Butch Anarchy

Atrophy and the Subterranean Microbiome

Lee Season 1 Episode 14

This essay by Lee Cicuta is a reflection on disability, settler colonialism, the fragility of microbiomes, and the fear of atrophy. It is a piece about archive, about loss, about relationship to environment, and about accessibility. It is an essay about a cave tour in the rural Midwest. It is an attempt to craft meaning in catastrophe.
