Huge thank you to
@weightlessbooks.bsky.social
for featuring our special Mindlessly Massive issue. Weightless was basically my way in to the world of litmags outside Clarkesworld and Asimov’s and to be listed alongside so many awesome mags is still a thrill.

This still blows my mind. Iran agreed essentially not to build any nuclear bombs. The US negotiators did not understand they had made that concession. Hours later they were bombed.

Was planning on using the last two days to catch up on submissions, agreements, payments, etc. but then one of my dogs went and ate a sewing needle so I spent that time anxiously watching her like a hawk instead… it’s out now, but I’m still a little on edge so we might be behind for a bit.

Has anyone out there seen OBEX? I just watched it, and I'm not too sure what I just watched - which normally means I just watched something I won't forget. Is it a lo-fi retro

“The first issue of Quotidian Bagatelle, a new micro imprint focusing on fiction and poetry under 250, is a banger… Plos drops a dystopian nightmare. Our protagonist wakes up hundreds of years after entering cryostasis. The reason they’re woken up will send a chill down your spine” I’m speechless 🫣

Finishing up our best albums of 2025 (super late I know) and in an effort to tell all the cheapos out there to gimmie all their money, I wrote “card hold cash" instead of “cold hard cash" and I kind of think I like it... but don't want to look like an idiot…
