oof. this was a really nostalgic but heartbreaking read - it's hard to see how to ethically have kids working on these kinds of shows under a capitalist system.

another excellent collection from tananarive due. she has a way of really coring you out and filling you back in with her stories, and the gracetown and post apocalyptic ones especially really got to me. the nayima stories especially me think of the gilda stories and has me itching to pick up The Reformatory - due does amazing worldbuilding in short works and i'm so curious to see how she crafts it in a larger work.
