daily-ish short fiction recs! Clarkesworld August-June

I don't think I'm going to make it to Uncanny, alas. I'll try to finish Clarkesworld at least. I feel okay about that? Like, sure, could have done more if I started earlier, but three magazines isn't bad!

Teenagers from Outer Space, Dale Bailey. A story about immigration. *NOVELETTE

And Then, One Day, the Air was Full of Voices, Margaret Ronald. I like SETI stories and not-quite-contact stories.

Things With Beards, Sam J. Miller. Ohhh my god. So in the genre of The Thing fanfic, Peter Watts wrote one a few years ago that got nominated, and now there's this, which looks at The Thing through a very period-specific lens of AIDS and activism and queerness. Prediction: this one makes the Nebula ballot.
