When a semi-pro journal goes down, we all feel it. New magazines pop up every year, but few make it and stick around to cement in the industry's consciousness. When a long-running publisher closes, it leaves a hole that takes a decade to fill.

On Spec magazine had a do-it-yourself ethos, a positive mandate, guided not by lucre, but by art and passion and inclusivity. The best aspects of fandom. After 35 years it shut its doors ... but also earned its first Hugo Award nomination. I'll be voting for On Spec for Semiprozine. 1/2

"Lucky Child #8" is a great story by @colincalexander.bsky.social in @radonjournal.bsky.social #13. It sort of sneaks up on you and then follows you home. And, you know, that's alright.

Lucky Child #8 | Issue 13

Radon Journal Issue 13 featuring science fiction and anarchist literary works. Poems and short stories to make you rethink the social schema.

Anarchist zine creation and ownership were used by the fash to throw the book at activists who dared to have empathy for their fellow human. Anarchist publishers will continue on with even more impetus.

As a trans anarchist zine publisher, this is meant to frighten me. But I know these bitter fascists will not outlast us. We are too many and we possess long memories.
