The 2025 Rhysyling Anthology! Edited by @pixieb.bsky.social and published by @sfpoetry.bsky.social

Hi! We're Baubles From Bones, a small sci-fi fantasy zine based out of Pittsburgh, PA. Here you'll find hopeful and often queer stories and poetry about found families, environmentalism, and adventure by an eclectic mix of new and established writers. Check us out! baublesfrombones.com

My shattering and beautiful slipstream prose poem “The Oubliette” (written Winter 2024) from my ongoing “All Islands are Hydra” cycle will be in this issue. This one was difficult to submit and share with the universe as it’s from my heart/soul.

BFB5 coming May 28th!! Lucas Kurz is back again with another beautiful cover! The story this cover is inspired by is "Idesvied Defied" by Charlie Winter. We absolutely adore Lucas's work and love how this one turned out -- cute and cozy but still with an underlining moodiness. 📚🪐 💀

BFB5 features work by: @awinterplace.bsky.social, @pixieb.bsky.social, @katherinetraylor.bsky.social, @michaeldburnside.bsky.social, James Rowland, Kelsey Dean, @odinmeadows.bsky.social, @kitcalvert.bsky.social, Matthew Cote, @madihaab.com, and Mackenzie Knowles

They are using her body as an incubator. She was less than 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead, but the state of Georgia is keeping her alive until she gives birth.

Rage!! hired to edit/proof “sword and sorcery” genre and am fired because I use Sprague-de Camp (“whodat?”😡 really?!?!?) as the style guide and do “Show, Don’t Tell”/count “goo”/“ooze” as redundant synonyms and there’s 54 uses of “good” as filler in 62 pages- don’t hire me! I’ve standards. #Writers

Reminds me of this XKCD (ht/@xkcd.com):
