New from Reckoning X, our collectively edited 10th anniversary issue themed on communication, "Dr. ______ and his Thousand Children" by J.R.

Today from IT WAS PARADISE, our issue on war and conflict edited by @SoniaSulaiman@wandering.shop, "Adobo Sky" by Caroline Hung originally appeared in Nonprofit Quarterly in 2023; it's a bonkers, far-future flash story which falls satisfyingly in the ACAB camp: https://reckoning.press/adobo-sky/
