This project was born out of a simple frustration: that much of what shapes our world is either flattened, rushed, or deliberately softened. That history becomes spectacle. That geopolitics is reduced to noise. That long memory is treated as inconvenience.
FURIOSO publishes essays, op-eds, and dispatches that sit with complexity rather than running from it — pieces that take time to write, time to read, and time to linger.
There are no click quotas here. No growth hacks. No obligation to please algorithms. Just the work, and the reader.
Support keeps FURIOSO independent — and allows the work to remain slow, research-led, and editorially honest.
No tricks. No popups. No “urgent” countdown timers. Just a clean way to keep publishing.
This is not a content prison. Most work stays public. Membership is how you keep the machine quiet.
No outrage treadmill. No dopamine formatting. No “content calendar” that forces the world into neat posts. Just pieces that earn their own length.
You’re choosing the clean baseline. This keeps the work independent, slow, and unbothered by algorithms.
You can cancel anytime. Your support goes directly into publishing — research time, writing time, and keeping FURIOSO independent.
If you want, add a “gift” checkout later. For now this is wired as a simple email capture so you can follow up.
A simple dispatch: new essays, occasional notes, and nothing algorithmic. (This is front-end only — wire it to your email service later.)
Better tagging, reading lists, and a calm way to find older work without doom-scrolling.
Occasional physical editions: one piece, one object, properly made. No merch treadmill.
Long-form investigations that need time — and documentary pieces that sit with reality.
Add a yearly page with basic totals, goals met, and what you shipped. It signals seriousness without becoming corporate.
(Wire this later to report.html when you create it.)
This is an on-site form (front-end only). If you want it live, wire it to Formspree / Netlify Forms / your backend.
If FURIOSO becomes a studio later, this is where you keep the clean door open: a media kit, a collaborations note, and contact.
Keep it spare. The point is credibility, not corporate vibes.
Is this a paywall?
No. Most work remains publicly readable. Membership is about keeping the project independent and sustainable — and occasionally receiving early access or extras.
What do members get?
Early access to some pieces, occasional members-only dispatches, downloadable editions, and invitations to future talks or screenings as they develop.
Where does the money go?
Research time, reporting time, archival work, publishing costs, and future long-form projects — including film work and print editions.
Can I support without subscribing?
Yes. Add a one-time support link when you’re ready (Stripe “payment link” works well). For now, subscriptions are the cleanest baseline.
Do you take corrections seriously?
Yes. If something’s wrong, it gets fixed — and if it’s material, it’s noted. You can add a “Standards & Corrections” page later to formalise it.
Will this become ads and sponsors?
If it ever does, it should be rare, disclosed, and aligned. The default is: no. Support is the cleanest model.
