They are few. They are specific. They are very easily met.
The researcher behind this library is a 58-year-old disabled woman living alone in Avalon. She has severe, untreated, structural spinal disease. She has been largely housebound and socially isolated since 2024. She is in constant, unmanaged pain. She produces all the work you see on this site through a phone and a desktop keyboard despite the fact that typing causes her significant physical harm.
She spent thirty years making sure thousands of other people had what they needed to do their work. She is now asking, plainly, for someone to do the same for her. That is the entire ask.
