Needless to say, it's been a bit of a week. A number of us (editors, writers, readers) have been scatterbrained or have cocooned, or have simply been tired. The result is that our current issue is currently... one poem. And reviews. (Props to the impeccable reviews department.)

More is coming. By the end of the week, we intend to have our second poem ready (maybe by the time you read this message it's already up), and new fiction. I can't tell you exactly when. But we're still here, still working. A bit slowly. A bit tossed around. But here.

On that note, we're getting pretty close to the end of 2024, and we still haven't published the Japanese SFF special issue we promised. That's still coming too! But it will come out some time in 2025.

Thank you for reading; for writing; for funding; for dreaming. If you keep coming back, we'll keep coming back too.

Despite the barriers between different cetacean languages, our song crosses the vastness of the oceans, traveling in sync with the currents and even traversing great expanses of land. Our singing conveys the concept of “hope,” which is how we define the wait until our home feels safe again.
When you falter, recall that age is not your master
Do you swallow big blue whale eyes straight out of the jar?
When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.
