A season for abrogation.

If this spring challenged our beliefs or our understanding of the world, this summer will force us to desert them entirely. The Siberian wildfires are back with a vengeance. A virus spreads inexplicably through a population in exactly the manner viruses have spread for millennia.

She has been widely depicted as a traitor to nearly every ideal possible, but  patrons can read about how recent analysis establishes a counter narrative. And the narrative is a powerful thing to wield.  (Plus, there's death and oppression and it's hot as fuck so it's right on time.)
