Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

If you haven't read the short story "We Whose Fathers Have Transformed into Wild Animals of the Land, Sea, and Sky" by @spencerwriting.bsky.social from our 🌟June 2026 issue🌟, now's your chance! It's about what we inherit from our fathers, and you can read it here: havenspec.com/fiction/we-w...

An excerpt of the short story "We Whose Fathers Have Transformed into Wild Animals of the Land, Sea, and Sky" by Spencer Nitkey, in Issue 23 of Haven Spec Magazine (June 2026). The text reads:

Kaye dreams of killing his father. When I am not terrified of this dream, I am so jealous that I wish I could steal it through his lips. I don’t know what I’d do if I ever saw my father again. Kaye’s certainty calms me, violent as it is. Now, as Kaye stares down the sight of his rifle and the tremendous buck we’ve been tracking for three days comes up from the brush, he is closer than ever to achieving it. In the Sierra Nevada, mosquito-bitten and muddy, I am not jealous. My tongue tastes of pennies, and more than anything, I am sorry. I want to take Kaye in my hands, run his calloused fingers across my beard, and ground him in something, anything, other than the circle of his scope and his father’s beating heart.

The background is the issue's cover art, titled Red and Gold, by Carly A-F. It shows a skeletal figure with fire and branches for hair as they loom over a solitary human figure in the foreground.

Sometimes we come across a story so compelling that we just want to shout READ THIS at everyone nearby. "Silence, in the Doorway, With the Gun" by Nadia Radovich is one of those stories. Read this!

got angsty about how trans women are excluded from queer spaces, and i want to say - it doesn't have to be this way! ive seen queer publishers purposefully inviting trans women in, i have tme friends who are fiercely defensive of the girls in their community. we dont have to settle for the sidelines

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

@suchnerve
“I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?
