One (1) biscuit full of yummy choco

• Before the World Crumbles Away by AT Greenblatt - (cw: suicide) An artist and a tech designer meet in a park, during the end of the world. This is a story about optimism and struggling to engage and find connections even in an apocalypse, learning to confront a future where maybe things won't get better but still staying on your feet.
• The Dragon That Flew Out of the Sun by Aliette de Bodard - History as a terrible and many-sided thing. A young girl trying to find the truth of why her people are refugees, and their enmity with the people who caused it.
• things you don't say to city witches by Cassandra Khaw - A poem about exactly what the title says.
• Nice Things by Ellen Klages - A woman returns to her mother’s home after her mother’s memorial service. A beautifully haunting piece about their fraught relationship and the power of memory and ritual. By the author of Passing Strange, which I already said I love!
• Lest We Forget by Elizabeth Bear - A story about memory, guilt, terrorism and war crimes. This one digs its hooks into you. Also casually convergent with my current interests in (fictional) infectious disease and parasitology, thank you Resident Evil.
• A Catalogue of Love at First Sight by Brit E.B. Hvide - A woman growing up and building a family in a world suffering from major climate change and ecological disaster. I know it sounds very simple, but I found it profoundly moving and hopeful. I love themes about family, love, loss, and the ways we deal with grief and try to shield ourselves from hurt. Also featuring a bi female protagonist.
• Canst Thou Draw Out the Leviathan by Christopher Caldwell - The last voyage of a doomed whaling boat. Content warnings for a racist slur and some homophobia, but there is a happy ending. Happyish, at least. Features an interracial M/M relationship.
• The Cinder Girl Burns Brightly by Theodora Goss - A Cinderella retelling in poetry.
• Cavity by Theresa Delucci - "The first time you meet a murderer, you are in kindergarten." Sharp, dark, and biting. This story has a whole section of content warnings at the beginning, but still manages to end with a visceral satisfaction.
• Translatio Corporis by Kat Howard - This is a lovely and gorgeously weird story about bodies, cities, illness, and what it means to create something out of your own substance.
  

If you click through, most of these stories are from Uncanny Magazine. I am cheerfully biased because I bought a subscription and am binging through it right now!
