Hey, guess who's got two thumbs and is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, I guess the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.

It's here! Feels especially nice to shout about this issue and these incredible authors today, on the first day of Pride Month. It feels like there's been lots of bad news lately: book bans, censorship, publishing turning against queer stories. But... queer art isn't going away, not now, not ever 🧡
