Happy Earth Day!

To celebrate, the Memberships that make this whole thing happen are 50% for a whole week.

Why a whole damn week?

Because around here, Earth Day, birthdays, and certain album releases are observed for at least seven (7) days.

Get 50% Off Fam

When you join the Membership, you’re not only supporting our:

  • Research

  • Essays

  • Newsletters

  • Podcast

  • YouTube

And all the variations on these existing things we otherwise make available to the world for free, but also (!) new and future things, like:

  • Guest essays!

  • Our secret tool which has nearly broken me and will finally come out this quarter!

Bottom line: the more Members we’ve got, the more we’re accountable to you and only you, instead of sponsors or VC’s with impossible expectations.

Which is why we’re here today: to ask you for $25.

❝

When you become a Member, you are — as they say — unlocking the commons.

You aren’t just trading a few bucks a month for your content, you’re unlocking it for everyone.

You’re saying, “I want this work to continue, and I want as many people as possible to have access to this content, so I’m going to contribute, because I can, and lots of other people cannot.”

Hell Yeah I’m Good for $25

We help countries, companies, and people answer the question, “What can I do?”

What you can do today is make sure this work continues.

Become a Member and you get:

  • Vibe Check: your own personal INI news feed

  • Half Baked: weekly Member editions of things I haven’t figured out yet

  • The Thunderdome: An invite to our Slack community

  • And VERY SOON: early access to betas of our tool! 👀

Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for giving a shit.
