A Special Offer For Free Subscribers

Thanks so much for being here!

Sep 11, 2024

Hi there!

First of all, I wanted to thank you for being a reader of my work. That so many (thousands!) of you read my writing really humbles me, and I’m very glad you’re all here!

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but I’m now offering a 25% discount on yearly subscriptions to From The Forests of Arduinna.

This is a permanent discount, meaning that if you use it now, the yearly price will always be at this lowest rate for you. So if the cost of yearly subscriptions goes up, you’ll still always get this rate. And the yearly subscription is already much cheaper than the monthly rate.

This also gives you access to the full archive of paid essays, including my entire The Mysteria series, my recent essay “The Body Is Never An Interloper,” and these other favorites of mine:

The Immigration Crisis

Rhyd Wildermuth

Aug 7

This is something leftists all knew until class consciousness got replaced with the false enlightenment of social justice. Immigrants are not the enemy, but disruptive mass immigration is one of the enemy’s weapons. When a large group of us (remember — I’m an immigrant) move into a place, we will change it no matter whether we want to or not. This is even more true if the communities into which we move have already begun to fall apart through cultural erosion or economic damage.

Again, I deeply appreciate you being here, whether or not you can become a paid subscriber at this time. Thank you, and be well!
