Any magazine suggestions?

I've been diving headfirst into the world of short story magazines and found some absolute gems!!

Khoreo Magazine has been my absolute favourite so far! I 100% recommend it. Diaspora-focused speculative fiction, usually with very novel story telling techniques and beautiful artwork.

Clarkesworld I've found to be pretty hit and miss, though the hits make it worth it! Some really great new and established authors with vivid sci-fi stories.

CRAFT has been great for a more literary and CNF bent.

Do you subscribe to any creative magazines? If so, which ones? If not, why not?

I wasn't aware that this was a thing, but I'm interested now! Are these printed magazines?
Can I also ask what CNF is?
- Nearly all are digital now, but they're the successors to the old pulp magazines. I think Locus is still a print magazine, though :)
  CNF = Creative Non-Fiction
  
  Ah neat! Is it like a monthly subscription sorta deal?
  I'll definitely check out some of the ones you mentioned. Diaspora speculative fiction sounds like a very specific genre!
Uncanny Magazine has had some really great pieces over the years.
I got turned on to it because some of the people behind it feature regularly on a podcast network (The Incomparable) that I routinely listen to.
- Ooo forgot about Uncanny. I've read a few editions, might be time to get the old bank card out.
