HWFO October 2022 Housekeeping

New merch, new site look, Elon, and a party

October was, I apologize, not a great month for new articles other than an expansion of our Environmental Suite and some fact digging on Nord Stream.

Nuclear Power and 526 Deer

The United States Military Probably Bombed Nord Stream

But October did see HWFO migrate into a tabbed index environment covering different topics for easier searching, and also saw us add some new merchandise to the merch store.

I got one of these, it’s really nice

This, however, got completely misprinted so buy at your own risk

It also saw Elon Musk start stealing HWFO’s material, whether he realizes it (yet) or not. Go bomb him with links and maybe I can get hired at New Twitter in the Egregore Department.

Handwaving Freakoutery @Freakoutery

@elonmusk JESUS ELON, QUIT STEALING MY MATERIAL! lol

I have also decided that despite Claire blocking me on Twitter during one of her pro vax pro lockdown Covid-19 rants, I’m going to attend the Quillette Social in New Orleans in early January. I get a writer’s discount. I know at least one other HWFO reader is going to be there, so if you want to make the trip reach out and we can monopolize a corner of the bar together or try and pick up neotrad girls. Or, if you’re a girl, you can try to pick me up. Information about that is in here someplace:

It’s a little pricey, and I don’t know if the fees include food and drinks or not, but the fees probably keep the rabble out.

Plans are still in the works for the first annual HWFOCon for paid subscribers, but the pool project that never ends has not, in fact, ended so I can’t give a firm date on it yet.

Subscription

This publication is and will always remain free to read, and any money earned through Substack subscriptions or Patreon will be dutifully spent on the author’s alcohol fund. Anyone who contributes to said alcohol fund will gain access to our private Slack server to discuss HWFO topics with other HWFO readers (and me) outside the public eye. Around 170 people are yammering away in there right now, and some of the article topics are born from these discussions. I’ll post an updated access link in a few days, as subscriber only content. If you’re a Patreon supporter you can gain access too, just email me.
