Ooooh, I LOVE this question!

Lots of people keep journals with systematic diary entries, but I understand that it doesn’t work for everyone.

Here are some cool/interesting/fun/motivational/productive things you can do that don’t necessarily include keeping a diary:

Turn a Moleskine (or other notebook) into a planner/organizer/PDA/productivity system

52 lists

30 Days of Lists

Answer "50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind"

Start a gratitude journal

Create a "life handbook"

Keep morning pages

Start a scrapbook

Use journal prompts to answer questions when you feel like it

Participate in the 7-week Life Cleanse

Keep these 9 lists updated — REALLY useful things to keep track of!

Take notes as you learn something new

Use a notebook to keep track of goal-setting and productivity: 60 Ways to Improve Your Life in 100 Days

Keep a recipe book

Keep a reading journal/movie journal/music journal/fashion journal

Start a quote book

Make a travel journal — use it to plan your trip/vacation, then glue in transportation ticket stubs, itineraries, maps, photographs, dinner receipts at fancy restaurants, and write about your adventures

Doodle in it

Write poetry

Cut out and glue pretty pictures

Create a bucket list journal and record each item as you complete it

Does that give you enough ideas to start with? :)

Vantablack

British researchers have created the ‘new black’ of the science world - and it is being dubbed super black.

The material absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of light, a new world record, and is so dark the human eye struggles to discern its shape and dimension, giving the appearance of a black hole.

Named Vantablack, or super black, it also conducts heat seven and half times more effectively than copper, and is ten times stronger than steel.

It is created by Surrey NanoSystems using carbon nanotubes, which are 10,000 thinner than human hair and so miniscule that light cannot get in but can pass into the gaps in between.

Raising a child is like taking care of someone who’s on way too many shrooms, while you yourself are on a moderate amount of shrooms. I am not confident in my decisions, but I know you should not be eating a mousepad.

Paul never glamorized the gospel. It is not success, but sacrifice. It’s not a glamorous gospel, but a bloody one–a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel. Five minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more, wept more, grieved more, loved and prayed more, and given more.

I have been staring at this ask for a week now, anon, trying to figure out if I actually had an answer that wasn’t a keysmash and a gif of an explosion.

For all the time I spend trying to articulate the ineffable about my faith,...

but they are human beings. they need our empathy, or they will never change. i'm not siding with them and agreeing with their actions, but i know they need just as much love as the victims they perpetrate or the cycle will never end.

No sympathy for rapists, no sympathy for abusers, no sympathy for those who side with them. No excuses for their behavior, no justifications, no exceptions.
