Activated Thinker — 200 Followers in a Week
Introducing a few writers and updates
On a random Thursday (last week) we were born out of nowhere.
June 19, 2025, mark our birth.
We’re not afraid to shout what’s on our minds. On that day, you saw and came like there’s no place like this one.
We’re all people of habits while trying our best to write and find a place called home.
No, this is not a fancy, but a very real feeling of belonging.
We each have our path to go, yet the short moment we walk through our articles.
We found what resonates, we keep what we love, and drop the non-sense that we read anyway.
Featured Stories
Now, I present you with a couple of writers who stand out to me.
If your name is not mentioned, I’m sorry, I can’t read that much.

The story that almost got featured yesterday
When it comes to featuring, it’s pretty straightforward. I start scrolling through the articles that were published that day and pick the title that stands out the most to me.
I have to read like a reader for the best result when choosing which article to feature. At the moment we have 200 followers, which may seem like a good amount of people, but we know most of them are writers that does not read or engage much here.
Take it as a fun activity.
Here they are.

They are all great, but I can only choose one at a time, or else the next time around we’ll have to wait for a week or so.
What I’m sharing here are also ways you can grow your publication when you feel it’s the right time.
Growing A Publication
Since we are talking about publication, here are some tips to help us grow, and also may help you when you’re ready to create one of your own.
What you need to know of how much or many writers are actually interested in your writing, what you write, and the way you interact as a writer.
Once you feel the time is right (no perfect timing), but whenever you feel that you work so hard or near burnout, it’s a good time.
Because it means you are putting in effort that nobody can see, this goodwill compounds over time, but they do have cycles and expiration dates.
What they say is, “Don’t let a crisis go to waste.”
Use your writing instinct to determine if the time is right; you can always do it again if it doesn’t work out.
Keep in mind, once you start one, you have responsibility, very much like giving birth to a child or running a business of some kind, i.e., nonprofits.
Here’s Why Publication Tag Works
Publication tags are not just a random tag; they link the stories that use this tag and let the algorithm know who to show it to.
The more someone interacts with stories under a publication, the higher the chance their feeds will be filled with this or that publication.
Tags or topics mean the same thing here.
Since most people read based on feeds and notifications, it’s an edge that you can’t afford to not be a part of.
There’s a web of networks that is connected to each tag, and that is how the distribution works, along with the publications being used.
I would like to take this chance to thank everyone who came and supported this publication, whether as a reader or a writer, it’s all good stuff that helps us reach more people and grow together as the rules here.
I also practice writing a story for you to read.
Thanks for Reading
