Enjoying this so far. In odd synchronicity, it made me more curious about the papers behind this article (which I need to look into) which suggests we're finding evidence there has never been a mass extinction: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2481371-theres-growing-evidence-the-big-fiv...
This book, of course, is pretty certain that there was!
Went to the beach with the kids today and I took the wrong book. 😭 😭 😭 I took one I‘d already read.
The weather is gloomy, but the cool feels nice to this middle-aged afab body. I moved away from the desert at exactly the right time. :)
How is the weather in your parts and what is your fave beach/park read?

My 16yo and I have agreed on a reading challenge: We will each read 20 pages a day of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. If we do that, we will complete the book before we leave on our trip to the Galápagos Islands in a few weeks. And this (somehow?) will enhance our trip. At page 206, am I having regrets? Perhaps.
New bookstack! ☀️ What is everyone reading this long weekend?
Well, I think this is my winner for April. Fascinating, well-written, and a joy to read.

Words of advice from Mr. Darwin. Luckily we can still do these things in this country. For now. 🤞🏻 #carpediem
