I cannot provide any useful thoughts on 2025 SFF overall because between The Horrors + researching and drafting my own book + being kinda burnt out from award judging in 2024 I barely read any SFF between January and November, BUT I can affirm that these are all REAL REAL GOOD.
2025 was a nightmare... & an amazing year for short fiction.
On my newsletter, I rounded up the stories I think you need - for your soul, & your award ballots

I'll shout them out here, as well!

Like this is amazing for unhoused people, a dearth of public bathrooms is totally about creating a hostile world for them, but also speaking as someone who is on Metformin and has a sibling with ulcerative colitis just being able to easily find somewhere to POOP in a sudden time of need is so great
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Saturday announced an initiative to install more public bathrooms across the city.

Have any of you developed solid strategies for getting necessary intel and updates without immediately flipping into rage mode? The facts are one thing, I want those, but the toxic hate and justification from the mouthpieces of Death Cult running the show truly truly spike my blood pressure

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going

But I've spent 30 years adoring artists who've responded to U.S.-backed atrocity.
