👏👏 I'm proud to be Niitsitapi. 🦬

Remember whose land you're on.

I always encourage people to learn the names of the nations' traditional territory wherever they live. Learn the history, too.

LAST TEN DAYS FOR GENERAL SUBS! Give us your best relationships!!
We're open for early subs from Dec 24-31! If you're an equity-deserving writer, send us SFF short fiction (500-3,500 words) & poetry.

Not sure what we want? Less fabulism and more entrenched fantasy/scifi. We'd love pieces that deliver on the promise of their title (show us the monster!!)

Cover letters can feel intimidating but, please, when you use AI to write them for you, we automatically distrust your writing. It doesn’t matter if you click the ‘didn’t use AI to draft/generate’, you’ve already fed your words into the plagiarism machine.

We *want* your human awkwardness.

Exciting! On one hand, I didn't think a sequel was needed because it was incredibly well-done as a standalone. On the other hand, I watched Godzilla Minus One 3x in theatres, which I rarely do nowadays for any movie, and I enjoyed it so much; I will definitely be watching the sequel!

These systems that allow ICE to kill and terrorize communities come from settler colonial law. The same law that stole Indigenous land, and justified other violence, like stealing Indigenous children and putting them into Indian boarding/residential "schools" under the Doctrine of Discovery.
