When it comes to animals and the animal experience, we love anthropomorphization. Spreading stories and poems that explore animal POV is a key facet of our mission. We have no interest in doing the same to LLMs and other forms of GenAI that negatively impact creative communities.

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.

We are plum pleased with our new bsky banner. The art selected for Issue 06 is particularly wide, and so we had to choose which vertical section to use on the cover. But now, we also have a new, glorious banner image to boot! Thank you, @brucedraws.bsky.social for your wonderful work.
