"This need for radical friendships and primal strangeness is the keystone of our technological life. Yet we must not subsist on this world on the tools we are given, rather we must be the co-creators of tools of worlding. We must find new ways to reclaim the power of trial and error, we must feel empowered by failure because to come undone is to come one step closer to learning how to live with chaos, and mastering the modes of surviving in a state of generative chaos."
-- "Radical Friends", page 114
The words that end the chapter The Reappropriation of Life and the Living – A Cosmic Battleground by co-editor Penny Rafferty. This wonderful chapter is a highlight in this book, and any section could easily have been quoted here.

Artist Cassie Thornton: "In these days of compulsive overwork in the so-called creative economy, we’re all sick artists. Using ancient technologies of peer-to-peer care, a grassroots health monitoring and diagnostic system is emerging, practiced from beds and couches all over the world. Participants co-produce a multi-dimensional image of each other’s physical, psychological, and social health. We call this image The Hologram."

Excellent commentary urging coupling of field and laboratory research on viruses in just bats but also other animals. Bridging the gaps between ecology, veterinary/wildlife pathology, human health, and lab-based molecular studies are imperative. #OneHealth #veterinarymed #wildlifepathology #virology #ecology

Coupling field and laboratory studies of immunity and infection in zoonotic hosts
The COVID-19 pandemic and discovery of SARS-CoV-2-like viruses in Rhinolophus bats has reinforced the need to identify wildlife sources of zoonotic pathogens and to forecast where and when spillover to humans is likely to occur.The Lancet Microbe

some random thoughts on decay of historical twitter data:
* all those old threadreader "unrolls" are gone
* all the storify collections too
* lots of those shortlinks are now broken or point to sites that are scammy, spammy or untrustworthy (c.f. shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/02/never… )
i don't know if i agree with the above post that there's a high risk of this being used for evil, but it's pretty easy to search your twitter data and delete, say, all gu dot com links en masse
