Jeff Annihilation
Happy publication day to SUNSET AT ZERO POINT by Simon Stålenhag, the renowned creator of The Electric State. This new work of retro-futuristic dystopia within the mysterious zone of an abandoned Swedish military facility, evokes the worlds of Jeff Annihilation & Station Eleven.

The right’s preferred gender ideology—one of male supremacy, women’s exclusion from dignity, citizenship, and vast spheres of public life, and an enforced heterosexuality of eroticized domination—is much more prescriptive, aggressive, and ubiquitously pushed than anything coming from trans people.
Conservatives have their own "gender ideology" they are pushing constantly, and it's one that's built on coercion and treating women like property.

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.

8 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In huge win, sweeping anti-GAC surgical ban for servicemembers stripped from Natl Defense Auth. Act (NDAA). Altho was in _both_ House _and_ Senate versions, Congressional negotiators stripped it out at the last minute.
Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
