Thank you!! We're so, so glad you're a part of it too—Spruceway is key to how the community themes grew to the forefront of how I conceptualized the issue in the end.

If you have one takeaway from this issue, I hope you'll see it as a call to community and collective action—a reflection that we can deprogram away from the confines of oppressive structures and orient towards justice and liberation. A reminder that we need to take care of each other on the way. 2/7

...I'm keenly aware of where my own language skills fail me, and yet how they are what I'm working with to connect to complex histories and family legacies.
I guess that's what I hope we'll do: our best, with what we have available to us.

And a more personal piece: I edited Singaporean writer @jiawrites.bsky.social 's story, Dark Night Suffused with Stars—which features a translator hoping to preserve the Chinese language in the far future.

I didn't set out to curate such an apocalypse-heavy issue, but it also feels fitting—because I always find myself grappling with the question and necessity of how to hang onto hope even when it feels like the world is in a constant state of emergency. 4/7

It's also funny to be sharing something so full of robots when we're being told, as creatives, that AI can replace us. But I hope the bots in this issue are a reminder of how we can still envision our futures in harmony with technology. 3/7
