ICYMI, a wonderful review of The Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens by Lynn Hutchinson Lee dropped over at Strange Horizons. Review by Kyle R. Garton.
From SH: "This is folk fairytale refracted through contemporary litfic, unified by setting and 'a pervasive sense that reality itself is fuzzy.'"

Es ist schwer, sich nicht in der Reichhaltigkeit der Texte des Online-Magazins #StrangeHorizons zu verlieren. Was es da alles zu entdecken gibt!
Just backed Strange Horizons' crowdfunding. Looks cool.
Low enough that even if I don't read it, it's money well spent.

Strange Horizons has been nominated for the Hugo for the last 10 years and has NEVER WON... and it sorely needs to.
A lot of people don't know how important Strange Horizons has been (and continues to be) to our genre’s history...

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."

#StrangeHorizons has published a #wuxia #xianxia special edition and I think it's wonderful. There's three stories, some poems and essays on the genre. All for free.

Mastodon's @eldritch.cafe seems the right place to share my new #FolkHorror #poem in #StrangeHorizons

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
