OTL is a ✨celebration✨ of knowledge justice. We're still in our soft launch & looking for contributors to help us show what an independent publication can do for our collective work. No tone policing, both-sides-ism, or justifying the fact that we can and should do better. What do you have to say?

It's early days, but we're hard at work growing our reach, and setting up things like DOIs to make your work count in the ways you want it to. It all comes back to people and stories. You're our people, let's tell your stories.

Independent media rules!
We're doing a fundraising drive for one more year of librarypunk. Hosting and recording costs money, and we'd really appreciate your support to keep the show going. Everything we make will continue to be free for all, but we wanted to offer ways for people to show their support.
