“Still Water” by Zhang Ran, translated by @andydudak.bsky.social, is a split-perspective, slow-building story of ALS and parenthood that comes together in an outstanding way clarkesworldmagazine.com/zhang_04_25/

Americans seem to think of Hurricanes as:
CAT 1: OK
CAT 2: Ouch
CAT 3: That could be bad
CAT 4: Should think about evacuation while getting water.
CAT 5: FUCK. IT'S A HURRICANE.

In the West Indies, we think of them this way:
CAT 1 - 3: FUCK, OMG, FUCK IS AH HURRICANE!
CAT 4 - 5: WELL WE DED NOW.

The only legitimate form of sports gambling is waiting to see who won the game, then challenging the biggest guy you can find in a other team jersey to a fist fight between the bar tables
