Unfuckwithable (adj.)

When you’re truly at peace and in touch with yourself and nothing anyone says or does bothers you, and no negativity or drama can touch you.

“Eco-nun” is a great new word for my word horde. What a task you’ve undertaken! Thank you 😊

I sincerely appreciate your analysis of human psychology and emotions re climate crisis plus showing the dysfunctional behaviors of corporations like victim blaming. It’s accessible and eye opening.

I’ve decided to listen to you narrate your book “Saving Us”, first.

@NewScience101 That’s a great article. Fascinating subject, too. I’ve always been interested in how musicians tour a studio album. They have to break it down into its basic parts and sometimes that ends up really different from their studio album. Great word analyst.

@futurebird “My shoulders were hurting this morning because I was slomped over my journal entry without my reading glasses.” Perfect! Hope you don’t mind if I add it to my word horde.

@kevinrns @ArrowbearMoore I get it. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I love the evolution of language, “new” words and archaic words and often include the hashtag when I find them. Want to add this to my horde.

What an excellent list of words! Thanks for sharing 🙏

We need a new word for a response from a multi-member organization that refers to themselves as “we” though it’s clear the response was written by an individual (I); also not the royal “we.”

These Drukpa (dragon) “Kung-Fu nuns” are bad ass disrupters, breaking down centuries of gender barriers. They’re environmentalists, too. This is the most uplifting article I have read in weeks!

“We are changing rules of the game,” said Konchok Lhamo, 29, a Kung Fu nun. “It is not enough to meditate on a cushion inside a monastery.”

@Anthro @kerryburnetty Geographical “guts!” That’s a great new for me word! Guts are a series of sloughs and backwaters in a lowland basin aka “waller” wallow!
