Does anybody else read sic fi magazines? I subscribed to Analog this year becasue they're doing a retrospective for their 90th anniversary and it's been nice getting bunch of short stories every other month in the mail.

I'm a longterm subscriber of Clarkesworld which sorta-kinda counts. It's a cheap way to have curated short stories force-fed to my e-reader. It also carries a lot of translated stuff from Asia which is neat.

My dad had a subscription to Analog from 1974 to when he died in 2003. I don't know if it's still like this, but for a huge part of that time about every third story was about Smart Rugged Individuals Being Engineers and Not Caring About Your Feelings in that smug libertarian STEMlord sort of way, and about every other issue had The Alternative View, a science "fact" column written by a guy who never met a perpetual motion machine or infinite energy generator he didn't believe in with his entire soul. The contrast was hilarious.

I'm not really sure if there are ones in that category that actually take a serious look at softer social sciences. Except maybe like the Mars trilogy?

I don't generally begrudge the pointdexters having their little power fantasies where they get to swirly the jocks for a change but man they've built some toxic fandoms. Anyway I'm pretty intrigued by this thread, I like short stories but just looking online for "good short stories" is a bad time

Not sci-fi, but my partner and I run a print-only fantasy magazine: From the Farther Trees. Our second issue just came out! It's very much in the spirit of DIY fanzines from the 1970s, printed at home and bound by hand, but with awesome progressive stories from some amazing (and literally award-winning) authors.

I sometimes do illustrations for Aurealis, it's an Australian spec fiction magazine. It's cheap, and the (mostly emerging) writers are paid so they go through two or three readers to ensure the quality is good. Also good variety - hard SF, cyberpunk, fantasy, horror, pretty much anything speculative could be in any given issue. https://aurealis.com.au/
