Weekend Reading & Recs: Attention Is a Political Act

What Are We Building With What We See?

We’re surrounded by relentless noise—breaking headlines, performative outrage, and media spectacles that demand our attention. In that chatter, it’s easy to get pulled into the swirl—to react, scroll, and to play the game. But attention isn’t just a passive resource—it’s a political act. What we look at, dismiss, or linger on has consequences. In a moment like this, strategic attention—focused, reflective, intentional—is one of our strongest tools.

This weekend, let’s choose where and how we direct our gaze—shifting from the noise to what builds clarity, structure, and possibility.
