Fed up with your world? Visit ours. Picture of the Clarkesworld robot looking over at the cover of our February issue. That cover features a robot looking out at the sea while standing on the beach with their hands clasped behind their back. The water comes gently towards their feet. Peaceful ocean and sky. A contemplative moment of peace. Cover art by Matt Dixon.

Canada’s doctor shortage is no accident It was policy.

Both in Canada and the U.S., governments explicitly chose to train fewer doctors. We’re still dealing with the fallout.

And another:

"Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul."

"I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from heav'n
Thank when I was a boy."

I spent a year of my life writing collaborative fiction with eleven incredible writers; each story is followed by a collaborative deep-dive into the craft of our stories/work and the techniques we used, as well as what worked and what didn't.

If you write, this book is a GOLDMINE. Get yours now.

Son Heung-Min to return to Spurs for Slavia Prague Champions League match Sonny never got a proper goodbye in front of Spurs’ fans. Now he will.

Son Heung-Min will be remembered as one of Tottenham's all-time great players, but he never got a chance to say goodbye to the fans. Until December 9. Get the tissues ready.

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. πŸ™ƒ It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline.
