Sunday fun floating down the River Dee in Carrog 🥰
Saw @susiedent.com yesterday at Salford Quays, couldn’t get the QR code to work to mention a new term I heard that really needs to get into the dictionary. With cold water swimming becoming so popular we’re seeing a huge rise in cases of fannyphylactic shock 🤣🤣🤣

Word of the day is one I mention often. To have the ‘mubble-fubbles’, in the 16th century, was to experience a fit of despondency or low spirits - another name for the Sunday blues.

Oh to be a loved doggy unaware of the world beyond walks, food, play and love! #dogsofbluesky
Word of the day, though I’m sure no one will need it, is ‘eye servant’ (16th century): an individual who only pays attention or works hard when the boss is looking.
Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

Word of the day. Or week. Or next four years.
A fantastic evening listening to another Seed Talk. Dr Megan Klabunde spoke about current research into the brain and body connections and how trauma impacts children and adults. Brilliant talk - keep up with the therapy because it works, and take up yoga and mindfulness were my takeaways 😊
What an excellent and impactful project!
@andreabernstein.bsky.social will there be a follow up in light of the recent election result? 😱
We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:

Listening to the Will be Wild podcast - really worth a listen! www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tru...
Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.
Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.
Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
For any fans of Wordle and similar word
games, Two Words is back and (we hope) even more accessible.
You can give it a go here.

Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz assisted in the longest in-depth longitudinal study on human life. They found that “we neglect our connections with others at our peril.”

An interesting evening listening to @slavojiek.bsky.social in Edinburgh. A vast range of topics discovered in a short space of time! Just downloaded his podcasts so I can hear more.
Good morning.
Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.
