Editor's Note: Welcome to Astrolabe's new home!I wanted to expand briefly on my prior note about Astrolabe's move—if you'd like to skip straight to this issue's main content, you'll find a wonderful interview with Matt Wallace below.As you may or may not be aware, Substack (where Astrolabe previously housed) was revealed to be suffering from avoidable ethical lapses regarding the business model of their Substack Pro program—resulting in hurtful and harmful financial support of anti-trans writers under the guise of the fabled "neutral platform."I've been contemplating a move off Substack since December for their general stance regarding content platforming. Like many in the SFF community, this development convinced me I could no longer support the platform or its leadership in good conscience. So Astrolabe has moved to Revue. I expect you'll like it here as much as I do.For most of you, this has been a seamless transition. I've already imported my free mailing list, and reached out to paid subscribers to help them move to the new platform with as little hassle as possible, and with no added financial commitments. You can find out more about accessing Astrolabe's back issues here.Please reach out if you have any questions.If you'd like to learn more about the Substack situation, I recommend these posts from Jude Ellison Sady Doyle, Annalee Newitz, and Andrew Liptak.Onward to better things!-AM
