After some months of neglect, this weed-filled patch of Web real estate is about to undergo a significant overhaul. There are a lot of ins and outs to these changes, a lot of what-have-yous, but the gist is this:

  • Later this summer, a new publication will be taking up residence at The Atavist. It will bring you original long-form journalism, written by a variety of fine authors. More details on this will be forthcoming soon.
  • Meanwhile, this blog and the other bits and links related to me, Evan Ratliff — who can utilize the third person with impunity now that he has done it dozens of times in print — will continue to be archived at the site for a while, just not on the front page.
  • The Evan Ratliff-related content on the site has also moved permanently to a new home: www.cazart.net. You will find that it looks very much the same, only there instead of here (if you are already there, this may not make as much sense). The email you find to your right will, with any luck, all remain operable.

I hope you’ll find yourself returning to check out the new Atavist before too long.

UPDATE 11/18: The site has changed over to www.atavist.net, along with the emails. The old links and emails will continue to work, but please update to atavist.net from here on.

As previous visitors will note, I’ve made some changes to the site in the past week. Please let me know if you come across any errors, broken links etc. (The site has also been down off an on for a few days, due to unrelated trouble at my hosting company, but that is hopefully now resolved.)

Also, please note that in the next few weeks the whole site will be migrating to a new domain: www.atavist.net (in fact, if you go to that domain now it will bring you here.)

My email addresses will also be changing, from @atavistic.org to @atavist.net. The old addresses will continue to forward, and the old web site links will work.
