A certain someone‘s voice is cacophonous to me. While in the literal sense of the word I might be wrong but the physical response I get when I accidentally hear it makes it seem so.

I saw a IG reel posted by Cory Booker of a woman sharing the definition of trumpery. And sure enough it‘s right there in my Miriam-Webster dictionary. Sometimes the universe gets it right.

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:

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.
