It’s a drizzly misty morning here in the deep red bit of Florida. The Trump supporters have been out all week when the weather was nice, but ‘twas only the Harris/Walz folks out today in their ponchos, braving the elements to support our gal and her pal.

Today I have literally 3/4 of my staff out, so guess who is in the lab all day?

It’s been about 8 years since I have manned the lab!

My favorite part of Gideon the Ninth (a sentiment that changes frequently) is the Camilla and Judith fight, and my favorite moment of that is when Harrow steps up and warns off the Eighth with 'death first to scavengers' because the reactions around the room are always so funny. There are comments like there's an alliance, like Sextus and Harrow have talked about this, like it was carefully orchestrated that the sixth house appeared weak when it was actually co-leader of one of the strongest blocks at Canaan House. These comments are so hilariously off the mark, and its so wild because all anyone really had to do was go talk to the 2 goth introverts like 3 times with a polite manner and they also probably would have gotten some of the most ride or die motherfuckers you could find in that spooky ass house.

I love that compassion, mutual respect and just plain equal footing are what ends up being key to so much of the series. I love that all it really takes is 4 different nerds ending up buddies to completely change the path of history. I adore team 69, a name they would have fought over heavily if they ever discussed the team up name.

Okay, folks, Xanax got me through Milton and it will get me through this week.

If someone could perhaps someday create a version of Word that

1. Works

2. Has a setting for “creative writing”

3. Has a usable mobile app

it would be GREAT.

Q has friends over. They have taken over the living room. They are playing … Mario Party? Maybe? Anyway, the husband has decided that what we need is a metric ton of popcorn made with ghee, like we’re some sort of hipster cool parent nightmare, and honestly it’s ghee popcorn, I’m not going to *argue* with him about making it, but he is being the most Mr Seldnei he could possibly be right now.

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw
