Word of the day is dumfungled (19th century): used up, worn out, and approaching stupefaction.

A reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Being trauma aware in your friendships includes extending grace and compassion for the diminished capacity of those who are overwhelmed even when they don’t say it or look like it.

Just a reminder that we are still in a pandemic and people have invisible loads.

instead of writing “sorry for the delayed response” say “darkness took me and I strayed out of thought and time,” it’s more exciting and suggests that you recently had a rumble with a Balrog of Morgoth.

Word of the day is 'niffle-naffling' (19th century): dilly-dallying or generally futzing about as a way of ignoring the important stuff.

Word of the day is the German ‘Verschlimmbesserung’: an attempted improvement that only makes matters worse.

If you’re looking for a more pronounceable English equivalent, to ‘arsle’ is to shuffle inevitably backwards.
