Journal of Ordinary Thought
Guild Complex
The Journal of Ordinary Thought publishes reflections people make on their personal histories and everyday experiences. It is founded on the beliefs that every person is a philosopher, expressing ones thoughts fosters creativity and change, and taking control of life requires people to think about the world and communicate their thoughts to others. JOT strives to be a vehicle of reflection, communication, and change.
