snafoolery: the seemingly active implementations and support for processes that are broadly recognized to be ineffective and broken beyond our ability to fix but are continually renewed.

Don't know if this is a word (and perhaps it should be spelled SNAFUlery?) but I intend to start using it.

#TIL that i am what is known as a "larrikin" in #Australia, and i don't know how i feel about that because it does sound like me but i don't know if it has any negative connotations i should be aware of 😂

@mitchw my #newword for #today is #fisking thank you. Much admired Robert Fisk and glad to hear his name lives on in such a good way.

You know that thing that happens when you say a word many times over, and it stops sounding like a word, that is called 'semantic satiation.'

They hold a monopoly in my neighborhood in West Seattle. I thought that was illegal but I am naive.

No matter what contract you sign with them, they will not honor it and keep pushing up the prices by $15 here and there without any notification. This their thieving contract, which isn’t a contract, it’s theft and needs a #NewWord. They are thieves, criminals, nothing more. 2/X

‘#Tiktok 's #Enshittification’
#CoryDoctorow #Pluralistic shared by #Heated #EmilyAtkin

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

“I call this enshittification…”

I learned a new word today!

Amatonormativity: The widespread assumption that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term, coupled relationship and everyone is seeking such a relationship (from Elizabeth Brake)

If we don't have words for it, we can't talk about it or envision #RelationshipAnarchy or #FamilyAbolition or anything beyond the capitalistic, cis-normative, hetero-patriarchal #NuclearFamily

We need to establish new “groups” for #wordhoarder and #wordseeker

I come from a long line of teachers and English majors…and The Professor and the Madman is one of my favorite books.

Even more fun is making #NewWord s that make sense even if not real.

If Arithmatickers can do it, we can too.
