A witchiversary
Has anything changed in the last 2 years?
I was interviewed by The Newsletter Crew not long ago (if you want to learn more about how Evil Witches is made and my plans, or not-plans, for its future) which made me look up its paid subscription launch date—it was exactly two years ago today. It’s changed a bit in the last two years—haven’t we all.
Below is just a look back at some of my and other folks’ favorite issues over the last two years, the witchy mix of journalism, humor, crowdsourcing, and essay (a list I put together while my 6-year-old was in bed next to me showing me how good he is at crying like our dog.) If you have enjoyed Evil Witches, I hope you give it a shout-out on your social media today, mention it in your newsletter, or forward it to a friend. Thank you to everyone who has written in, subscribed, submitted, RT’ed commented, all the things. This thing is witch-powered.
