Oh! I don't have the words to say how much Iove this story.
Today we have a story of the war in Ukraine, by a writer who lives in Kharkiv. Don't want to give anything away, but the swerve this story takes is brilliant. wigleaf.com

'In the Age of AI, the Former Hand Model Finds Herself Unemployed' - What a superb title! And the story lives up to it. Not surprised it was nominated for Best Small Fictions '26. Congratulations Becky🎉

Hideous licensing agreement from Red Ogre Review, but what really jumps out at me is the moral rights waiver
Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.
