Anyway, my sister-in-law would like me to remind everyone that speculative fiction magazine Strange Horizons (and its multilingual sibling magazine, Samovar) are 100% free to read, are always looking for stories by and about marginalized people (all flavors of queer/non-straight/non-cis and intersex, POC, disabled, etc forever), and pay their authors, artists, and translators professional rates for stories that are available to read for free online. They are especially proud to focus on content about a particular identity whenever bigots get up in arms about their inclusion (or, as was the case with the Sad/Rabid Puppies and the Hugos a few years back, have completely misunderstood what the magazine and its staff stand for).
Thank you, that is all.
Thank you for adding links! I know Tumblr can be wonky about stuff that gets linked in replies sometimes, so I wanted to give you a direct boost as well 👍
Anyway, yes! Everyone! Go check out Strange Horizons and Samovar!
(This post got way more popular than I expected it to, and I am living for it.)

Ah, Strange Horizons, they’ve published quite a few of my friends back from the old LJ days. I’d forgotten all about them. Ty for the reminder!
