Hey folks, I'm really sorry about this, I know I told a lot of people I was going to publish wednesday but unfortunately that's unlikely. It sounds stupid but I've a fucker of a toothache and can't focus on anything. Godswilling I'll be going to the dentist on friday and getting four of the dental rapefugees forcibly deported from my jaw.

Nothing fancy, just stuff like local mood, what lockdowns are like, how the economy is etc.

I need to get an idea of what people want out of this, so buckle up buckaroo. All the polls that allowed multiple questions were either paywalled or spyware so there's a separate link for each question:

Question 1: https://www.strawpoll.me/45528750

Question 2: https://www.strawpoll.me/45528755 (edit: There seems to be a huge bug in how strawpoll handles multiple selection questions, so I'm disregarding this one).

Question 3: https://www.strawpoll.me/45528757

Question 4: https://www.strawpoll.me/45528762

And that's pretty much it. Thanks for your responses, please spam anyone else you think would be interested with this post. If you volunteered to produce content in the last post I'll be in touch to chat with you about it.

Some ideas:

White pill content:
Short stories (1000-4000 words)
Flash fiction (<1000 words)
Snippets of history (1000-4000 words)
Serialised novellas (1000-4000 words per episode)

Practical content:
Recipes
DIY projects and photo essays
Fashion
Prepping and innawoods
Almanack (tides, dates, moons etc.)

News:
News digest
Factual articles (1000-2000 words)
Interviews (500-1500 words) (may be censored or edited to avoid doxx or remove incriminating content)
Reports from the Front (1000-2000 words) (Descriptions by goats from around the world of conditions in their area, may be censored or edited to avoid doxx)

Art:
Photography
Well crafted memes
Cartoons
Political satire (like zyklon ben)
Lyrics, with or without sheet music

Entertainment:
Puzzles (crosswords, mazes, wordsearch etc.)
Film reviews (~500 words)
Book reviews (~500 words)
Horoscopes

Classifieds:
Subverse ads
Online social events (like guitar fridays or movieswithgoats)
Competitions
Humerous fake ads
Giveaways
Ads which involve anything IRL, like physical products, dating, meetups etc. won't be run.

Currently planning to run as a quarterly. Goats willing to make a regular contribution are particularly welcome but one offs are fine too.

Original content is preferred, but it's perfectly fine to share existing material like a recipe you found that worked out particularly nicely or an old story you particularly enjoy. Try to avoid copyrighted content, if this takes off I'd prefer not to be doxxed via DMCA.

I also plan to invite a handpicked goat once a month to write a political piece, just one though: I don't want that to become the entire newsletter.

A goat pointed out security issues with PDF, so we'll likely release in a CBR format.

For now I'm not planning to include anything involving instructions to create weapons, especially explosives, but unfortunately also guns as I don't want to get V&.

* Letters to the editor are welcome under 200 words. I will probably also recruit a co-editor at some point.
