99% of the world is dead. In a small Minnesota town, 1 woman writes the monthly local paper but it’s actually an epic horror story mailed to your door.

Go flaccidly amid the noise & haste.
Go ahead, flop: get completely flat, absolutely mollusc boneless, slither & ripple along like a sidewinder, devolve into a blissfully frictionless goo, reject your spine & slip through the day in silky indolence like the mellow unhurried globules in a lava lamp

The right’s preferred gender ideologyβ€”one of male supremacy, women’s exclusion from dignity, citizenship, and vast spheres of public life, and an enforced heterosexuality of eroticized dominationβ€”is much more prescriptive, aggressive, and ubiquitously pushed than anything coming from trans people.

Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, β€œthe heart of what FEMA does.”

SCOOP β€” Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary β€˜2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

a very bristly bumblebee collecting pollen in a wild chicory flower.

from wikipedia:
The flower heads are 3–5 cm (1+1⁄4–2 in) wide, and usually light blue or lavender; it has also rarely been described as white or pink.

The wild chicory blooming at first light, and dying in the highest heat of day. It may not mean much to many, but it means everything to a bumblebee and to me.

Yesterday, I saw @marisakabas.bsky.social post that she was writing about someone new in the Trump administration who was "a turducken of evil," and I thought to myself, "This better not be about FEMA," and reader, it was absolutely about FEMA.
