The wonderful rcloenen_ruiz has a highly thought-provoking post up on The Future Fire editors' blog, and also as a guest post on kateelliott's lj, so read and post to whichever you like :)

Also, in the post Rochita mentions the We see a different frontier project, which I have been meaning to signal-boost in general, so! here :)

Internet bankruptcy has extended to not being able to catch up on my flist, as well as not being able to respond to comments. Sowwy :(

Er, and happy new year :) Yeah, I'm a bit late to the game; still trying to recover from the cold I got three weeks ago, which has settled in my lungs.

Anyway! Stone Telling 7 call for subs here! As rose_lemberg says, we're doing a queer issue because we want to see more queer poetry.

rachelmanija and sartorias speaking up against erasure:
