Totally Weird and Wonderful Words | Erin McKean

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 👍 24h

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. ❤️💙💜 16h

Mastering Logical Fallacies: The Definitive Guide to Flawless Rhetoric and Bulletproof Logic | Michael Withey

#weirdwords @CBee

One way I'm going to try to endure these next four years is to point out so-called “logical“ fallacies from this #ldf (lame-duck felon) and his underlings when I can. I'm filing these in my brain as #weirdwords because most logical people avoid these imbecilic traps.

Aims42 I‘m here for it! 🙌 2w

Amiable Holy cow, I literally noticed this word in a book about an hour ago! It's like you were looking over my shoulder. In my bedroom. While I was reading in bed. Which would totally be weird. 😄 2w

CatLass007 Everything is always related to cats. The world revolves around cats. So of course even if the definition doesn‘t mention cats, it‘s still about cats.🐱 @Amiable That‘s serendipitous! And weird. 2w

dabbe Cats are so special, they are part of their own concatenation. 🤩🖤🐾🖤🤩 2w

CBee @Amiable what, you didn‘t notice me there? 😂😂😂 I read it in a book too

Dear Fang, With Love: A novel

CBee @CatLass007 I knew you would appreciate that this word should be about cats. And probably is. Because cats 😊 2w

CBee @dabbe ooooo I see what ya did there. And I like it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2w

CBee @BookmarkTavern right? There was also another cool word I considered using but it was a type of really creepy looking fish. I went with the non creepy one obviously 😂😂 (edited) 2w

Amiable @CBee I was reading

King: A Life
