diagraming evolution. It’s that time of year again, the time for those highly subjective, grossly non-exhaustive, yet inevitable and invariably fun best-of reading lists. To kick off the season, here are, in no particular order, my ten favorite science books of 2012. (Catch up on last year’s reading list here.) “Six hours’ sleep for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool,” Napoleon famously prescribed. In fact, each of us possesses a different chronotype — an internal timing type best defined by your midpoint of sleep, or midsleep, which you can calculate by dividing your average sleep duration by two and adding the resulting number to your average bedtime on free days, meaning days when your sleep and waking times are not dictated by the demands of your work or school schedule.

The distribution of midsleep in Central Europe. The scissors of sleep. Chronotypes vary with age: Stewart writes: 30 Amazing Resources for Sass Lovers.
