We've just received confirmation that F152 will be distributed by the middle of next week. We apologise again to members for the delay and reassure them that we are putting in plans to avoid this in future. We'd also encourage non-members to join the SFF - your support will help to strengthen us.

The next piece to be unlocked in the @strangehorizons.bsky.social fund drive is a really great review essay by Paul March-Russell of @sffoundation.bsky.social, on the latest from Francis Spufford. It goes deep, in a number of ways - and we need less than $2000 to get there. Do help if you can!
