I find #learning such an uplifting #activity. The dumber it makes me feel, the better. There is no masochism, but #pleasure in being #humbled. If one is to trust #AI, then no words for this exists. Call to action for #wordsmiths!

#language #English

Calling wordsmiths. We all know manspreading. I'm searching for a verb with a similar connotation, but for cars. (Big car for dudes with small dicks, most likely a city panzer, taking up two lots, optionally parked on the sidewalk)

I've come across the verb "carspreading", but it feels totally made-up. Is that a word people really use or more an invention of the press?

Boosts welcome!

"The reality is, our own weirdnesses may not be universal, but they are, at the same time, something someone else can understand. Storytelling is a cry in the dark. We just want someone else to hear us."

The Beat #Generation, a group of rebellious #wordsmiths who dared to question societal norms, challenged the #statusquo with their raw unfiltered expressions. Led by iconic figures such as #JackKerouac, #AllenGinsberg, and #WilliamSBurroughs, this #literary #rebellion thrived on the rejection of societal expectations.

Of course I know I’ll never read all the books already in my #ToBeReadPile, but that doesn’t blunt the excitement of the serendipitous encounter with book(s) by an author I knew nothing about. Sure, it adds to the list, but still. Recent discoveries: John McPhee and May Sarton. Two very different writers, but both wonderful #wordsmiths.
