@nickwedig I'd add sensory details: what it looks, smells, sounds, feels like. This opens the door, for me, to a lot of "who notices when you use it", too.

@rthorm @anmwinter @paulczege I love this idea (I always love sailing vessels) and would be happy to bounce ideas!

@mhoye that's the thesis behind OPCA litigation, for sure.

@lumpley Not what you were looking for, but I think you'll appreciate Little Yellow Roses anyway: https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/littleyellowroses.html

@lumpley @Sandra @JoshuaACNewman

I only recently learned that the use of "stan" as a verb comes from a murder ballad that Eminem wrote. It's a delightful and living tradition.

(YES YES i am behind on modern anything.)

@lumpley @paulczege Oh, I think I saw that around somewhere, yeah, I think Meg put it down somewhere in the kitchen (no, it doesn't help)

@lumpley @paulczege This is tall-order territory!

@lumpley (Also, thank you for asking me this, it has me listening to a lot of GREAT music.)

@lumpley As far as song-type goes, is this in the right direction: https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/theboldgrenadier.html

(Obviously, none of the versions here have the line you mention, but.)

@lumpley I'm neck-deep in Mainly Norfolk looking for connections now.

@lumpley @JoshuaACNewman that right there is where ghosts come from. We haunt ourselves. Just sayin'.

@lumpley if I can, it won't be immediate. This'll be in my head for days.

@mhoye "frypothesis".

@ckoppelman@mastodon.online quite possible

Have you ever played the board game Pandemic? Hard to play nowadays, but it has at least one important lesson in it:

You can develop a cure for each of the 4 diseases, and you can, once you have a cure, eradicate a disease.

However, you win by cures, not eradications. And pursuing eradication will, in almost all cases, lose you the game.

Covid ain't gonna be eradicated. But we can reach a world where we can manage it.

@mastohost I love this, I think it's important, and I think it's a perspective on project goals and governance more projects could use.

@ckoppelman@mastodon.online it takes active work and time (facilitated with the local and federated timelines) to find folks to follow.

@Sandra just so!
