Our small contribution to the resistance is to publish a bevy of speculative stories and poems—be they eco SF, military SF, mundane SF, horror or magical fabulism, literary or pulp—that give us a taste of this resistance. Whether they remind us of the importance of small rebellions, of the unexpected resilience and even sensuality of wild nature, or of the superpower that is even surviving in a world that sometimes doesn’t seem to want you to, these stories all refuse to go quietly. Like all rebels, they play with the blurred line between appearance and reality. Sometimes rebellion is about filling in for others, overtly or otherwise; or it’s about the long game, the ability to tolerate setbacks in the name of eventual victory; it is about the sometimes impossible, sometimes unnoticed choice whether to be a victim or a fighter. Revolution requires resilience, sometimes multigenerational.
