Mellifluous is also a pleasant word to say! I love that the Latin translates almost literally to 'flows like honey' 🍯
Pronounced TUR-Shuh in Irish or TOOR-shuh in Scottish I think many of us are experiencing this in a deep way.
The antidote is to find joy, gratitude, etc.
My daughter sent me this link today and it was the perfect antidote. President Obama telling the story of one woman‘s voice energizing him, a room and a movement. Fire it up! Ready to go!

pickHighly recommended for the enthusiastic armchair linguist like myself. This is an absolutely fascinating read. And the bibliography is huge!!! The in depth, impeccably referenced research is presented as coming together pieces of a jigsaw, each area of discovery added to the bigger picture. Complex ideas are explained in an accessible & entertaining manner & the whole thing is just so mind-blowingly interesting/intriguing/staggering 🤯🤯🤯
This is an incredibly valid and important point!

Starting this one today. It was a gift from my husband for International Women's Day. And a nice, fresh bookmark as well.

Probably #ldf's fallacy that he is best at is the ad hominem attack. The background picture in the image above is every attack #ldf has said against a person or a group. A picture literally is worth a thousand+ words ... and is horrifying.
To scroll through the ENTIRE list (just up until 2021! 😱), go here:

Such a fun word to say, but weird too 😂

Getting back into my weird word list. This one is another word I happened upon while reading. Love weird, wonderful and new to me words.
The best thing about coming home after a month away is book mail. (A close second is getting to sleep in my own bed.)
I took advantage of the Bookshop & BN sales that competed with Amazon‘s Prime Day but I left before they arrived. So yay! Plus I got two of my Allstora subscription books (the David Sedaris & Rufi Thorpe books). Then I picked up the Hawaiian Word Book at the HNL airport.
