So, I think tonight’s the night to really dig in to this book.
Apropos of nothing, and all that.
(Especially as it is two weeks overdue to my exceptionally indulgent public library).

The Youngest announced he was Going To His Bedroom. A parental check occurred and he was discovered to be Reading A Book for Bedtime.
The book in question - P.W. Singer’s “Wired for War” - and honestly, good for him. I haven’t even started it yet.

The Youngest was extra scharf tonight, declaring this was “The Worst Day Ever. Ever! I mean it!” But as I gave him a kiss on the temple as he turned away, I whispered “I had fun on our hike together this morning,” and he-begrudgingly- mumbled back “I- I guess, I had fun with you too, mom.”

If you insist to me that “this is your my profession, I am a professional,” I might actually not take you seriously.

More raccoons? Turns out it would be bad news.
We're predicting where key reservoirs of the raccoon rabies virus (🦝 and 🦨) may be in Québec by 2100, and if we don't act on climate change, the answer may be: everywhere. 🧪

Climate change may dramatically increase the range of raccoons and skunks in Québec. Good news? Nope. They are two reservoirs of the raccoon rabies virus. In a recent preprint, we discuss how this might play out over the next 80 years. 🧪🧵

Need to implement this rule in my house post-haste!
we have a rule at our house that if it is past 9pm and you are having feelings, the only thing you are allowed to do is have a snack and go to bed, so anyway, I will be having a snack and going to bed!!

I love that I think I’ll get caught up on anything at all when I’m home sick.
Sleep is the only thing I might come close to catching up on, and that’s because it’s the only thing my body lets me do.
What I’m saying is I’m behind on a couple of things.

Took an extended lunch break today to enjoy the #autumn colours before the coming winds and rain blow the foliage away.
The river Wear in the #Durham area is lovely in any season, but particularly so in elusive autumn sunshine. 😊

The Youngest requested family game time with me, then picked Uno NO MERCY. He demolished me in the first game, then stated he was going easy on me - then played three +10 cards followed by a +6 card - which triggered the “mercy” rule (any player with 25+ cards in their hand).
A fun game. A good kid.
