In 2020, I wrote about how purpose fits into personality psych. In 2023, I wrote about if/how purpose meets Allport's criteria for a trait.

By putting in your address and select an issue you care about, it provides you the number of your representatives and a script on an issue. Calling is one of the best way to make our voices heard.
