Sapiens! Hello!My family and I are kicking off spring with a little trip to South Carolina, where we’re spending our time building sandcastles, riding bikes, and (in my case) trying to resist eating biscuits at every meal. From my years living in North Carolina, I can confirm that there is nothing better than a fresh, piping hot southern biscuit. The only thing that might come close? Some equally fresh, piping hot new research. Maybe served alongside the biscuit.

Hi! How was your weekend? Aja and I finally turned months of “we should double date more” into reality on Saturday night, catching a movie with our respective Sams. (1/4 of us actually likedthe movie — but the laughs we had dissecting it afterward more than made up for the questionable plot.)We capped the night at a favorite Cambridge dive from my early twenties.

Recently I was settling onto the couch with my three-year-old after a long day, ready for our nightly viewing of Bluey. Clad in his favorite Octonauts pajamas and clutching a stuffed dog, he pulled a blanket up over our legs and fixed his eyes on the TV screen. I grabbed the remote and waited for the screen to blink to life. Oh no.

Happy Monday, sapiens. I have an idea for a new type of Techno Sapiens post, and I want your feedback! Would you be interested in reading a more detailed breakdown of other families’ screen use?
