i am fully aware that the new word of the month on my site would have been a much better fit for October ("sanguivorous," adjective - feeding on blood, as a bat or an insect), but alas i choose them randomly and i shall not violate that for the sake of theming.

#friday chats #if y'all are wondering How i choose them #i have a google doc chock-full of interesting words i've found #whether through dictionary.com's word of the day or through reading or songs or whatever else #and i just hover my mouse over the text close my eyes and scroll up and down at random for 30 seconds #a totally efficient process #yes the list is alphabetized. and there's headers for each letter so i can quick-jump to a section if i need to.#And i often comment in the margins with stuff like pronunciation or etymology or related words #AND. it is eighteen pages long.#bc i am a massive fucking nerd who's always loved expanding my vocabulary.
