Prism Writing is a one-person mission to make quality research and education accessible to everyone—completely free. I create deeply researched, ad-free content examining the systems that shape our world: history, politics, law, economics, and self-sufficiency. My interactive Knowledge Graph connects ideas across disciplines, helping people see the bigger picture and understand how history, law, economics, and politics interconnect.
I built this entire platform alone—every article researched and written, every line of code, every design decision. There’s no corporate backing, no investors, and no ad revenue. Just one person trying to make information accessible. The financial struggle is real. While the site remains free for everyone to use, keeping it running and continuing to create new content requires time I can’t always afford to give when bills are due.
Your donation supports server costs to keep the site running, research time for new in-depth articles, platform improvements to make information more accessible, and my ability to keep doing this full-time instead of abandoning the project. This isn’t about getting rich—it’s about survival and keeping this work alive. Your donation, no matter the size, directly impacts whether this project continues.
I won’t sugarcoat it: I’m struggling. Building something meaningful while barely making ends meet is exhausting, and there have been moments where I’ve wondered if I should just give up and get a “normal” job. But I keep going because I believe this work matters. Access to information shouldn’t depend on who can afford it. The stories we tell about history, power, and society shape how we understand the world—and those stories should be available to everyone.
If this project has helped you, taught you something, or given you a new perspective, I’m asking you to consider giving back. Even a small donation makes a difference. Even sharing this page helps. And if you can’t donate right now, I genuinely understand. Times are hard for a lot of us. Just visiting the site, reading the articles, and sharing them with others means more than you know. To everyone who has already donated or supported this work in any way: thank you. You’re the reason this project still exists. I don’t take that for granted—not for a single day.
