This is a cruelty. Nigerians are creating some of the best speculative fiction in the world, and it is crucial that they be represented at WorldCon. Shame on the Irish embassy in Nigeria.

- Strange Horizons grieves the passing of Maureen Kincaid Speller, our head of Reviews. Maureen was a pillar of the Strange Horizons family. She illumined all our lives with her warmth, her care, and her generosity. Our hearts are with Paul, and all her other loved ones.
- If volunteer-run online magazines can figure out how to publish translations without full-on copyright infringement, the British Museum has no excuse. Translation is part of the artistic process and needs to be compensated and credited.Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

- Replying to @strangehorizonsI want to point out that we've never had a WorldCon in all of Africa, ever. Time for that to change. If folks won't let Nigerians in, it's time to bring WorldCon to Nigeria.
