A Tree a Day: 365 of the World�s Most Majestic Trees | Amy-Jane Beer

From the reading for February 22 of A Tree a Day comes this fun but weird word!

epiphyte: a plant that grows upon another for support only, not as a parasite

julieclair I am totally loving this book! 5d

Daisey @julieclair I can‘t seem to ever remember to actually pick it up two days in a row, but I am loving it as well. 5d

julieclair Have you reached the page about the cork trees yet? It totally made me aware of my choices when buying wine. 4d

Daisey @julieclair I did, and I also found it really interesting. I never would have realized choosing real cork was beneficial to the sustainability of the cork trees. 3d

julieclair I know, right? But I will think about it now. 🍾 3d

After perusing all of the Ad Hominem attacks by this country's #ldf last week, I just can't do his fallacies anymore--at least for now.

Something maybe more fun? How about some allusions!?! I love learning/relearning these and hope to bring a new/not new one to you each week. 🤩

CBee Whatever you want to post is good with me ♥️ 5d

Today‘s gray weather was perfect for staying inside, curled up with a book and the last of my brownie batch.

Spring Flowers, Spring Frost: A Novel | Ismail Kadare

This book has a strange story of a woman marrying a snake, and when he arrives he is escorted by paranymphs. This word makes sense for someone accompanying a bride or groom, but it‘s an unfamiliar one.

Lindy Thanks for sharing this weird word. I was expecting it to mean some kind of fantasy creature. 😂🤓 2w

Daisey @Lindy When I first read it in this context, that‘s what I expected too. 2w

CBee I love this! Very mythological sounding 😊♥️ 2w

@CBee

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:

dabbe @TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal @Susanita If he has a presidential library, I hope it's every single one of his evil/hateful/stupid/____ tweets. That's all it should be. Walls and walls of tweets that say more than could ever possibly be said. 2w

TheBookHippie @dabbe I hope it lists everyone gleefully supporting him. 2w

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

If you, like me, are having a rough time right now, *gestures vaguely at everything* I cannot recommend enough doing things together as a community.

A neighborhood clean up, volunteering at your local library, joining a new book club. Be with people. ❤️ Yes, even us introverts.

#WeirdWordWednesday #WeirdWords @CBee

Aims42 Joining a Bookclub has been of the best things for my weary soul. 10/10 would recommend 👍 3w

MaGoose Going to a Book Circle at the local branch of the county library over the past few months has been a life saver for sure. Met new people and met new books. ❤️💙💜 3w
