Ohhhhh Post Hacking for the Uninitiated by Grace Chan was incredible, probably my favorite piece so far in this issue

Also loved De Profundis, a Space Love Letter by Bella Han. Remind me to look up more of their short stories later

Ohhh oh my god I really felt Such Is My Idea Of Happiness by David Goodman

That whole chapter on the rampant sexism going on at her job reminded me of every unpleasant interaction working as a Business English instructor, augh augh aughhhhhh

Ohhhhhh this book is INFURIATING. I was reading it in bed but was getting so irritated I had to get out and start pacing around. I can see how this book kicked off a whole anti-marriage movement in Korea ahaha
Fiction: - "Stones" by Nnedi Okorafor - "The Queen of Calligraphic Susurrations" by D.A. Xiaolin …
Axiom of Dreams by Arula Ratnakar was, wow, what a world. Some of the dialogue was a little hokey but for the most part I was enthralled, love big meaty hard science fiction when I can get it
The People from the Dead Whale by Djuna and translated by Jihyun Park and Gord Sellar is far shorter but just as gripping. Note to self, look up more Djuna stories later
Fiction: - "Every Seed Is a Prayer (And Your World Is a Seed)" by Stephen …
Empathetic Ear by M. J. Pettit is less spec-fic and more modern-day nightmare
Fiction: - "Every Seed Is a Prayer (And Your World Is a Seed)" by Stephen …
Light Speed Is Not A Speed by Andy Dudak is one of those stories that I wasn't sure I liked until I got to the end and found I was completely engrossed, and now I can't stop thinking about it. What an evocative world built in relatively few pages
Fiction: - "Every Seed Is a Prayer (And Your World Is a Seed)" by Stephen …
This issue starting off pretty strong with two great stories that are going to haunt me for a while: Every Seed Is a Prayer (And Your World Is a Seed) by Stephen Case and Window Boy by Thomas Ha

舞台は海が見える穏やかな田舎町。 近所には本屋さんもレコード屋さんもないけれど、スマホであらかた手に入る。 そんな令和の高校生「シャンハイ」と「アイジ」が知らず知らず惹きつけられたのは、どういうわけだか「紙の雑誌」だったーー
だったら作ってみたらいいじゃん!
クラスの主役タイプではないかもしれない彼らが出来心で起こす 「静かな革命」ーーいったい何が巻き起こるのか!? 懐かしくて新しい文化系青春ストーリーの始まりだ!
【編集担当からのおすすめ情報】 手持ちの武器は閉塞感と焦燥感、そして初期衝動。
「ZINE(ジン:自主的な出版活動を指すことば)」というジャンルがあることすら知らずに、見よう見まねで「雑誌のようなもの」を作ってみたいと思った2人を、深くて濃ゆい「沼」が待つ!

Solid issue as always. Standouts for me were Day Ten Thousand by Isabel J. Kim (clarkesworldmagazine.com/kim_06_23/) and imagine: Purple-Haired Girl Shooting Down the Moon by Angela Liu (clarkesworldmagazine.com/liu_06_23/). To Helen by Bella Han (clarkesworldmagazine.com/han_06_23/) and ...Your Little Light by Jana Bianchi (clarkesworldmagazine.com/bianchi_06_23/) were also quite good
