About Horsefeathers Magazine

Horesefeathers Magazine is the only online self-help magazine you'll never need. If you ever feel inadequate in any area of life you'll be sure to find advice right here that'll help make everything much worse.

We are a staff of highly incompetent writers with a severe lack of life experience, so we believe we're uniquely qualified to write articles about how to improve yourself.

We write articles about life, love, society, education, career and other useless garbage. These articles are guaranteed to help you make all the wrong life decisions.

Who's the demographic for this online magazine? Fuck if we know – the way we berate people we don't imagine anyone actually reads this shit.

Backstory

Why "Horsefeathers Magazine"?
"Horsefeathers" is a synonym for "nonsense" which all of this basically is.

What's with all the characters?
Besides the fact that I love bad puns, this allows me to be twice removed from the content. These articles do not reflect my views, beliefs or opinions (you tell me what the difference between those is) – cowardly hiding behind fictional characters makes me believe I'll surf the politically correct waters a bit more smoothly and breathe the clean air on my moral high ground.

This is primarily a one-man show. I do all the writing, illustrations, webdesign and programming myself. I do have a great friend who – after months of intense bribing with exposure bucks – has agreed to help me edit the content to actually make it funny.

On a more serious note

This is obviously satire. The advice given on this site is questionable at best. The hope was just to make you smile and maybe think about the ridiculous and arrogant notion of self-improvement and lifestyle magazines, self-proclaimed "experts", fake gurus, and influencers that they somehow know how life should be lived. It's your life; you figure it out.

Some technical notes: If you're wondering why there was no annoying pop-up about cookies and personal data it's because this site does not use cookies and doesn't handle any personal data – because that honestly shouldn't be necessary for running a good website. Anyone who claims otherwise just wants to monitor you (probably primarily for monetary gain from targeted advertising but that really shouldn't be a valid excuse for mass-surveillance). For full transparency: The hosting service does offer some very basic stats about traffic – country, browser and device – but that's all that gets tracked.
If you experience any technical issues with the website, please do send a message through the feedback page (which of course only sends whatever you type in), so I can fix it.
