Description
This exciting and groundbreaking fiction anthology showcases a number of new and emerging 2SQ (Two-Spirit and queer Indigenous) writers from across Turtle Island. These visionary authors show how queer Indigenous communities can bloom and thrive through utopian narratives that detail the vivacity and strength of 2SQness throughout its plight in the maw of settler colonialism's histories. Here, readers will discover bio-engineered AI rats, transplanted trees in space, the rise of a 2SQ resistance camp, a primer on how to survive Indigiqueerly, virtual reality applications, motherships at sea, and the very bending of space-time continuums queered through NDN time. Love after the End demonstrates the imaginatively queer Two-Spirit futurisms we have all been dreaming of since 1492. Contributors include Darcie Little Badger, Mari Kurisato, Kai Minosh Pyle, David Alexander Robertson, and jaye simpson.… (more)

Of course, between me
Which is a shame because I really enjoyed this anthology. None of the stories underwhelmed, a handful of the authors I remembered from the first anthology, and most of them I would love to see more writing from. I really liked all of these, but I think my favorite stories were "Nameless" by Nazbah Tom (an elder teaches her gift of Traveling to call home their people), "Seed Children" by Mari Kurisato (a wise-cracking "synthetic human" fights to secure a future for synthetic children as Withering Earth fails), and "Story for a Bottle" by Darcie Little Badger (a young woman is kidnapped by an out-of-touch rescue boat run by AI that thinks it is saving her).
I hope people continue to find this little gem despite the trash fire it was born into.
