Supporting the Project

Hi all! Welcome! I’m getting a lot of emails about ways to support the project. If you’re interested in collaborating or volunteering check out the Get Involved page, and if you’re interested in buy the book or donating (any amount, it’s pay what you want!) you can do that here. Thanks!

Major Site Updates!

Hope you enjoy!
