Nope, it‘s not a type of multivitamin 😂 Just a super cool musical instrument that is apparently quite hard to master. Links: https://youtu.be/-QgTF8p-284?si=yBQCF2IBXR-Z3Tq6

TheSpineView Neat! Thanks for the tag!💛🏷 6d
Deblovestoread Makes me think of a Big Bang episode. That‘s where I learned about them. 😀 6d
Bookwomble One of my favourite bands, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion use a theremin on their earlier albums. And the mighty Portishead have been known to dabble! 6d
AlaMich A theremin also featured in Severance in this last season. The actor learned to play for the role 6d
dabbe How effin cool is this? 🤩🎶🤩 6d
CBee @Bookwomble oh, I love Portishead. A theramin has such an eerie sound and them using it makes perfect sense 👏🏻 6d
CBee @AlaMich I read about that! I haven‘t watched Severance but all I hear are good things! 6d
CBee @BookmarkTavern wow! How‘d that go? I‘m very musical but it looks so daunting! 6d
BookmarkTavern She loved it! It was a challenge and that‘s what drew her to it! 6d
Amiable @Deblovestoread Ha ha, me too! I saw this and immediately thought of Sheldon Cooper. 😄 6d
CBee @BookmarkTavern incredible 👏🏻👏🏻 6d
Daisey @Amiable @Deblovestoread I thought the same thing when I saw it! 😆 6d

FRIENDS!! Posting late but I didn‘t want anyone to miss out on the absolute cuteness that is the pygmy marmoset! Sometimes I veer off course with the “weird” part, because cute animals 😂 Here‘s an article about them: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/pygmy-marmoset #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 Cuuute! 2w

AmyG I love all monkeys! 🐒 2w
ncsufoxes My 15 year old is obsessed with the golden lion tamarins (he‘s obsessed with all types of monkeys). We saw them last summer at the zoo in Rhode Island. He still talks about them. We live close to the zoo in DC & just found out they have emperor ones (they have a long mustache). We used to live in San Diego & were frequent visitors of the zoo but I don‘t remember the marmosets. (edited) 2w

Leftcoastzen So cute! 2w
TheSpineView Adorable 2w
CBee @ncsufoxes I love them too! We have cotton-top tamarins at our local zoo. They look like what Einstein would look like if he were a monkey I think 😂 2w

I‘m positive this word has been shared before for #WeirdWordWednesday , but I had to take some books off of a bookshelf today because the shelf has developed a concerning curve to it. So it‘s been on my mind. 😂😂 #WeirdWords

I‘m going to need to buy another bookshelf. 😅

shortsarahrose I grabbed a free, recently deleted book from the library I work at yesterday. Put it on top of a massive stack on top of one of my shelves. It fell off within minutes. So I put it on a different massive stack 😆 I have a problem 🫠 3w
BookmarkTavern @shortsarahrose Sounds like a good problem to have! 😆 3w
CBee Same problem here 😂🤪 3w

Not really weird but it‘s an opportunity to brag on my oldest kiddo (he will always be a kiddo for me despite being almost 13 😱). He was watching a play through of a favorite video game and mentioned how one villain shows up at the start, but you don‘t actually fight the villain until the end. He said “and that‘s an example of foreshadowing.” LORD I love this kid. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CBee Scott, wasn‘t sure which account to tag so, I tagged both 😊 @vivastory @eclectic-reader 3w
Deblovestoread Smart kiddo! 3w
TheBookHippie Love it!! 3w

Bedtime reading: a gift from friends so, for a change, I actually know what I‘m talking about.

It isn‘t musical instrument related and it isn‘t a fish 😂 I am always excited when I find new X words and especially words that don‘t mean what I think they mean 😃 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
