This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Did you have a Drabble published in 2025? For one week only, you can submit it to our Best of Strange Fiction (2025) awards and anthology. https://foofaraw.submittable.com/submit/348961/best-strange-drabble-of-2025
Foofaraw Press - Best Strange Drabble of 2025
We are adding a last-minute category to our annual awards and Best of Strange Fiction anthology, The Foofs! Submit your best Drabble from last year. It must have been published in 2025. (Self-published Drabbles or Drabbles published at a market you read or edit at are not eligible.) One nomination per author only. Must be 100 words. We are looking for stories of the strange, surreal, speculative, and slipstream variety. Other genres we enjoy: bizarro, horror, thriller, absurd, experimental, magical realism, and plain ol' weird. Winning Drabble will receive $25 and publication in The Foofs 2025.

If one were to add a Best Drabble category to their best of strange fiction awards for last year (so anything published in 2025), with $50 prize money and publication in The Foofs anthology, would folks be interested..? Thinking about opening nominations for three days only...

I'm so excited for tomorrow to come so we can publish a new short story and get rid of this monstrosity of a long title, making all the other cards extra tall on our home page. 😝

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

So in response to “will you investigate people in the Epstein files?” Bondi brings up someone from Raskin’s district who was investigated, plead guilty, and was sentenced to 60 years in prison? I don’t think that’s the clapback she thinks it is… if anything, it sounds like she could use their help.
Bondi: He didn't even know Chase Mulligan was. He is a defendant in your own district who preyed on girls.
Raskin: Well, you know what? If he were part of the Epstein investigation, you wouldn’t do anything about it.

I think this solarpunk/hopepunk arc is deeply personal for me - sea levels will/are going up where I live.

So I was going to try something new for The Foofs and have nominations open all year long, but even before announcing it, I got multiple submissions that were either unpublished, self-published, or published prior to 2026. Is this due to poorly written guidelines or people just ignoring them?

March issue, which is going to print in ~4 days, is currently sitting at 120 pages and I’m still waiting on one more 4,000 word story, two interviews, and one short fiction review. I'm so incredibly excited.

No one tells you how time-consuming running a litmag is going to be... spent almost all day on Foofaraw, but didn't read a single submission or send a single agreement out... where did the day go…?
