A couple of years ago, I got into the whole Personal Knowledge Management thing via *How To Take Smart Notes*, *Building a Second Brain*, and, of course, the Bullet Journal. While it's what led me to my Books in Conversation project, I was relieved when I came across the concept of "extractive reading" in Max Liboiron's *Pollution is Colonialism* and, to some extent, Catherine McCormack's *The Women in the Picture*. I'm slowly reverting to how I used to read before--not trying to drag everything out of a piece of work, but letting it sit with me as a full-fledged entity.
As part of that project, I saved a number of online articles, and even if I no longer want to build a second brain, I do want to preserve the ones below--and what better place than my website?
Both because of the length of the list and the nature of the publications, categories were appropriate. (Yes, I do enjoy science.)
