BY: KARLO YEAGER RODRIGUEZ

Haven't read this one yet but posting it as a reminder. Karlo's stories are always interesting, it's usually creepy or dark and often deals with themes salient to #PuertoRico and #Latinx people in the diaspora.

Kai Ashante Wilson on queer sf now, and what the loss of LGBTQIA+ bookstores has wrought: " I—a techno-optimist up until recently, I’m ashamed to admit—used to believe the internet would revolutionize discoverability for every kind of book that anyone might ever be searching for. I was naïve, however, and boolean operators haven’t been a boon to all of us."

Hi, I’m AJ. I’ve been one of the Senior Poetry Editors at #StrangeHorizons for ages. I wrote award-winning #poetry collection “The Sting of It” and #queer #lgbtqia #gatsby #novel retelling/sequel “The Pursued and the Pursuing.” I’m #jewish and #nonbinary as well as an #intersex and #autistic activist. I teach at San Juan College in #newmexico and regularly participate in programming at #arisia in #boston and #worldcon wherever it may be - nice to meet you! #introductions #introduction #intro

I first read this story back when it came out in 2019 and still think about it on the regular -- I absolutely love #RossShowalter's work & "Water Through Our Hands" is a great example why; fantastic prose, plenty of eerie weirdness, & wonderfully complex characters

Stories We’ve Seen Too Often, a list of story themes published years back by Strange Horizons. ‘This is a snapshot list of types of stories that the editor team […] was seeing too often at one point in time; it's not intended to be a complete list of all types of bad stories, nor are all the items on the list necessarily bad.’ Makes for interesting reading nevertheless.
