A brilliant source of thoughtful SFF criticism alongside short fiction/poetry and a welcome attitude of Internationalism within SFF fandom.
It's well worth checking @strangehorizons.bsky.social out and if you find value in what you find give them support so they can continue doing what they do.

New story from me @strangehorizons.bsky.social, my favorite I've written so far. It's about our love for books & history & our need to see ourselves in them.
A trans guy meets a beloved author in a dream, who he suspects was trans too. Then stuff gets weird.
