Beneath Ceaseless Skies Issue #200 by Catherynne M. Valente, Scott H. Andrews, Yoon Ha Lee, Kameron Hurley, Seth Dickinson
5.0

this short story proves once again that kameron hurley is *the best* at worldbuilding and using her stories to provoke very interesting and new questions. i've really enjoyed her novels but her recent patreon short stories are excellent as explorations of themes that she's always referenced: the economics and culture of war, gender norms, and funnily enough, what exactly gods and monsters are. well worth the money!
