IT IS SEPTEMBER! WHY IS IT STILL IN THE 90s?!? 🫠

#WeirdWordWednesday #WeirdWords @CBee

wildwoodreads I fear it will stay in the nineties until late October here in Alabama 🥵 3d
BookmarkTavern @wildwoodreads Oof! And you‘re dealing with the humidity too! 🫠 3d
wildwoodreads @BookmarkTavern Yeah it‘s rough lol. And honestly it‘s been in the high seventies on Christmas Day more times than I can count. One year we played basketball and I wore a tank top. 😂 3d

dabbe PERFECT word for Phoenix, too. It's been in the low 100s but with humidity above 60%. I love when the weather channel writes: Actual temp: 102. Feels like 108. 😳Yeah. Thanks, weather gods! 😂🔥😂 3d
CBee @wildwoodreads I‘m in Alabama too - hi! And 🥵😭 3d
wildwoodreads @CBee Hi, neighbor! What part are you from? I‘m in Northeast AL. 3d
TheBookHippie It was coool here then bam today it was 80 3d
CBee @wildwoodreads about 20 miles south of Birmingham 👋🏻 3d

Every wondered about the origin behind the word, Wednesday? And why isn‘t it pronounced Wed-nes-day, so weird. Anyway, here you go! I always thought the days of the week were all named for Roman gods - nope! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
Also, an article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/02/why-wednesday-the-days-of-the-week...

TheBookHippie Oh this is fascinating!!!! 3d
CBee @TheBookHippie I thought I was being lazy by actually choosing the word “Wednesday” but, it ended up being a lot more interesting 🤓 3d

TheBookHippie @CBee it‘s really fun. Look how smart you are!!! 3d
CBee @TheBookHippie aw gee 💚💚💚 3d
CatLass007 It really should be pronounced Wed-nes-day. 3d
Bookwomble I've always pronounced it wed-ns-day 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
Daisey Great choice for today‘s word! 3d
kspenmoll I thought the same, from the Romans. This was such fun!!!! 3d
BookmarkTavern How cool! 🤩 3d
dabbe I love learning new things! Thanks, m'dear! 🧡🩶💜 3d
CBee @Bookwomble I say “Wensday” 🤷‍♀️😂 3d
AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩👍🏼💝💝💝 I loved when I first learned about this...also Woden connects with the God Odin, the chief Norse God. 3d
CBee @AnnCrystal yes, I read that! I really need to read more Norse mythology. (edited) 3d
AnnCrystal @CBee ☺️👌🏼 mythology is incredibly fun.

The name connection for Thursday is my favorite.

Funny thing, is that I've learned a boatload of legends from around the world and realized a few years ago that (in comparison) I know so little about the legends from my own ancestral world 😂🤔🥺 I'm currently on a journey to correct this about myself ☺️💫📚💝.

Cuilin I love stuff like this!!!! Thank you for sharing. 3d
CBee @AnnCrystal that sounds fascinating! Best of luck on your journey 💚 3d
CBee @Cuilin yay! So glad 💚 3d
lil1inblue I love this! Etymology is fascinating. 💫 🌟 💫 2d
CBee @lil1inblue the stars you added remind me of “the more you know” 😂😊💚 2d
lil1inblue @CBee That was what I was thinking about! I'm glad someone understood my thought process. 🤣 2d
CBee @lil1inblue from your posts and interacting with you a little, I think I can follow along pretty well. In the midst of our meteorology joint pain journey, we could also start a #randomthoughtsclub 😂😂 2d

A main reason I loved being in education was that pretty much every year everybody started out as a tabula rosa; everyone had a chance to start over. 💚

CBee Yes! Love it 💚 2w

I took this picture in the Wigan North Western railway station when I was visiting last week! There was a whole alphabet of phrases, and I wish I had had the time to take pictures of all of them!

I decided to keep it light for #weirdwordwednesday. So, instead of trying to explain how socialism and communism are not the same thing (😅), I present the echidna. Because, in this horrible dumpster fire we are currently living in, who doesn‘t want to look at and learn about cute, unique animals? 😁

dabbe I want a golem as a protector! Mine would probably turn into a destructive one, though ... like Gollum in LOTR. 🩵💙🩵 2mo

CatLass007 I just finished the first three books of the Black Hat Bureau series, in which one of the main characters is a golem. Fun books! 2mo
lil1inblue @dabbe #ditto 🩵🤣 2mo
AlaMich This is a great novel with a golem as the MC. 2mo
CBee @dabbe hahaha mine probably would too. I‘d rather some Heinzelmännchen: https://germangirlinamerica.com/heinzelmannchen-the-elves-of-cologne/ 2mo
CBee @AlaMich I‘ve heard that‘s a good one! 2mo
CBee @JenniferEgnor one that wreaks havoc, I see 🫣🫣 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 cool! 2mo
dabbe @CBee @CBee Oh, yes please! How adorable! 🩵💙🩵 2mo
CatLass007 There was an episode of the X-Files that featured a golem. But when Dana Scully was narrating, she called it a gollum. 2mo
AnnCrystal 🆒☺️👍🏼💝. 2mo
StaceGhost I just saw a really cool seminar about golems in folklore! Love all the new books with golems coming out 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 I think the pronunciation is similar? I can see how one would pronounce it gollum. I‘m too much of an LOTR fan to make that mistake 😂🤓 2mo
CBee @StaceGhost that sounds awesome! 2mo

I adore mythological stories.

CBee ME TOO!!! I never tire of mythology. Edith Hamilton‘s book turned me into such a nerd for it 🤓🤓 2mo
lil1inblue I vividly remember my introduction to Greek mythology in the 4th grade. I was OBSESSED. I remember being so morose when the unit was over! Since then, I've been drawn to all sorts of mythological stories form all sorts of cultures! 😍 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue Me, too! I loved that the stories were short, too! 😂 I adored teaching THE ILIAD and THE ODYSSEY to my honors freshmen. They didn't love it as much as I did, though! 😍 2mo
lil1inblue @dabbe I loved reading both in high school - my teacher adored them, as well, so it made it all the better! So many great discussions! 🤩 I should reread them one of these days.... 2mo
dabbe @lil1inblue So many books ... 😍 2mo
