Just ask your local independent bookseller to point you at the YBCFSF(V3). They'll know what you mean.

β€œThe Religious Education of Rotisserie Opera” explores the nature of belief in a closed ecosystem; is a manufactured metaphysics really so different than those social, cultural and religious frameworks in which we’re raised today? www.sciphijournal.org/index.php/20... #scifiJournal

I need a timeline cleanse. How about a table of contents announcement! That’s rightβ€”despite the world being on fire, it’s time to reveal the TOC for Year’s Best Canadian F&SF Volume 3! It was VERY hard to narrow the list down but it's all killer, no filler. The book launches October 14. Enjoy! 1/2

The Warfighter - Small Wonders Cadence noticed the warfighter on her way to school, and then later walking home along Sixth Avenue he was still in the tiny fenced park and there was a pigeon watching him, which the police had thought at one time was a good way to disguise a camera.

Today's reprint by @timothyquinn.bsky.social has relativity, bird bots, and questions of consciousness and identity. Meet "The Warfighter":

As I replace my paper library with ebooks, there are a few that I can't get rid of, like this copy of The Death and Life of Dith Pran -- signed by Dith Pran, survivor of the Khmer Rouge's killing fields.

Ah, I see the confusion. When RFK Jr says he's defending "medical freedom," he's simply protecting our right to die from the same horrible, preventable diseases that the founding fathers died from. #DontCoughOnMe
