We need help. My husband drives delivery for a bakery and their truck broke. He's gotten no work shifts for 7 days because the bakery's mechanic is super behind due to understaffing because people are calling out sick. We're going to be $685 short on rent because of this.

From left to right: Abi Stevens's FF#24 cover (a psychedelic and colourful space whale dwarfing an observatory, amidst planets and a rocketship), Nickolej Villiger's FF#25 cover (featuring comic-book style art of 9 different scenes from the issue's stories), and Evelyne Park's FF#26 cover (a painting of a woman's face surrounded by shards of glass and fragments of a noh mask, all containing different eyes).
For awards season, I'd like to take a moment to hype FF's 2025 cover artists. FF's cover art is commissioned, based on stories from each issue, and @abistevensart.bsky.social @almosthomefree.bsky.social and @evelynepark.bsky.social did an incredible job of bringing these stories to life!

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.
