@rachelcordasco.bsky.socialI did a quick search for "blood" in the "SFT out in 2026" page and...there's a lot of blood, you guys.🤔
@litbystraylight.bsky.socialI'm excited about this upcoming #SFinTranslation: Ten Chinese SF authors were asked to imagine China 100 years after the Covid-19 pandemic.
10 authors and 8 translators swarming a common concept seems like an interesting case study!
@rachelcordasco.bsky.socialSecond work of 60s/70s French #SFinTranslation I've read now where plants/trees have agency. 🌳🌱

@kdsbooks.bsky.socialOrdered the paperback editions. That ScifFier code from @scifiscavenger.bsky.social is paying dividends. Well, to him. It's emptying my bank balance after four orders..

THE FORMOSA EXCHANGE from @honfordstar.bsky.social
"On May 20, 2024, one day after the inauguration of Taiwan’s first Indigenous president, the entire population of the island wakes up to discover they have suddenly switched places with the residents of Cuba...."
@rachelcordasco.bsky.socialA massive achievement that will enrich readers for a long time to come-
@rachelcordasco.bsky.social@rachelcordasco.bsky.social“World SF is, we feel, a step in the right direction. Its General Meeting should be an exercise in communication, a bridging of a vast gap, a cross-fertilization." - from "World SF General Meeting 1983: A Proposal For Zagreb, Yugoslavia, June 21-25, 1983"
@rachelcordasco.bsky.socialReading this proposal for a World SF meeting in Zagreb, Yugoslavia from 1983 (sent to World SF org members) and it is something else- funny, whimsical, confident.
@rachelcordasco.bsky.socialWOW. Just found a short "letter to the editor" (from 1982) from Jean-Marc Lofficier, editor of Black Coat Press, to the World SF Newsletter! So cool!
