👤 About

My name is Anakin Fox and I’m a 23 year-old digital gardener from Illinois. I enjoy learning and writing in my free-time, and this is the space where that occurs.

My garden contains most of my formal writing on topics such as the labor movement, organizing practices, and philosophy. These notes are densely-linked; tangential ideas are explored in related notes and can be discovered organically while reading.

  • Ness Labs
    • Cited by many, Ness Labs is at the forefront of personal knowledge management (PKM) and identifying how humans learn best. There’s plenty of great articles to explore that will shape the way you learn and write.
