@stelepami you would think you’d want it to sound more like the catcher than the coach but i’m not sure there’s a vocal component at all? could just be four tone patterns

tampa camera crew makes some truly inspired choices

@djsundog agreed

the one in which a white lady explains that she “can’t show her face” bc liberals will yell at her for showing being white is very funny though

@bright_helpings i left the room for like 2 min to make tea and when i came back they were up six instead of two. can’t look away for a minute 😅

@Lady @love @moonsea but yeah the primary issue with “my fandom is a thing you do” hypotheses is that i would define which things you do count as fandom as those codified as fannish by the fandom community

which is very recursive. but also that is how communities often work—soccer fans sing the songs soccer fans sing at games because soccer fans sing them at games

@moonsea @Lady @love i am reminded of that DIY card catalogue that someone posted about a few weeks back in which a star trek TOS fan made entires for every episode which made heavy use of TV guide and newspaper clippings (it was made back when the show was first airing and is now in a university archive as a example of early fannish activities)

@moonsea @love i feel like eg. making icons also counts but yeah exactly

@moonsea @love i feel like if it is fandom depends on your way of engaging with a thing, not the thing itself? so like, not all people who watch figure skating are in figure skating fandom in the same way that not everyone who reads a novel is in that novels fandom but definitely *some* people are

@bea on reflection i’m not surprised this exists but i am somewhat surprised it sold well enough to show up on the used book market

@rowyn i suspect victory will get to stop panicking about having lost valor quite soon!

re: sportsball 

@wallhackio @Lady ok even leaving aside the number of ads they had specifically for this game during baseball yesterday AND the fact that we texted you about it on friday, you do know that brady is a fox sports announcer right?

@kamikat according to prariemoon.com cardinal flower and columbine are 60 day cold stratification—if you look up when your expected last frost date is and then count back two months back from that it should give you an idea on when the latest you can sow is but i wouldn’t expect these seeds to need any pre-treatment in the fridge

coneflowers don’t require cold stratification or any other kind of pre-treatment—I would wait until it is solidly winter to plant them because if you put them down now you risk them sprouting immediately. so either plant them midwinter at the same time as your other two seeds or in the spring

@kamikat what seeds are you planning to plant? if they only need 30-60 days of cold weather i would probably just wait and sow in November or December (I have gotten successful germinations on 30 day plants sowing as late as January, and it seems like you’re in a colder climate than me if you’re already past your frost date)

If they need 90+ I would probably stick them in the fridge or freezer (which depends on the seed) until the nightly lows have gotten properly chilly

On the other hand, while is a definite risk of seeds rotting/moulding or just getting eaten by squirrels and such if you sow too early obviously nature doesn’t have anywhere to put the seeds except outside and most plants do manage to reproduce just fine that way, so. If you’ve got a generous amount of seeds and want to just go for it it may just work out regardless

@apprendere ah i see! EDS is genetic so if bendiness and joint issues run in the family its a likely explanation, but if you aren’t having too many problems probably not worth the effort of pursuing further

(also one of those weird situations where its possibly to have the gene but be technically “sub clinical” because diagnoses is based on symptoms)

@hoja i also thought that one ad that used (fake?) car racing dudes was probably not ai but definitely terrible but i didn’t actually complain about that one out loud

@hoja untrue i wanted to murder the liberty mutual puppet without claiming it was ai
