I am so confused by slippy stairs. Why would they make them that way? Why would they leave them that way? Why do mine have almost no railings anywhere? Just...why?

I did not know that was a thing, but I see it is readily available and affordable. Thank you! That seems like the easiest solution by far for our weird triangle steps.

What should I put on these stairs so I don't slip and fall down them again like I just did? They are so unreasonably slippery and it makes my cats (and spouse) worry when I fall!

I think part of our work as horror writers in 2024 is to help people unlock the parts of themselves that can face terror and adversity without losing their humanity & goodness. We are entering an era of fear and horror like our species has never faced. We need heart.

About that vague announcement: Happy to announce that FF will soon be launching a sister magazine, Saros Speculative Fiction! The goal of Saros will be, of course, to publish more great fiction, but also to give those interested the opportunity to work as an editor for an issue!

Update: I went to buy another old scythe to restore for the spouse and the guy was actually selling 4 old scythes and he sold me all 4 for $50 and now I have 6 project scythes (that I will likely combine the good bits from to make more like 3 properly functional scythes). This escalated quickly.

It's been a while (I've been super sick, home renovations are *a whole thing*, settling into a new-to-me county is also *a whole thing*) since I've been able to read, write, or think much about stories...but we're back! Stay tuned for a whole host of new #sfstoryoftheday recommendations this summer.

It is true! They are so neat. Being able to reap my meadow in a more humane and graceful manner than a noisy, fume-pluming gas-powered mowing machine would allow feels very neat indeed.

And if you are in Canada, there's ScytheWorks in British Columbia:

I'm not sure where good scythes are purchased outside of North America, though it seems like they're not hard to find in the UK.

I don't know if new tools speak to you (they certainly don't have the appeal of old tools in general), but if you are in the USA there is a scythe supplier in Minnesota who is supposed to be very good:

That *nightstand* oh my gosh what a beautiful thing you made (with hand tools!!!). I am so impressed. Gorgeous tools too. Finding vintage scythes for sale is hard! I might actually cheat and get a new one from ScytheWorks because this one is heavy and sized for someone about a foot taller than me.
