I need people to focus on the real issue here: the value of creative labor, aka jobs. This is not about whether or not it qualifies as "art", whether or not it looks bad, etc. All of that is a just a distraction when we live in a world where we need to work to in order to live.

Hi all! Strange Horizons and I (Terrie Hashimoto) will bring you a Japanese SF special issue in 2024 if the first stretch goal is met. Please consider supporting and sharing the thread to make it happen! 🙏
