Love & Work is free to anyone who wants to imagine a different future as both an act of survival and a foundation for personal renewal and social transformation.
Information wants to be free, and it needs support to make it so.
In 1984, at the first Hackers Conference, Stewart Brand famously said, “Information wants to be free.”
What he actually said was a little more nuanced: “Information wants to be expensive, because it’s so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other.”
He’s right. Publishing information is cheaper than ever. But it still takes a lot of time and effort. And in an era where journalism is fragmented, underfunded, and often distorted by algorithms, the real challenge isn’t making information free—it’s making it trustworthy, meaningful, and worth people’s attention.
Researching and writing a weekly newsletter, and building and maintaining a living catalog of the resources I gather, takes considerable time and effort. So I offer a simple way for you to support the work behind it.
Help build a world that treats imagination as essential civic infrastructure.
Love & Work is a free public library, a place where anyone can come to explore their part in co‑creating better futures. By supporting this work, you help keep this resource open to all.
