Rebecca Campbell (previously) has won the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for the best short science fiction of 2020 for "An Important Failure". It's a novelette "full of longing & fear for the woods" and "about creation in the face of climate change". Campbell's surveillance-focused "Such Thoughts are Unproductive" similarly resonates with fear and longing. Many of the other nominees are also available to read free online.
Well it’s pretty sawdusty in here apparently. Thanks, brainwane, that was beautiful and sad.

That was lovely.
I offer a weird bit of prescient cli-fi my grandfather wrote 100 years ago, when he was 21: "JEGERS MENTOEN, ANNIHILATOR."

Thank you for these pointers to online SF/F stories. I check in at lots of sites pretty regularly, but your posts here have gotten me to stories that I never would have found, on my own. In fact, the desire to thank you is what got me to sign up as a user here at MetaFilter, something that had been falling off my To Do List for years! :)

Her short fiction is fantastic, but also do check out her novel The Paradise Engine.
