Hot off the press. A well referenced high quality statement from the International Hantavirus Society. High level: - Andes strain is different - some spread will occur - pandemic potential is tremendously low - lots to learn - what happens next is up to us zenodo.org/records/2007...

Man, this @raforall.bsky.social shirt from @igreggreene.bsky.social’s ThreadsofDread.com is SO cool. Built to be a conversation starter, yes?

I have a book hangover from reading @tananarivedue.bsky.social’s next book, Mazywood. If you wondered if she could follow up The Reformatory with something incredible- she did. I miss Mazelle and Amari already.

I read the title of @stephengrahamjones.com 's story in BACK FOR BLOOD: NEVER WHISTLE AT THE DARK PART II and wondered if I could just skip it because I could feel the terror and heartbreak.
