The kickstarter is up for an anthology I'm in. My story "The Menopause Chrysalis" is featured within. It's a weird tale about a Two Spirit person dealing with menopause, the medical system, and the dream world.

Animals on Country: Let's Look After the Animals with Uncle Kuu by Victor Steffensen and illustrated by Sandra Steffensen

Title: Animals on Country: Let’s look after the animals with Uncle Kuu Author: Victor Steffensen, illustrated by Sandra Steffensen Genre: Non-Fiction Publisher: Allen and Unwin Published: 2nd…
Some of these short stories were really good.
3/5: In the introduction, editor Joshua Whitehead says that the anthology had originally been dystopia themed but after everything (namely covid and the world being on fire), the focus was shifted to utopias. I’d say it’s still very dystopian and that makes it a bit heavy reading. There is a hopeful silver lining in each story, though. This was a mixed bunch. Some stories were very good, some would’ve needed a LOT more work. My favorites were Abacus, Andwànikàdjigan, Seed Children, and especially Eloise.
