It's been brought to my attention that in the first-of-the-month June rush, I forgot to post the new issue of @lunastation.bsky.social! A travesty, because among all the other great stuff within, just look at that cover: weightlessbooks.com/luna-station...

Luna Station Quarterly Issue 066 cover, featuring the words:
"It would have been so easy to have AI generated art for this issue's cover. You know this. But if we had done so it would have gone against everything LSQ stands for. We are storytellers. We are art makers. We share our best, deepest selves, with courage and hope for connection. We are humans making things for other humans and we don't want to live in a world where that is devalued. Stand with us."
