donating = loving

In 2020, I spent thousands of hours and thousands of dollars keeping Brain Pickings going. For nearly fifteen years, it has remained free and ad-free and alive thanks to patronage from readers. I have no staff, no interns, not even an assistant — a thoroughly one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood.
