Happy Monday Open Thread - It's a Waning Crescent Moon Tonight


(Actually typing this on Friday, November 26th, when the phase of the moon is waning gibbous)



According to the internet, I was born the night of a waxing gibbous, the day before a full moon. Also my moon sign is sagittarius, whatever that means.
Here's a song by Beth and Rustin Man:

Lunar phases. Print and keep in pocket for handy reference, unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere.



Did you know? Gibbons are lesser apes that share 96% of their genome with humans, have weird ball-and-socket wrists, and can vocalize at a greater volume than humans though they're only about half the height. The females sing to attract mates and mark their territory. There are white-cheeked gibbons at the Lincoln Park Zoo, and they are sexually dimorphic: the males are black with white cheeks, the females a light creamy brown. All their offspring are born the same shade as the female, the males changing as they mature.

I can't focus today
so instead of saying more
tell us about your day
(I should have said before)
