Would it be accurate to say that our microbiome, which plays a crucial role in immunity and mood regulation, ultimately contributes to our own decomposition and eats us? Is that the microbes end game and reason for living, to feed on us, and would we live longer without them inside us?

Jim Ghedi’s new single, Sheaf & Feld, is out now...drenched in dystopian post-folk with synths, electric guitars, heavy drums, and a remarkable falsetto. It’s a giant of a song…totally blown away by the energy of it all. klofmag.com/2025/01/jim-...
