“Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we must all take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”

Love the sounds, rhythm and directness here and its sly humor. Thanks.
Charles Payseur's always incisive (and astonishingly comprehensive) Quick Sip Reviews this week covers TFF #59, and has lovely things to say about almost all of the content. (And stick around for recommendations of pieces in Strange Horizons, Clarkesworld, Deadlands, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Diabolical Plots…)
Alex Brown lists Aimee Ogden's “A Luxury Like Hope” in their round-up of Must-Read Speculative Short Fiction over at Tor.com, calling it “a hopeful story about recovery amidst ruin.”
