Take a desk.
Join the Society
Signing up is free. It always will be. Every lesson, the whole archive, a desk of your own: yours the moment you make an account, whether or not you ever pay a cent.
Some members give a little more, so the library stays free for everyone. That's all the patron tiers are. Not a paywall: a hat passed at the door, for those glad to fill it.
Here are the three ways to belong.
Scholar
Free. Always.
- Every Tiny Curriculum, free to read
- Listen to any lesson, audio on the house
- The full archive, open forever
- Save lessons, track your progress, pick up where you left off
- Work toward Tiny Degrees
- Earn Laurels for your shelf
- A public profile, if you'd like one
Patron
$5 a month · or $50 a year
Everything a scholar gets, plus the tools to go deeper, and the good feeling of keeping it free for everyone.
- Printable packets for every lesson: annotation column, flashcards, crossword, essay, commonplace page
- "Go Deeper" reading lists, to follow the thread past the edge of the lesson
- Ready-made Anki decks, so what you learn tonight is still yours in a year
- Printable transcripts for your Tiny Degrees
- A vote in the monthly poll on what we study next
- The reason every lesson stays free for everyone else
Founding Patron
$100 a year
For the ones who want to plant a flag: to say a place like this should exist, and help build it while it's young.
- Everything in Patron
- Your name among the founders
- A founding Laurel
- Our lasting thanks, from one curious soul to another
However you join, you're a fellow student now. Pull up a chair.
Come be curious with me.
Your fellow student,
