A small raccoon in a big universe! I study exploding stars in distant galaxies by night and explore our home planet by day. 🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧, ♠️, 44, he/him/etc

Amazing weekend of birthday schenanigans and other good times with some excellent critters in Berlin ^__^ Now onward to Heidelberg (for a conference that I will be woefully underprepared for...)

Whew, made it to Berlin at a semi-reasonable time in the end. Party weekend ahead - looking forward to putting the travel stress behind me!

Flight to Berlin was cancelled, creating a total and stressful mess of trying to get rebooked, finding a place to stay tonight.... things are maybe sorted now, but the whole thing has left me on edge and it's hard to sleep, and tomorrow I have to be up at 5:30...

A little sad that I'll be missing EF yet again this year (it was always lots of fun, but I haven't made it over since the move to Hamburg). But! I will be at the Yorkshire party Saturday and then in Berlin the following weekend so I do have a lot to look forward to still this summer!

Stayed in Segovia for a couple days after the eclipse. Lovely place - lots of history and scenery, very walkable and not too crowded

Finally back home after 4 straight weeks of travel. My summer adventures aren't entirely over... but from now on the trips will be relatively short and to places not so far away.

Vancouver was really nice, as usual - wish I could visit more often. For now though, it's finally time to fly home!

Back in Vancouver again, where this trip started! Hard to believe that it was only a 18 days ago that I was last here, considering everywhere I've been since...

After an incredible vacation in the Arctic, it's finally time to begin the (slow) journey towards home. An amazing trip - hope to be back again someday :)

Made it to Inuvik, NWT, the end of the Dempster Highway. Hanging out here with @km251lynx.bsky.social for a couple days waiting for the weather to clear before heading even further north!

Marseille was nice but it's been 35+°C all week (and 39° yesterday) and I am looking forward to leaving this heat behind, even if it involves waking up at 4am!

Packing for a conference, a wedding, a furry con, and a wilderness backpacking trip all at the same time... feels rather disorienting! (The events aren't all at the same time, just the packing - I'm doing all of these things one after another in sequence over the next few weeks.)
