I love you! If you're American, please vote!

Hail! Very loud hail. Little dog with heart disease does not approve.

Another thing I learned today is that miller moths are very filling. The immature screech owls are not passing mouse school because there are so many miller moths to eat instead. I say, if they're flying well enough to maintain their weight on miller moths, they're flying well enough to be released, but. We Have A Protocol.

Books I gave this Jólabókaflóð:

To younger niece:
Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
Fang Girl by Helen Keeble
To older niece:
Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
To Nixie:
The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks
La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
(I think there must have been one more here???)
To Mungo:
What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe
Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction by Annalee Newitz
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
To Neal:
The Girl With All the Gifts by M. R. Carey

In other weather news Mungo's flight back to Montreal got cancelled. His new flight is at 5 a.m. Saturday morning, with a three-hour layover in Newark. I hope he doesn't get stuck in Newark.

I'm going to tag any political posts with "politics" from now on. If you have a paid DW account, you can filter them off your reading page.

Go to "Manage Filters" (https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/subscriptions/filters), choose "Default view" (or whichever filter you read me on), and then click on my name. You should get these choices:

Show only content that ...
... is rated [anything(show all content)/safe or non-explicit/safe for work only]
... and the entry is tagged with [any/all/none]
of the selected tags:
(no tags selected)
Available tags (click to select):

Choose "none" from the dropdown menu on "the entry is tagged with". Click "politics" on the list of available tags.

I'm going to tag this post "politics" so the tag will be there to click! I am sorry that this option is only available to paid DW accounts. I will also put political posts behind a cut tag so you can avoid reading them.
