Oakland. Snapdragon Tamer. Night Gardener. I mostly post about gardens, animals and basketball (mute the 🏀 symbol if you don't care to hear about it). Sometimes cocktails, music, or history.

That is wild to me! Seems like a perfect item for that kind of venue.

Not a vendor, but I think they're really lovely! I am guessing they're for indoor plants, but maybe people are just generally thinking less about plants this time of year?

I love defensive, tactical basketball. The Golden State Valkyries know who they are, and where their strengths lie, and how to get the most from one another. And they don't put up with bullies or bozos on, or off the court. What an easy team to root for. LFG!! 🏀💜

I would be fine with that! They could start awarding FTs plus possession for any intentional non-shooting fouls.

Yeah and Natalie Nakase learned a lesson from that Arike shot: foul up three. Until the league changes the rules for the end of games, you do what it takes to win. #WNBA

Hahaha everyone was so mad at Nat for not fouling up three in the Dallas game GSV lost, but now they're all ruffled she fouled up three in this game. Until fouling late in the game is penalized in some way, you use all the tools you have to win a game. 🏀

"From the Shore" by Carl Sandburg:
A lone gray bird,
Dim-dipping, far-flying,
Alone in the shadows and grandeurs and tumults
Of night and the sea
And the stars and storms.

Out over the darkness it wavers and hovers,
Out into the gloom it swings and batters,
Out into the wind and the rain and the vast,
Out into the pit of a great black world,
Where fogs are at battle, sky-driven, sea-blown,
Love of mist and rapture of flight,
Glories of chance and hazards of death
On its eager and palpitant wings.

Out into the deep of the great dark world,
Beyond the long borders where foam and drift
Of the sundering waves are lost and gone
On the tides that plunge and rear and crumble

Stevia is horribly bitter and excruciatingly sweet to me. I have to brush my teeth after I eat or drink something that has it. Apparently it’s genetic. It ruined Jarritos Tamarindo for me even though that is still mostly sweetened with sugar.

I can't quote or reply to the original post, but "what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?" led me to try to figure out the truly upsetting episode of Space 1999 I had seen on TV at my granny's house. This is it- Dragon's Domain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6gD...

Valkyries Violet PMS equivalent doesn't have a name (most Pantone shades do not, there are too many), so they're good 👍😊

Still wondering if Janelle Salaun got hurt at FIBA. Since she's returned, she shot 20% from 3 in the last two regular season games, and 22% from three in the playoffs so far- not counting today, where she took no threes at all and was 0 of 2 shooting. 🏀

She went to the locker room (early in the 3Q? late in the 2Q?), came back and sat on the bench, and never went in the game again. Hoping it's nothing that will keep her out of the next game. 🏀

I found more that were comparable after looking for awhile, but I've already decided to watch from home tomorrow. Still sorely tempted by this one blue dot in the top left, the Loneliest Seat in Chase Center. It definitely speaks to me.
Chase Center bare bones seating chart, with seats represented by grey, blue, and magenta dots. Most are grey- taken. There's one blue dot up at the very top of one seating area, with no seats on either side, and just two seats in front of it. There's a grey line to the right representing an acrylic wall (and probably an access staircase. Behind it is a grey gaping void.
