Memo to the people behind the ™️ ®️-like app: YOU'RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT to be requiring me to login again every week. Fucks sake.

Note: I'm almost certain that Wordsmith is not affiliated with Milton Bradley or whoever owns Scrabble now.

Remember when you found out who owned what and it almost was never a mega international conglomerate? Milton Bradley is probably a popcorn fart on the balance sheet of whoever owns them.

Note: these rants have not been fact checked.

Polyamorists, please help! What’s a good term for the child of your poly partner who is not your child, but for whom you play an important grownup role? Constantly saying “my girlfriend’s daughter” or “my partner’s son by another marriage” isn’t working!

I think the right term is “meta-nephew” or “meta-niece”, with the adult being a “meta-uncle” or “meta-aunt”. Does anyone have some better words? Maybe less gendered words?

I thought maybe before Chartreuse disappears off the face of the planet, I should have one of these.

Thanks, @SazeracLA. 🖖 Pretty amazing how these ingredients balance off against each other. I think if I were to rebalance it, I'd short the Chartreuse a bit.

Deception and disinformation are increasingly prevalent in today's world, making it difficult to discern truth from fiction. In 'Truth's Pursuit: Disentangling the Deceptive Maze,' I offer a thoughtful reflection on the challenges of seeking truth amidst the confusion of disinformation.

Yesterday I dismantled a sofa. Today I will not mantle a new sofa because that's not what mantle means.

I was trying to remember the word 'esoteric' all weekend and then heard it on the Modern Love podcast this morning.

The amount of relief this brings me is probably disproportionate, but I'm guessing other writers can relate.

Thanks nytimes.com/2023/03/08/podcast

" in Renaissance Spain, women of the upper classes weren’t allowed to leave their homes without male chaperones. There were cases of women leaning so far out of their windows to get a glimpse of the world they toppled to their deaths. It makes me feel guilty for not leaving the house more." - Leigh Bardugo

@Cullen18Cullen I am an attorney and litigation-related writing is my niche. I draft appellate briefs, trial court briefs, motions, memoranda, and substantive letters on a regular basis. I also help to train new lawyers on how to be effective legal writers. I love every bit of it!
