Today, I learned about Dr. Anne Innis Dagg, a Canadian woman who traveled to Africa in the 1950s to study giraffes and is credited as the first person to study them in the wild. I wish I had known about her sooner, but I can watch the movie about her life, which I have requested from the library. 🦒

I've been completely sucked into World of Warcraft Legion Remix for the last 2 days. It's fun to revisit this expansion in this fast-paced version, but damn is it addictive!

I'm finishing Papyrus by Irene Vallenjo. After that, I will probably read The Book At War by Andrew Pettegree.

Tonight's family movie night choice was Tremors 7: Shrieker Island. We have enjoyed every Tremors movie and this one was no different, though something tells me this was likely the last one in the series - but you never know.

And let's finish the day by reviewing They Fear Not Men in the Woods, by Gretchen McNeil (pub by @dawbooks.bsky.social), a proposal that makes the most from its setting, delivering a great experience if you like atmospherical proposals.

Very exciting book mail arrived today. My copy of Falling In A Sea of Stars by Kristen Britain is here, and it's gorgeous! I have been reading this series since the first book came out more than 25 years ago. I have had this pre-ordered for MONTHS, and I'm so excited to finally have it. #booksky 📚💙

Oh man, just heard about Jane Goodall. RIP.

The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.
