Calling all concept-driven science fiction short stories (and novelettes) published in 2025! I'm looking for bangers I might have missed that fit this brief: compellingsciencefiction.com/posts/call-f...
If you can share this with your favorite SF author/publisher/editor, I'd be grateful!
And if you don't yet enjoy Clarkesworld, go check it out! Consistently great collections of short fiction each month.
Okay, so, question...I keep seeing story after story of some new crap the current administration is doing, but are the Democrats doing *anything* about it? Anything at all? I know they're the minority in both the House and the Senate, but surely they can be doing *something*?
The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

Thank you so, so much, @mikemcmahan.bsky.social and all the #LowerDecks crew for this amazing show. This last episode was awesome and so much fun and a great final note, and, yet, I am so deeply sad that it's over. Cerritos Strong!
